Biker Boyz (2003)
dire
This film is bad- bad idea, bad script, bad acting. What the hell was Larry Fishburne thinking when he agreed to do it? Please don't watch this unless you're really, really bored.It wanted to be The Fast and the Furious on motorbikes, but TFATF realised that a film about street racing needs more than just the races; there's not much excitement in a "whose bike is the fastest?" race. So I guess it's meant to be a film about trying to be accepted, or proving yourself, or something, but to be honest I didn't care about any of the characters or what the hell they did. TFATF has undercover cops, various criminal activities, and reasonably interesting characters; Biker Boyz doesn't.
Firefly (2002)
a great show let down by stupid people
it's a shame that a great show like this gets cancelled because it's not dumb enough to appeal to the mainstream straight away.
if only more shows were made for the sake of telling great stories; for art's sake, rather than purely for monetary gain.
This show will be sorely missed, and its cancellation is damning evidence against whoever pulled the plug.
It's hard to imagine that the people in charge didn't realize that a series by Joss Whedon would be sci-fi/ fantasy but still be smart, entertaining, and often deal with issues common to real life. But then, I guess we shouldn't expect too much from TV executives by now.
