Crash Course (2009)
Stupid Fun
This show is really stupid. It's Wipeout on Wheels and speed. It's demolition derby meets truth or dare. It's Top Gear meets Amateur Night. I loved it. It was fast paced and quirky. The challenges are potentially life threatening and there is a winner at the end of the show. Don't call it a reality show; it's a game show. The contestant pairs are siblings, roommates, couples, etc. The all immediately give you a reason to either like them or dislike them. The challenges start out simple, and become progressively longer and harder, as they should. Since a team gets eliminated after each challenge, the pace stays quick. The contestants are well protected with crash helmets and harnesses, but you get an over all feeling of mounting danger. It's just very cool, stupid fun. If you like motor sport that results in a lot of crashing about, this is for you.
Read It and Weep (2006)
Flat and uninteresting
Lately, Disney Channel Original Movies have been great. Not so with "Read it and Weep". The promos made it look good, but the movie itself was flat and uninteresting, not to mention a rehash of other teen-type movies, including "Harriet the Spy".
Danielle Panabaker was the one shining element. Her performance as alter-ego Is was fabulous. Is was truly evil and at one point in the movie, totally out of control. Danielle looked like she was enjoying tormenting her real-life sister's character.
The ending was happy, but the plot predictable. The one teen in our house left to take a phone call and missed the last 45 minutes. It didn't hold her interest either.
