    The Age of Commercialism

    Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

    The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

    One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

    Alex Russo is one of the worst role-models for children in television (or world) history.Alex Russo is one of the most horrible characters in the history of television. To say that she is a bad role model is a compliment. She is rude, obnoxious, irresponsible, smarmy, lazy, selfish, self-centered, uneducated; illiterate; and stupid, unreliable, smug, arrogant, bossy, pushy, a bully, an underachiever, a cheater, and a liar, and does the bare minimum to get other to forgiver her until the next time she does something bad. For example, she purposely sabotaged Justin and Harper's friendship for her own selfish benefit. Another example is when she turned Justin and Zeke into puppets against their wills, again for her own selfish benefit. There is nothing redeeming about her and that she has been made the center of the show only serves to drag the whole program down. Impressionable children should not be exposed to her. Unfortunately the stupid writers keep making her out to be "cool" as though being bad is a good thing, which just makes the show all the more inappropriate, especially for impressionable young children.The absurd scenarios are all extremely force and contrived and unbelievable (even for a fantasy show). The family is always somehow responsible for saving the world as though there is something special about them (which has been repeatedly established is not the case because there are plenty of other often include flat out offensive scenarios in which the Russos (Alex specifically) do things that are basically crimes.One example is when Alex "outsmarted" the dragon seller by switching their dog with that of another person at that the dog-show. Excuse me? In what universe is she a hero? She just kidnapped someone's dog! Did it not occur to her that the person might be heart-broken and crushed that their pet has vanished? Of course not; she only thinks about Another example was when T.J. turns Jenny Majorhealey from a 16-year-old girl into a a 40-year-old woman. First of all, where and how was she living for the past few months? Second, did it not occur to the writers that this is a stupid plot? Did they not think that Jenny's parents would have freaked out and searched the city for their missing daughter? Did they not think that this "innocent and funny" plot point is actually an *Amber Alert* and the stuff of "Law and Order"?Another example is when Harper threw a slumber-part for girl-Max and had a bunch of girls from his school over. Magic went awry and the girls were turned into old men. What was the Russos' solution? To turn the girls into (talking) fruits! If that wasn't bad enough, Jerry actually had the audacity to indicate that he wanted to eat them! Excuse me? Are they actually condoning murder? Did it not occur to them that when a bunch of children suddenly go missing, there will be a search and big police hunt for them? Did it not occur to them that they will obviously first check the last place (the Russo residence) that the girls were known to be? Idiotic!There have been numerous occasions in which they have actually killed someone or something, but because they usually do it in some stupid cutesy way with spell like turning them into stone and breaking it, or shrinking them and stomping on them, etc. it is somehow considered acceptable and a non-issue that they just took a life.

    Every episode was a good one. Selena Gomez gets the lead from the start. The father has given up his wizardly powers to marry a mortal. The parents have three kids and all three have wizard potential. They are training for the competition where only one of them can become the family wizard. The other two will become powerless magically. The whole series revolves around this competition with , at times, unexpected results. Selena Gomez plays Alex a very not by the book middle sibling. She is always doing things to get in trouble but down deep she is a caring teen, at least as much as they can be:) The side kick is a mortal who does find out about the wizardry and accepts it. While this series is rated for young people I found to be very funny and well written.

    I just watched an episode of Wizards of Waverly Place, I can't believe this garbage is on TV, I wasn't surprised to learn that Disney is behind this monstrosity! Bad acting, spoilt brats, and I would love to see this show air without the laugh track, that would be fun to watch. Without the laugh track,it would make most kids, who actually like this, wonder what is so funny about it! I just don't get it, the cast must have family who pulled strings to get them on a show, even if it sucks! The same goes with "Hanna Montana", unbelievably bad acting and totally NOT funny! Miley Cyrus has got to be the worst actor in the show, thank God her dad was famous, because she would have never made it on TV, or anywhere! Disney has some of the worst actors on TV! Wizards of Waverly Place, Rating; BAD!

    I started watching this last year as I got the Disney Channel last year and this was on so I decided to check it out.I actually liked this show as it centres on a family who are wizards. Alex(Selena Gomez who looks great in this) is the youngest who has two brothers(Jake T Austin & David Henrie who is the splitting image of Patrick Dempsey when he was younger in the 80s)and they live in NYC Manhattan. Alex's father is a wizard while her Puerto Rico mother isn't a wizard she is a mortal.Funny ,and smart wizards of Waverly place is the new teen supernatural version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch which was based on a young witch.Anyway if you like fantasy stuff that have vampires,fairies,wizards etc then you will enjoy this.I'll give it an 8/10
