Movie and TV Series Reviews
A movie and a TV series.
I don't think I've ever been more shocked and chilled by a film than I was last night by 'Madeinusa'.
No horror film I have ever seen matched this one. Okay, maybe 'The Lottery'. I was fully sucked in, thinking it would be a sweet love story between a repressed Peruvian village girl and the handsome stranger she meets when he is trapped in the village by flooding on the main road while he is passing through.
Seriously, I have no words. Read this:

*shudders*
On the other hand, yesterday I finished watching the British TV series, "Life On Mars", only 16 episodes in all, over the span of two seasons. What a delightful, uplifting series it was, with its 'strange' beginning, supernatural aura, yet completely compelling storyline and loveable characters. I'm in love with the show and its characters, and felt sad when it ended. But at least it had the best possible ending.

Apparently there was an American remake, but I don't think it was as well received as the British one.
I actually recommend both highly, even though 'Madeinusa' shocked me out of my shoes. But I still consider it well worth watching, as a horror film for sure.
