LouHomey From my favorite movies..

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Darguz Which is, unfortunately, mostly what succeeds on TV these days. Shows such as Brimstone are just too intelligent, and go over the head of Average Joe TV Viewer (or Average Joe TV Executive). With all the proliferation and specialization of TV channels these days, maybe some day we can have an "Intelligent TV Channel" where shows like these can flourish and those too dim to "get it" can just remove it from their channel rotation.Black humor is under-appreciated, and intelligent black humor is just beyond too many people, unfortunately. And Brimstone was chock full of it. Add to that a completely original premise, some decent action, good acting and the wonderful, delicious Lori Petty (::melt::) and Brimstone was a real winner. Too bad the suits didn't "get it".Any TV producers out there reading this -- there's an idea for you. Create an "Intelligent TV Channel", and give us shows like this, or Max Headroom, Key West, Cupid, etc. You could even call it that, as a dig at the mindless drivel that pours off the screen most of the time.

Andy Steinberg This show was really quite amazing, I wonder if the moral majority had a hand in its premature cancellation, or if it was just too cerebral for most viewers like British series The Prisoner was. Brimstone had a very different take on the eternal war involving heaven, hell and earth. The Devil has no power on earth, so he sends a guy who's only been dead for 15 years, to hunt down 113 other dead people, some truly despicable, some just vengeful victims, some of whom have been dead for millenia and are way more powerful than Stone is, one of the oldest seems to be a shapeshifter and the Devil's lover! Destroying the eyes will send a damned soul back to hell, whether it's an escapee, the Devil, or a damned car (headlights). A trivia stab at Friday the 13th The Series maybe? I also like how Stone is covered with 113 tattoos of all the escaped damned souls, and when he returns one to hell the tattoo dissolving away hurts him physically, kinda like the pain of the absorbing another's Quickening in Highlander. How Stone wakes up every day with the same amount of money in his pocket, or another damned wakes up with a full flask of liquor, was a nice touch. And the Devil really seemed not powerful and not knowledgeable, like the escape of the 113 had never even been imagined before, this escapee roundup was something totally new in the Brimstone universe. Having 2 main characters named Ash and Stone, nice.

gunnm-1 After 5 years, it's amazing how this series will come into conversation when I talk to people about great shows that have been cancelled. Following in the tradition of shows like American Gothic, it seems that the networks shy away from shows that could be perceived as "smart" or "cerebral". The series had a great premise and although I've heard it said here that the series run would have been limited by the 113 souls Zeke Stone was to send back, this is not necessarily so... After all, one or two of the escapees could have proven more of a nemesis for Zeke than the others and extended the running life of the show.There are very few shows now that are smart and witty enough to stand this type of test of time though... Where you find yourself asking people, even to this day, if they remember it and the details of it are impressed on you enough that you can impart the plotline, premise and characters of the show to them. This is one show that should have never gotten the axe...

hassenpheffer Alas another very cool show bites the dust! For some reason Fox has a real bad habit of canceling shows with potential. 'Brimstone' offered a human element (albeit a dead 1), humor, goth and excitement. Granted, it wasn't the greatest show ever (yes the X-Files was better!) but it was much smarter and solid than most of its type. I write this as I am watching a re-run on the Sci-Fi Channel (god bless 'em) and reminding myself how much I enjoyed the short-lived series. The one thing I could never stand about the show: Lori Petty... God I hate her... ;) It's really great that so many people enjoyed it as much as I did (upon reading the other comments left). Execs should read these comments and others and then cancel shows accordingly... :D
