    What a great new show (and in 16:9 widescreen, first for you guys at Current). Inspires me to post a webcam review of Watchmen, after I watch it...

    This show is AWESOME!! I am so glad that I get to see more of Brett, and his co-host is pretty hot too, she seems like a perfect match for Brett. I look forward to watching more of this show in the future!

    ok, live action video versions of video games and manga should stop, but for a great video game movie, look no further than Final Fantasy: Advent Children. Even Resident Evil: Degeneration wasnt bad. Looks like CG video game movies are the only ones that do well.

    I felt like the topless Aussie gave the movie a degree of verisimilitude. I mean, how do you think those people obtained their renown mastery of wild beasts? In fact Dundee's thumb and pinkie sedation of the water buffalo was just a rough approximation of wobbling nipples.

    anyway, keep up the killer work Brett. You too Ellen.

    OK, upon seeing the top 5, I see two possible reasons they are from decades ago: movies where better in the past, or critics where not flaw-spotting freaks back then. I vote for the last one.

    Overall, I thought it was pretty funny. Though honestly, I would've rather just watched Brett.

    Mildly funny. I hope this isnt replacing VVFS. Nothing will ever be as hilarious.

    Wow .... I feel like I'm sitting around on a bong water stained sofa with my over educated film student friends who unfortunately can't actually get work in the film industry. I did watch the whole think and even laughed a couple of times ... I guess that says a something. But let's do a few more reviews like the ones you gave for The Conversation and The Manchurian Candidate. You know, talk about film like you actually like film and aren't soooo above it all.

    I was mildly disappointed. The whole show felt stilted, and I have never seen Brett be less funny. Still, he was hilarious, though Ellen detracts from his irreverence.
    The show is still looking for its own character, as it takes Infomania's style without the smooth efficiency of Conor. The future of this show should change.
    It is like watching the Phoenix Suns without Steve Nash- the most dynamic member is placed somewhere where his extraordinary talent is wasted. Let Brett roam free, without the tacky graphics and forced co-hostmanship.

    wow.
    Just when i thought Brett Erlich could make anything awesome...
    ... i saw this show.

    Current, you had a good thing going with the 3 minute movie reviews from viewers. they were raw, they were insightful, hilarious, BRilliantly edited and most of the time totally dead on.

    so what the heck is this... garbage?

    It’s a show that claims to keep the same chemistry, (videos of people + movies = funny) but fails MISERably.

    Yes it is a review show, and yes there are clips of people talking to their computers. But some how, out of the infinite number of internet videos out there, none of the reviews they've discovered seem to be funny.

    It falls into that same old boring pattern that has been beaten to death by regular tv. They show 4 seconds of clip, after which the review is completely dominated by the host... which is only barely tolerable when that host is Brett.

    Let me just say this about your hostess, Ellen Fox. If you had told me there was a person who could make Brett Erlich not funny just by being in the same room as him, I wouldn't have believed it. There aren't WORDS to describe the chemistry between these two. Its like ...negative chemistry. It's anti-chemistry.

    Where in gods name did you find this woman? She's not fresh or hip, talks in that obnoxious tv voice, and seems to have nothing intelligent or funny to say. Yet some how, she keeps... TALKING.

    While discussing "Street Fighter", she openly admitted to knowing nothing about Street Fighter before spewing into a worthless monologue about what the lead actress brought to the film. If she has no legitimate opinions about Street Fighter... then why is she on the show talking about Street Fighter?

    Constant, cheesy little annoying tomato graphics (in case you forgot within the first five minutes that you're watching a show with the word "tomato" in the title), an annoying host, all flashing around and distracting you from the fact that none of the things they have to say about these films are in any way entertaining.

    You basically took everything annoying about regular tv and some how managed to cram it into one half hour.

    Current, I don’t know what happened on this one... but its just not you.

    fix it, or ditch it.

    im kinda dissapointed, i agree with squiteeth, CURRENT LOWDOWN was awesome!
    in that show the reviews were truly funny.
    this one felt just weird, i honestly wanted to like the show but i dont know what happened, im sorry but please just leave the reviews to the viewers, when brett or ellen appear something is off.

    Personally, I wouldn't judge this on the first episode.
    I'm waiting a while to see if this show can get a swagger.
