Alias (2001–2006)
10/10
A True Thrill Ride from Season 1 through Season 5
29 May 2009
From the very first episode to the series' final moment, 'Alias' never failed to keep me on the edge of my seat. Dramatic, funny, thrilling, action-packed and smart, it brings you through so many twists and turns that you may have to come up for air once in a while, but will undoubtedly find yourself diving in for more. Three years after its conclusion 'Alias' still remains my favorite show, thanks to a stellar cast, gripping score, intelligent writers and great production values; with the lovely Jennifer Garner being the glue that holds it all together, and of course, the brainchild behind it all, J.J. Abrams. Part James Bond, part Indiana Jones, Garner's Sydney Bristow is a hero for the ages. 'Alias' is at once epic, heart-warming, exciting, and ultimately unforgettable; a true gem in the history of serialized television.

A short, sweet escape from reality!
4 May 2007
I originally discovered this film while searching the IMDb boards for information about Autmun Reeser, an actress who I had recently become a fan of when watching her on Season 4 of 'The OC'. I was looking through her filmography and the title, 'Art Thief Musical!' definitely stood out to me. So I decided to check it out, and am I glad I did!! It is 20 minutes of pure fun, a creation of fantastic imagination. The cast did quite an admirable job, but it is the lovely Ms. Reeser who really captivates the audience and keeps them hooked. Her crystal clear voice is a truly powerful instrument (and she is not hard on the eyes either!) The songs are catchy (I was especially impressed by the final number) and the various locations are truly unique. Also extremely impressive was the sweeping camera work that flowed well with the musical score. I commend Linus Lau for creating a mini- masterpiece, proof that various genres can be successfully blended together to create a truly original work. 'Art Thief Musical!' is truly a hidden gem.
