JUDGEMENT!: No Ordinary Family

Welcome to yet another installment of JUDGEMENT! From your baby’s daddy Dante. I may not have the writing skills of your White Shadow Alex Hluch but damn it, I am good at bitching. On the previous episodes of The DNA Show I have spent time complaining about this show No Ordinary Family on ABC. This show has suffered from the same problem many other super hero based television shows have but in record time. Too many people with powers.

The show starts with this family that doesn’t seem to get along all that well. Everyone in the house is distant or in a hurry to get away from each other. While on a trip in a bionic ass storm they crash land into the sea and everyone survives but the pilot. They arrive home and everything is business as usual.

JUDGEMENT!: Let Me In

Hey DNA-ers!  (Man, I gotta work on that)  This is Alex with another review of Hollywood's recent offerings.  This particular review is of Matt Reeves' remake, Let Me In.  Enjoy?  Enjoy!

Despite the fact that I am an unabashed opponent of 90% of all remakes done in cinema, there is occasionally an actual, valid excuse for producing one.  Whether time has lapsed and a story of yesteryear feels as though it can benefit from being reincarnated in the present pop-culture landscape (Ocean’s Eleven), or a director has been saving a passion project for years that he feels can only be served best by his own, personal spin on the tale (The Fly), there are reasonable means for endeavoring a remake of a production.  Unfortunately, Let Me In does not contain a single one of them. 

JUDGEMENT!: The Expendables, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Machete

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

This was a film based in Toronto (Canada not California) and directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) who is an awesome director. It stars Michael Cera (Superbad, Juno) as Scott Pilgrim, a guy who plays in a band called Sex Bob-Omb. He falls for a chick named Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) after she passes through one of his dreams. She can do it because she is American and they don’t do this in Canada.

The Dante & Alex Show Episode 2

In this heavily superhero themed episode Dante and Alex discuss No Ordinary Family and how it fails on so many levels, the cursed Transformers 3 set, the upcoming Spiderman film, Emma Stone, the re-re-re-re-release of Star Wars in 3D, whether or not 3D is bankable or not, debating George Lucas’ credibility as a film maker, the latest news on The Avengers movie, Batman, who we would cast as villains, Mark Ruffalo as the new Hulk, Joss Whedon and his movie credits. Remember, sharing is caring. So if you like the show click here to download this and older shows.

JUDGEMENT!: The Social Network

Hey gang!  And by gang I mean the two people who accidentally stumble across our page a day!  It's your friendly-neighborhood Alex here with a new component that I hope to bring to The DNA Show.  Along with our podcasts in which Dante and I cover multitudes of pop culture all in a handy-dandy audio format, I'm also going to be posting in-depth written critiques of current entertainment endeavors.  First off, I'd like to start off our adventures on this site with David Fincher's The Social Network.  These posts will also be uploaded on my personal website, Shwayblog, so feel free to drop by either or and gives me the traffics! <3

The Dante & Alex Show Episode 1

In our inaugural show we discuss the latest films such as Social Network and Let Me In. We also debate what merits being remade and how long studios should wait until a movie is remade. Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and the latest fall shows (including the ones being canceled) are talked about. In our Classics section American Psycho is praised for its lunacy while The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's sequels are skewered. Whether John Lennon and many other dead musicians should be praised as saints is also gone over in our first (hopefully of many) new DNA Shows!
