I got sick of all the people complaining about how "boring" this show is, so I decided to comment myself. The Moment of Truth is a funny and exciting new reality series. Especially compared to all the other crap that's on *cough* American Idol, Survivor *cough* I love watching the contestants sweat when they get to a tough question, and their faces when they get caught in a lie. It also shows how much people are willing to do for money. Yeah, they might make it to $500,000 (which is going to get taxed down to crap) but at what cost? It's also a great opportunity for the nosy people of American to stick their nose in other peoples lives and business, and find out all their dirty little secrets. And if we didn't like stuff like that, Desperate Housewives never would have made it. The only bad parts of the show are the frequent commercial breaks and silly dramatic pauses. However, the hilarity of it all more than makes up for it.

The Moment of Truth is a great guilty pleasure.

An American Haunting is based on the true story of the "Bell Witch" haunting, the only time in recorded US history of a poltergeist committing murder. The film that results is one of the many plausible explanations of those events. In the movie John Bell (played by Donald Sutherland) upsets a fellow church member by charging her too much interest on his land. The woman is rumored to be a witch and before they part she warns that great evil will befall him and his precious daughter Betsy (Rachel Hurd-Wood). A few nights later the Bell's hear scratching on the roof, and a great black wolf attacks Mr. Bell and the spirit begins to beat young Betsy Ann and pull her hair. John and his wife Lucy (Sissy Spacek) can only watch helplessly as their daughter is tormented by the evil spirit. But things aren't what they seem and by flashbacks to 1800's Tennesee the truth is exposed and the real criminal is revealed. This is an amazing movie, though not always understood by some, especially those who go hoping to see a pointless "Stay Alive" horror movie. An American Haunting is a drama, with real depth, meaning, and human emotion.
