ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Jon Butler I've seen every episode of this show. I've seen it all. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Glee was the most incompetently run show this side of the 2000's. I've never seen a show fail so horribly on every level of production. The way this show is written is so insulting to the audience, it's the visual/auditory equivalent of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuck, and Ian Brennan making you eat dirt. This show claimed to be a voice for the underdog yet utilized almost every single Racial Stereotype in the book. The two Asian characters, while being unrelated, both have the last name Chang. The black girl is sassy, the gay kid is sassy and loves madonna, the Christian girl is secretly pregnat, the latina is fiery and has attitude, if you've heard your slightly racist uncle make jokes at the thanksgiving dinner table then you've seen glee. This show has the creativity of a middle school aged blogger just trying to be offensive. It's predictable in every step and unbearable in every musical number. Between this show and American Horror Story, I'm convinced Ryan Murphy is trying to destroy television from the inside, how else would you explain Gwyneth Paltrow making several guest appearances? The devil is winning, Ryan Murphy is gaining strength, and you'll all have to answer to Jesus when he asks you who let this No Talent Unoriginal Bore create Multiple Television Shows across multiple channels. May God have Mercy on your Soul.

Brunz Klunz It is disappointing how some catchy tunes are horrendously distorted by the 'queer' eye of the creators/producers. However, some good things: Matthew Morrison as Mr. Schuester is sympathetic, Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester is not hilarious but amusing stone cold coach, and Naya Rivera's Santana Lopez is sexy every time she stands for herself and for others.Unfortunate that Cory Monteith passed away during the peak of the show's success tormented by his demons. Yet, it is for so-called 'open-minded' people not concerned by quality. You cannot discuss with success, though.

subwmn As some who grew up in NY city limits, I would go see Broadway shows with my mom and grandma and love watching the Broadway segment of the Macys parade. I also saw the Rockettes at Radio City music hall. I am used to watching this and admiring people like them who put in hours of rehearsal and doing the same number a zillion times because they forgot a step or a speaking line. The public always sees the after product, not before and the strain it puts on the body.I said I would never watch it and caught a few minutes of a later episode and didn't understand. Now I started watching this with my step-son on Netflix and even though the show is set in hs, it reminds me of Broadway and hs plays,except there are competitions in it and bright scenery sets are needed.The people had to have some musical talent or dancing, not only being able to act, which is a good thing about having no-name actors. It has rivalry between teachers, set out to ruin the other, and is not only about hs kids and their relationships. I am up to season 2 now and would have liked to see Finn and Rachel marry in the last episode into the future or at least have graduated and do a final number at graduation. He was very supportive of Rachel from the beginning, even thought they were not dating at the time. He loved her for her ideas and being herself. I did not know who cory was or his character on glee, and to me it was, "he passed, it is a shame, let's move on" until I watched the show and found out he was really good at singing and drums. I liked his goofy, but cute character and respect him as a performer. It is too bad he could not or maybe did not want to stop using drugs.

J Ba I feel bad for this show. I really do. It got big fast and then didn't know what to do with itself. But the thing is, if it had stuck to its original idea, original goals of being progressive and positive, and about a stupid show choir full of outcasts, I think it would have come out of this a lot better. And I think it would have been popular but Hollywood has it in their head that shock value and s3x are the only way to get views. They underestimate viewers; we're willing to watch stuff like this only because we're starved for quality material. If quality is provided, shows like this would be dropped. But no one wants to leave that safety of rehashed story lines so I guess TV will continue to suck.
