Title: Sunshine & Prison break Post by: nirvana on October 23, 2007, 11:17:20 AM Just watched 'Sunshine' on a flight to the US.
Has anyone else seen it. It seemed an interesting premise but then it just seemed to descend into total plop. Maybe cause I was tired and kept dozing off I missed how good it was. Interested in opinions so I can decide whether to try again on the way back. Also, have never watched prison break before so watched the pilot episode - really liked it but does the whole series and follow up series' take place in just one location ? Does the guy go from prison to prison breaking out ? Can't work on flights so also watched the new Die hard movie - sort of alright but does every movie today throw in a lot of digital surveillance alongside 'free running' type themes -good fun anyway but dreaming of doing a reworking of a Shakespeare where Caesar got himself some damn fine bins and earpieces and chases the thin men all over the shop in a massively athletic way despite a huge limp and a few of them unkindest cuts Bed !

Does the guy go from prison to prison breaking out ? The first series is almost all in the one location.I found it excellent The second series, "on the run" so to speak, is relatively disappointing Title: Re: Sunshine & Prison break Post by: Graham C on October 23, 2007, 11:50:37 AM Disappointing? I thought it was excellent. All the dodging and escaping from the bad guys, near misses and close calls. Don't want to spoil anything, but I thought it was great stuff.

30 Days of night was ok Title: Re: Sunshine & Prison break Post by: Wardonkey on October 23, 2007, 05:23:27 PM I went to see Sunshine at the cinema when it came out. It got great reviews but I was disappointed, it didn't offer anything new to the genre apart from some impressive special effects. The plot and characters were weak and none of the actors impressed.

Prison Break, as everyone else has said has never lived up to the first series which was a good new premise for a TV show. Best show on TV though? Not imho - that would go to The Shield, although Dexter is a good show if you haven't caught it yet. |
