SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
View MoreFun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

BEYOND DreadfulAn interesting idea for a show that is rendered unwatchable by the obnoxiousness of the cast. I also question whether the show is 100% on the up and up.Christopher Titus, host, is simply annoying. He is obnoxious, overbearing and NOT funny, as far as I can tell the only people who laugh at his 'jokes' are the people on camera (and I suspect there's a flashing "LAUGH" sign right above the lens on the cameras).Rick Harrison, who is quite likable on Pawn Stars, comes off as an insufferable bore on this show. Not content with answering questions he often feels the need to offer details (not all of which are accurate), which raises questions about the integrity of the game.When was the last time you saw a contestant of a game show answer a question successfully and THEN go on to provide further details than provided by the host?He comes off like an arrogant Cliff Clavin.Of course this could have something to do with the fact that the questions are all geared to Rick's interests (he IS a smart guy).Definitely worth missing.
View MoreThis show mocks the stupidity of the American public. It's a comedy show with Rick Harrison and gang keeping their reputation on unfair terms. The ironic genius of the show lies in the fact that the headphones aren't a means to silence but, to pass information. Will the Pawnstars ever go first in the final stage? It's also fun to realize what you know based on the absurdity of the question and what you truly know; throwing the 25% possibility aside. Can you walk home with a civil war musket in your shorts? The host is hilarious and is promoting a product Corey definitely isn't sold on because he feels as if it's humbling his father and therefore tarnishing a brand. This is a new perspective on someone selling their soul for money. Well done. Corey go to law school.
View MoreShow is lacking and seems simplistic. The host is rather annoying and he gives Rick an edge on bartering at the end.EVERY time a contestant finishes answering the 60sec quiz, the host asks; "how do you think you did", BUT, he asks this as Rick, Corey and Chumlee are already walking out with their headphones off. This clearly gives Rick a bartering advantage because Rick can hear how the contestants think they did on the quiz. I do not like this and it is very sneaky! I noticed this the first episode and it has remained the same for the other one's. Not sure if Rick can actually hear the contestants response, but it's sneaky none the less.And it seems Rick dropped the surprised look after the the 1st round of episodes regarding the show pulling items from his store. There's NO WAY they are taking stuff without his permission. It's completely staged.I dislike the host. He's tacky, goofy and annoying.I have watched every episode of Pawn Stars show and I still enjoy that show.
View MoreI consider myself a clever fellow. I have studied history for over 10 years. And it is sad that when I watch this show it means jack squat.The rules are straight forward. The questions are simple but complex. If you were ever a fan of Titus? This show is up your alley. The host is quick witted and he knows his stuff too. There was a few references to his break through performance "Norman Rockwell is bleeding" but it was very subtle in the questions of a few episodes. Rick, Corey, Chumlee work well in this scenario. Also it's fun seeing Rick's face when they are losing. Some of the items have more sentimental value than cash value and too me that makes this show interesting.If you like history? Artifacts? Fun questions? This show is for you.Great to see diversity from the History Channel.
