Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

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

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Hannah Wilhelm I've tried to watch this show several times and I just can't get into it because I can't get past how stupid and shallow it is. They take one hunk and put him in a house with a bunch of hot girls and eliminate them to find his "true love"? Honestly? Anyone who thinks that could ever have potential of working is extremely naive. He leads on as many as 28 girls for weeks, kisses them, hugs them, tells them how he "feels" about them and treats all of them like his girlfriend only to dump one each week? What would we think about a guy who did this in real life? He doesn't have genuine feelings for any of them, he's horny. What would we say about him in real life? But because it's a reality show and the guy is "hot" it's okay? Not to mention how every girl is beautiful. It's ridiculous. Does he have sex with all of them too? Because if so... Puke. Everyone talks about this show and I can't understand why for the life of me. I don't get the hype about a guy living in a house of hot girls who he gets to take his pick of and jump back and forth between whenever, not to mention lead all of them on and probably screws them simultaneously. This is the single stupidest, shallowest sluttiest show on TV. Except maybe the bachelorette.

hyper-nike05 Sitting down to watch the 14th season of the Bachelor ("On the Wings of Love"), I knew I would be in for an "interesting" time. I had watched some of the previous seasons of the Bachelor in passing; watching an episode or two and missing the next three or so. I find that the Bachelor is often appealing and intriguing, though its quality and morality are often lacking."On the Wings of Love" details the journey taken by Jake, a 31 year old commercial pilot from Dallas, Texas, to find true love, as true a love as one can find in a season-long reality-drama dating show. Jake meets 25 beautiful girls from all over the country. He begins to get to know them a bit, but it is mostly superficial; how well can you get to know someone in a few 5 minute conversations? Jake tries to make his true intentions known from the very beginning, at least to the audience. He noted that he doesn't just want love or a good time, but he wants a fiancé or wife. We can only assume that he has made this clear to the women in the competition as well. If that is the case, it might explain, to a degree, some of the women's actions. The women are super competitive. While they don't even know Jake at all yet, they are still in it to win it no matter what the cost.Not only were the women competitive, but they were also confident and catty. Threats, backstabbing, and warnings of "Watch out!" all show that these women weren't there for a good time either. Jake noted that he was not just looking for sex appeal, but looking for "a connection." However, the girls pulled out all the stops to try to impress Jake with said sex appeal. They arrived at the mansion in skimpy dresses – either low-cut or short.While some girls seemed to maintain their sense of decorum, others missed that memo altogether. One girl, Channy, noted that Jake was a "good guy" to whom she could be a "naughty girl." She went on to say that Jake could land on her "runway anytime." She got flack from the other girls for her provocative statement which showed their take on these situations.So, a reality dating show couldn't be that bad, could it? Besides the obvious issue of sex-driven attraction, there are other issues that mar this seemingly harmless show. Is this the right way to find a future mate; vying for someone's attention by flaunting oneself to extreme proportions? Unfortunately, however, that is what America has reduced dating to these days: pleasure and sex without commitment and a little happiness on the side.Another problem is the premature emotional attachment by which many of the girls bound themselves to Jake. A few girls in particular seemed to be overly attached. One girl said "If I don't get that first impression rose it will kill me!" As mentioned before, they don't even know him yet and she was talking about a specific rose, not just one of the 15 roses to keep from being eliminated.Michelle, in particular, seemed to have some issues with attachment to Jake. The other girls noticed it too. After one particular Michelle outburst, Vienna asserted that Michelle had a "mental breakdown and we've only been here an hour." Michelle got the last rose of the evening on the first show – narrowly missing elimination – and was extremely emotional about it. The other girls thought it was simply ridiculous. Another girl also cried, but because she was eliminated.It began with Survivor, and from there it just took off – reality TV. It shows our entertainment interests as a country; if we weren't watching the shows and giving them good ratings, the networks would not continue to run them. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that enough of America is hooked. One thing is clear: America (in general) loves reality TV and its ensuing trappings.This begs me to question: why is it that we even like reality TV? What is it about it that draws us to it? Is it because we see the similarities to our own lives, or is it because we want to be sure that we are more stable and less pathetic than others? Whatever it is that draws us to it, we should be careful of the media and entertainment that we allow to fill our minds. I'm not saying that all reality TV shows are bad; however, I am saying that we need to evaluate each one.Episodes used for critique: Season Premier and Episode 2.

Randy Coates Reality TV was probably invented by the communists, that's how evil reality TV is. Is there anything more FAKE on TV today than the bachelors who are "looking for real love" and the pathetic, desperate women who flock to the show, also pretending they're after true love and not just some fact time on TV? This show sucks. That's really all I have to say but I need ten lines. So, anyway, the bachelors and women they end up picking (they give them romantic red roses it's so sweet and real!) never ever stay together, obviously, but what gets me is this "news" is always in the tabloids as if someone in the world 1) cares about it and 2) is actually going to be surprised that these desperate TV star wannabes didn't actually stay together once the cameras stopped rolling.Who watches this crap? Idiots?

Izzit249 I watched the latest series of the bachelor week by week but was out on the final night, where Nicole and (someone...?) were in the final two for Anthony's decision. The git's at BBC3 aren't showing any replays which stinks! Any1 know who won? I hope it was Nicole.This show had a classy sense to it this time round. At least some decent ho's...sorry, ladies inn-nit....!they are making me write at least ten lines for this post and am out of steam so you have to forgive me for rambling on a bit here. Am sure you can understand am just trying to make up space so I can submit this bloody thing......!
