    Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

    Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

    what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

    OK I admit at first I tried the show and didn't like it that much but as time progressed I learned just how much fun it could be to watch I now love the show and think mr fox is hilarious as a host you really have to know your music to enjoy the show properly but seeing as I love music this was a total blast for me and my family

    If you want a game to play with your family while watching TV, watch this show. In my house, we make our own teams and keep our own scores, which makes this show much more entertaining to watch. I see a board game of this in the future...and I hope it comes with thousands of songs because I would play the heck out of it. And I would probably win, too. That being said...I feel like it could be more challenging for the contestants. There are decades and decades of music and I feel like they don't change it up enough. I mean, unless you are really trying to give that million dollars away?? It's too easy. We are living in a day and age where nobody listens to only one genre of music. Everybody is pretty much eclectic. Throw some oldies in that mix...like Simon and Garfunkle...Hall and Oates...Paul Anka, Dion, Chuck Berry....don't cater to just the last 30 years!

    "Beat Shazam" is a game show in which three teams of two try to identify popular songs the fastest. (In the first episode, the teams consisted of a father-son team, a sisters team, and a brothers team.) They compete for cash prizes that start at $1,000. Early rounds are multiple choice.As they go through the rounds, teams are eliminated and the cash prizes increase. In the final round, the winning team competes against the song identification application Shazam. The amount of money at stake is significant. And if the team can identify six consecutive songs faster than Shazam, they win the maximum prize of $1 million.The songs cover all genres. Sometimes they are grouped by artist. Don't expect to hear "Chattanooga Choo Choo", because most songs are from the 1970s on.This is a fast moving show. Host Jamie Foxx (aided by DJ October Gonzalez) is there to keep things energetic and interesting. Other than when he resorts to race-based humor, he does a good job. In the first episode, guest Terrence Howard chose the titles for one round. This was the best part of the show, because he obviously loves music and his passion elevated the proceedings. I missed this feature in the second episode. Future guests should have similarly diverse tastes.Although I could not identify many of the songs and (unlike "Jeopardy", for example) I was not taught much, the quick pace and the unabashed joy for music made the show very enjoyable.
