More from me on TV/Movies:
The Replacements:
The mid-season hopefuls have been dominated by reality shows. Big surprise there. Here's my 2 million cents.
Celebrity Mole 2 - Ahmad Rashad hosts, players include Dennis Rodman, Stephen Baldwin and Angie Everhart. Wednesdays, 10 pm ET on ABC. I think Dennis is the mole. I could be wrong but I can't force myself to care much less watch.
American Idol 3 - Simon, Paula and Randy return with thousands of new hopefuls most of them vacuous and untalented. Tuesdays at 8pm ET on FOX. I'll tune in occasionally when I'm in need of a migraine and an excuse to call in sick the next day.
Survivor: All-StarsPast winners and cast-aways return including Richard, Hatch, Tina Wesson. Premieres after the Superbowl on CBS. I plan not to miss an episode.
Traffic - Cliff Curtis, Martin Donovan, Balthazar Getty, Elias Koteas, Mary McCormack and Nelson Lee (who the f--k are these people?). Jan 26th & 28th on USA. Mini-series based on the Academy Award winning film, Traffic. It looks at the underworld of illegal drug trafficking through the eyes of the main people involved. Sounds promising.
The Apprentice - Donald Trump (oy vey!).Wednesdays at 9pm ET (repeats Thursdays at 8:30 pm ET) on NBC. Watching Donald Trump make a bunch of self-obsessed yuppies run through hoops is fun fun fun. Must-see? May be.
Available on DVD:
Ravenous ☻☻
This movie gives the phrase "The Other White Meat" new meaning. Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle star in this dark tale about cannibalism and the power and hunger that comes from the tasting of human flesh. The movie is at times serious and then at others absolutely nutty. I'm not quite sure what the producers or director was going for but the movie misses the mark simply because it tries too hard to be dark and ominous, provocative and funny all at the same time. I think they were going for devilishly delicious but ended up with stale and bland. I don't say this often (in fact I've never said this before) but David Arquette was totally under-utilized in this movie. My greatest wish is that they would have given the Native Americans in the film a chunkier role. They just seemed to be around to get eaten or to explain the superstition. Save your money, unless you want to see Neal McDonough bare-chested.
Anger Management ☻☻
Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler locked in a movie together - hilarity ensues. Alot of the jokes are over-the-top and the plot is so contrived and unreasonable but you'll find lots of things to chuckle about in this gross capitalization of both the Jack Nicholson crazy-like-a-fox persona and the Adam Sandler angry-but-sweet stereotype. Liked it. Didn't love it.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ☻☻☻a 87;☻
A MUST-SEE! A TOUR DE FORCE!! AWESOME!! IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!! THE DVD OF THE YEAR!! NOTHING COMES CLOSE!! GET OFF YOUR FAT ASS AND RENT IT!! HIDE YOUR DAUGHTERS - VIGGO MORTENSON AND ORLANDO BLOOM ARE ABOUT TO STEAL THEIR HEARTS!! I figured that was enough clichés for one day, but you get my point. It's viggo-licious and mmm mmm good to the last frame. I watched the 40+ minutes of additional scenes including Sean Bean who was cut from the theatrical release and almost wet my knickers in excitement. I loved the actors' commentary the best. In fact I plan to watch the DVD again as soon as I have a weekend available. I cannot say enough about Sir Ian McEllen or Andy Serkis (Gollum). Brilliant!! My only pet-peeve is the addition of Liv Tyler's Arwen, I huge departure from the book but no matter. THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!! BETTER THAN CRACK!!!WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION!! TRADE YOUR SPOUSE/CHIDLREN IN FOR....
Narc ☻☻☻
Jason Patric and Ray Liotta star in this dark and edgy cop drama. I have always loved Ray Liotta and he packed on quite a few pounds to play this sometimes unlikable detective investigating the deaths of one of his fallen comrades. He is paired up with Jason Patric, a failed undercover narcotics agent given a second chance. It's gritty and disturbing and the ending left me a bit uneasy and unsatisfied. Definitely worth a look.
Identity ☻☻☻
This is a well-written psychological drama with a cool concept and an equally cool ensemble cast. Stars John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet, Jake Busey and Clea Duvall. It is definitely worth a look and I highly suggest that you do not watch it with friends that like to chat during movies. I took the time to rewatch the movie with the director's commentary and I loved it.
