Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
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.
Jenn Sorry for any spoilers! So we've watched two seasons so far, 1 & 2, and admittedly we watched them in a couple of days, but I'm not going to be watching season 3 for a couple of reasons, most noticeable in season 2. Firstly, the judging is bad, and not because I disagree with their choices necessarily, but because it is never clear what they're judging on. Take the steam punk challenge - To one contestant they're saying, you aren't meeting the challenge; to the next they're saying, I don't care that you didn't meet the challenge, this is a beautiful painting; and to the next they're saying, you met the challenge but it's too true to what we're asking and then voting her out on the strength of that. I really couldn't understand what they were choosing based on, unless it was the judges own tastes - and that's hardly reasonable. Secondly, bullying. I mean, how is making a judge laugh a reasonable challenge anyway, but then the winner did a mean, bullying cartoon of another contestant and that won. Really? Come on now. Not only should that contestant have been reprimanded rather than rewarded, the judge also succeeded in making himself despicable by condoning that behaviour. Way to create role models, hey. You just have to watch Face Off to see how good this show could be - and perhaps it's the contrast between the two shows that leaves me absolutely cold here.
alanahsouthan Spoiler alert! Okay so the concept and challenges within the show are spot on the show is so engaging and hooks you so quickly (I finished season 2 in a day). However I noticed LOTS of things that displeased me. Firstly it was extremely sexist Rachel (season 2) and mythica (season 1) were dragged along (not at all strong in the competition) and other males who had more potential were dumped over those two USELESS (my opinion) competitors. I believe this is due to the sexist nature of the show, watch closely they tend to favor women over men A lot (this is coming from a woman's perspective). Secondly the two winners both female I might add were nearly eliminated so many times from the show and both males who came runners up Dutch season 1 and Avi season 2 were never even in the bottom three. When Natalie won season 1 it was because of her creativity and Dutch lost so many challenges because he was too technical and not creative enough. Fair enough right....WRONG. Because Avi in the season 2 final was SOOO much more creative than lana even though she was more technical. They gave it to lana because of the technical. That would be all fine if they didn't contradict themselves. This show will do anything to not give the men the final prize and it's sickening. I could go more into depth but I only have 1000 words. My conclusion NOT WORTH WATCHING TOO MUCH BIAS
neo_lane The idea and concept the this show is stunning seeing some of these amazing artist preform incredible pieces can be awe inspiring at times. So throughout the show competitor are reminded over and over this is a competition you are her to win, some forget that and others stay hard and true. Since the judges keep reminding the cast this you would think they would keep to there word but they don't. Low and behold finishing the 1 season the artist whom I believed should've won who had pure talent was disqualified even after following everything asked of the last challenged and taking what was learned and told told of him to change in his art style and brought out a amazing piece of art, now understand that this artist was always at the top almost every challenge but the judges still rejected this artist in favor of an over a horrible artist who throughout the entire show was in last or almost dropped out and skated along by sheer dumb luck and puffy eyes and didn't even follow the last challenge requirements but put a "what I like" on the canvas. At the end of the day the Artist you showed true talent, dedication and Confidence was denied in favor of someone who kept saying "but I worked real hard" threw some puffy eyes on and throw in some BS emotions and OMG the Judges found there charity.
atlasmb Hosted by the beautiful Rebecca Romijn, "Skin Wars" is a competition show that pits body painting artists against each other in a series of challenges. Verdicts are delivered by a panel of judges.Each season, the producers try to throw more varied, more difficult, and more imaginative tasks at the artists. Such challenges can include camouflage work (where they attempt to make the model disappear into a background image), themed challenges (which can involve anything from super heroes to scenes from nature), or images inspired by the artists' own stories. I love this show because it really illustrates the incredible talents of these artists. Painting is difficult, in general, but painting on a curved, movable surface presents some specific, harder challenges.They also use different types of models. On one episode, they painted inspiring images on breast cancer survivors, which was very empowering and extremely beautiful.It's nice to have television shows that celebrate artistry and beauty. "Skin Wars" is one of the best.
