one of my absolute favorites!

Dreadfully Boring

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Basically it was Romeo & Juliet in 2003. The son of a district attorney and the daughter of a porn king meet and fall in love. Their parents forbid them to see each other. But they love each other.... It only really focused on R&L in the first 2 episodes....I LOVED the sequence in which "Juliet's" maid gets "Romeo" out of school. After episode 3 it went off on its own direction....but FOX canceled it before we got to see the rest of them.What's the problem? It moved fast, had good actors as the parents, had two VERY attractive leads (especially DJ--WOOF!)and had plenty of high tech glitz. Also the sex angle was nowhere near as explicit as some people thought--it was actually pretty tame. FOX DID promote this through the roof, but they said episode 1 had 4 million viewers--episode 2 had 3 million--episode 3 had 2 million--they HAD to cancel it! It's really too bad--this show never had a chance. Also critics loved it. I think if FOX had given the show a chance and shown ALL the episodes it might have gotten an audience. But these days a show has to be a hit right away to survive. Sad.I really hope somebody else picks this up--but I doubt it. It's a real good show. R.I.P.

I'll be totally honest i was dying to see "skin". I definitely wondered how they were going to tackle certain touchy subjects on network tv. so now that i've seen two shows i'm not even sure why i bothered. the show is an utter and complete bore. olivia wilde definitely has the potential to be a very interesting presense but i'm sure we will never get to see any evidence of this. hopefully bruckheimer will remember her later on down the line and put her in one of his loud films.i was hoping skin was going to be like the nip/ tuck of the porn world but it's more like a slick after school special written by someone's mom who saw a porn once and was completely traumatized.

well, when i first saw the previews for this i was hooked...the romantic in me was going at in when they showed the netting clip. so anyway last night (10*20) i watch it and i was really intruged by it. although the plot is rather romeo and juliet-ish ( i seriously laughed out loud when we learned that her name was jewles, and bumed out when adam's name wasn't a version of romeo) it holds alot of promise. everything from the pool sceen to when adam sneeks out to see jewles to when they are together for the first time had me so involved in this un-folding story. there are so many avenues that can be explored i think that i am hooked on this latest FOX creation. 4.5 stars out of 5

(Includes spoilers of the pilot)Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer (who is himself Jewish), Skin tells the story of a Jewish girl named Jewel (the absolutely gorgeous Olivia Wilde) who meets a half-Irish/half-Mexican Catholic guy named Adam (DJ Cotrona) by chance at a party. In the following week we discover that Jewel's father (Ron Silver) is the head of a porn empire and Adam's father is the district attorney up for reelection who wants to bring him down. Thinking he has him on a kiddie porn violation, Tom Roame (Adam's father) takes him to court where the judge throws out the case. Once each father discovers who their kid is dating, fireworks ensue. Both parents forbid their kids to date each other - yet even though they've only been dating for a week, they refuse. Tom also thinks he has found a way to bring down Larry (Jewel's father) and another man (played by a black actor in keeping with the multicultural - minus Wasps - theme) by pitting them both against each other while Larry also seeks to find dirt on Tom. The pilot ends with Adam and Jewel, virgins up to this point, putting an end to their chastity.While a rather unusual storyline for network TV which has me very interested in how the Romeo and Juliet theme will last an entire season, not even the stunningly beautiful Olivia Wilde will be able to keep this show on the air.
