SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Sleeper-Cell I love the original BBC Life on Mars. It is gritty and fun. I tried watching the American copy when it first came out and it just didn't work for me. One of the main interests of the original BBC version is Gene Hunt as played by P Glenister. Gene Hunt is a tough 70's cop who has no problem going Dirty Harry to get results. In the BBC version Hunt is much bigger and more physically imposing than Tyler. This forces Tyler to have to get on Hunt's good side and also to on occasion outwit him. And this is where it failed for me in the American version. The American Gene Hunt is smaller, much older and just looks like he can be cast aside easily. It also lacks the grittiness of the original. I didn't get through the first episode and as the series was cancelled mid season due to falling ratings it appears I wasn't the only one. Do yourself a favour and check out the BBC version.

izzo1701 I heavily enjoyed Sam Tyler's trip through 1973. FANTASTIC character acting by Michael Imperioli, and Harvey Keitel - a terrific cast all around. I was sad to see this fine series canceled after just one season, and with that said - the ending seems forced. I didn't quite care for the ending at all - I felt like it was an easy way out and rendered the previous 16 episodes rather meaningless. I was hoping for a more meaningful end than what was delivered by the writers, but HEY that's network television for you. They give you something really, really good, and then they pull the rug out from under you because it isn't consumed by the proverbial masses. In summation, great acting, perfect 1970's sets/surroundings, totally worth your time - give this show a viewing!

dolphingirl-ellen I am a A2 media student and for my coursework I am looking at the cross cultural difference between Britain and America through Life on Mars both the UK and the US versions. I have only watched the first episode of both versions but I was completely blown away by the UK one, it is smart and funny and keeps it audiences at the edge of their seats. It doesn't treat us like idiots it lets us form our own opinions about what is going in regards to who the killer is and then adds a huge twists, one even the characters didn't see coming. The casting in this is great and their is a fantastic relationship between Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt in it as well. The US version however is a complete let down. It is in my opinion a very poor imitation of the UK one. The script is virtually the same expect they have added an identical twin and several chases, one involving guns. I guess a guy using a baton stick to take down a suspect isn't exciting enough or dangerous enough for American audiences. Then you have the characters they do not in any way live up to the originals, the relationship between Hunt and Tyler is non existent in fact the guy playing Hunt isn't any good at all, he lacks something that made the British Gene Hunt a perfect character. all in all I think that the Americans should stop remaking British shows and just leave them how they are. The originals are brilliant and should not be messed with. No one Life on Mars US flopped!

chunkylover_34 I always get addicted to shows that get canceled. Normally I never rent or buy television series on DVD unless they truly interest me. The shows I have rented and/or bought on DVD have consisted of the following; Family Guy, Burn Notice, Black Donnleys, Brotherhood, and Life on Mars, it is a pretty bad track record. The only problem with the show is the series finally seemed a bit slapped together, otherwise I thought the show was brilliant. It had all the elements that I love in shows (police procedural, 70's style action, science fiction and yes a bit of romance) however, the show was hybrid enough that it worked well together. What is really gonna kill me is if I don't see the British version of the show.
