Wonderfalls (2004)
you should see it, but...
The first of three disks was wonderful. Offbeat and quirky, Caroline Dhavernas seems perfect for this role. I loved it. But, starting with disk two, the episodes become more and more bizarre. Also, Jay'e anger and hostility do not have any underlying foundation, so we don't know what is driving her. I pretty much gave up on the series at the little kid and the Russian mail-order bride. Just too weird. (I did watch all 3 disks because I bought the series).
The original idea for the series was pretty interesting-talking stuffed animals-but the writers just could not develop any coherent plot. In fact, there is no plot-the same characters pretty much start from square one each episode, which leaves the series with nowhere to go. I encourage others to watch, because it is one of a kind. And I love Caroline Dhavernas.
Slaughter of the Innocents (1993)
stupid beyond belief
there is not a single thing about this movie that is believable. More plot holes than you can count. Scott Glenn is somewhat miscast as an FBI agent. Plus, the do-good mentality of the movie is somewhat a put-off. Finally, the female character, Lamar, is very odd. She does not dress like any federal agent has ever dressed, except perhaps at Holloween. Some weird clown-tie and overcoat getup. Whose idea was that? Beyond stupid. This was filmed in 1994. computers of that day could barely turn on, much less do what this movie shows. It is interesting to compare this to Crimminal Minds. Still, it is a one of a kind movie, and so should be seen just for that.
