Here in the UK, Torchwood is universally reviled and mocked. Mere words cannot suffice to describe its badness. Varying opinions? Here in the UK, Torchwood is universally reviled and mocked.

Never watched it until the recent incarnation and am hooked! I heard varying opinions of Torchwood though... I second everything Patricia said about Doctor Who.

Fantastic writing and acting, great storylines, etc. It really is up your alley. And Torchwood is fantastic as well, albeit a bit more dark and adult in tone.

This will sell like gangbusters on DVD for sure. Must avoid? Perhaps... WHOA Heath Ledger died?!?1 Game Plan was a big hit for Disney though, and I believe it’s also The Rock’s biggest hit as well.

No thank you !! Mr. Dwayne Johnson is testing the waters of how many stupid kid's films he can do and still remain cool. We give him one more shot after this- and then he's a write-off. Saw IV - you'll enjoy if you liked the first 3 of them. This is more Jigsaw's backstory than anything else, as he did die in the last film - and yes, is still dead. Sadly, they decide to add a new Jigsaw to the mix -and it's really nobody interesting at all. As for Torchwood .. while I do love the new millenium's version of the Doctor Who series ... this series is amazing in it's own right, no prior "Who"-devotion is needed. Imagine X-Files meets CSI meets Doctor WHo - add a whole bunch of sex, violence and great writing - and you have Torchwood. I can't recommend this series enough. The Rock and kids ??? No thank you !!

I barely remember seeing any trailers on TV for its theatrical release. I was amazed that The Game Plan had already hit DVD. I barely remember seeing any trailers on TV for its theatrical release.
