ShangLuda Admirable film.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

capone666 Series 7: The Contenders The best part of watching people kill each other on TV is betting on who the winner will be.By the way, the returning champ in this dark comedy is not a sure bet.If Dawn (Brooke Smith) survives the next round of the kill-or-be-killed reality show The Contenders, her and her unborn baby will go free.However, included in the other 5 random contestants is Dawn's ailing ex-boyfriend (Glenn Fitzgerald) who wants her to be the one who terminates him.Meanwhile, the other contestants accumulate weapons and begin stalking the title-holder.Things get worse when Dawn goes into labor.Narrated by Will Arnett, this 2001 satire of the-then fledgling genre is told entirely through reality camera lens - a method that can be comical and constrictive on the narrative.Fortunately, the violence and soundtrack help round the edges.Incidentally, if contestants sang while killing, this show would be even bigger.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

charlie lafferty Series 7 is what I'd like to call a "thrilledy" or a comedy/thriller. It's a movie about a fictional reality television show called "The Contenders" that takes six people and forces them to fight to the death. Five of the contenders are newly, randomly chosen people who are pulled from a "lottery." They are handed a gun as a way of welcoming them into the show. The sixth contender is the winner from the previous season of the show. It is the Hunger Games before the Hunger Games even existed. Although the contenders aren't necessarily children, young people are not ruled out of the lottery. For instance, one of the contenders in the show is a 17 year old girl. The movie goes from being darkly hilarious to just plain dark as the show's contests show no mercy in killing the other one, no matter who they are.Shot mockumentary style, the movie is very fun and constantly keeps the audience on the edge of their seat; there's no telling what's going to happen next, who's going to die, or who's going to eventually come out on top. Although the ending is a little lackluster, overall the movie is very worthwhile. There's also a cameo by Will Arnett before he was Will Arnett! (And all I really mean by this is before he was famous). Hilarious and dark, Series 7 is not only a great movie, but its also a very interesting look at human beings and what we call entertainment.

mithnar Wow.If you can "suspend reality" well enough to wade through the goth/punk/Emo overtones then enjoy.This has been described as "action & adventure, Dark Comedy and Thriller". This is what happens when a posturing art/film goth punk with delusions of talent is given backing. "A mewling abomination" is the politest thing I can say about it.This movie is NOT a satire, dark comedy or any other posturing garbage that is spewed. I'd love to take any of the idiots responsible for this atrocity out into the real world for 2 weeks and give them a grand tour of the real world just to open their eyes but I don't think they'd learn.

thekarmicnomad What this film has going for it (opposed to most low budget movies)is the people involved seemed to actually give a damn about it.The cast is superb, the camera work and lighting is way above what I expected, the writing superb and the sick parody of existing realty shows is outstanding. In short: totally watchable A large portion of the movie is made up interviews from the contestants (the bits I normally fast forward on real reality shows) but they are well acted, superbly scripted and totally engaging.The production team hasn't tried to over-extend itself and makes skillful use of pre-shot footage and the cut sequence graphics are simple but clean.It reminds me of the UK Office in that a lot of the acting is very subtle, characters faces are calm masks but their hands (just visible edge of shot) tremble with anxiety.Don't expect slow motion, explosions, CGI or bullet-time. The action is thin but when it comes it is gritty and exhilarating.One note about the one star reviews: I must admit I would not have been impressed if I had paid to this at the cinema and not seen it free on TV.
