In the early days of cable, long before CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM , there was BIZARRE . BIZARRE was a sketch comedy show that aired on Showtime from 1980 to 1985. Made in Canada, the show starred John Byner. Each episode was made up of various sketches. This was broad humor, closer to Benny Hill than Saturday Night Live. What the show was best know for was it being R-rated. There was frequent nudity, which...

Our Netflix film tonight was OUT OF SIGHT, an interesting look at the attraction between a genial bank robber (George Clooney) and a gutsy, self-possessed federal marshal (Jennifer Lopez). I'd heard good things about the film and found it quite enjoyable, if improbable. Clooney plays a smooth operator who is a variation on his later Danny Ocean character, and the appealing Lopez shows she could have...

While some are suggesting this is a remake of Defending Your Life, the Albert Brooks written , directed and starring film, although to me it sounds like it owes more to A Matter of Life and Death from 1946 starring David Niven. However the story of Ten Best Days of My Life has something a little different to it and portrays the afterlife a bit like a company with a hierarchy and a promotional system....

I read a fair number of scripts. Not as many as perhaps I should-- I tend to read them in bursts-- but I've probably read a hundred movie scripts this year and about the same number of TV scripts. Most...

We live in a time when war movies based on toys ( Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen , G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra ) are better received by the public than those that have a basis in truth ( The Hurt Locker ). G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra , out on DVD and Blu-ray today, dances around its origins as military action figures by positioning its heroes as an elite unit, more like well-armed spies than...

Lots of readers, perhaps gleening where this conversation was heading anyway, have already started sending me nominations for the worst remakes (note: Not the same as the worst sequels , for that conversation begins and ends with Caddyshack II). One reader suggests the remake of the Andromeda Strain, which I discussed here . Another makes a strong case for the remake of the In-Laws (the original is...

Even though I no longer watch it, I’ve liked THE SIMPSONS since it began as shorts on THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW. I remember seeing those and thinking, “To hell with this annoying Brit — these cartoon characters deserve their own show.” When it happened a few years later, I thought I should be a network [...]

From Ace of Spades comes this clip (above) of MS-NBC making a real-time “correction” based on an e-mail from the White House. Upon watching it, my immediate thought was of the scene in “Broadcast News” where Albert Brooks (the brainy but uncharismatic journalist) is feeding background information for a breaking crisis to William Hurt (the handsome [...]
