Ocean’s Twelve (2004)

That Danny Ocean (George Clooney). He’s smart enough to fool a ruthless casino owner Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), but he cannot hide from him too long. So the gang is back, and with Terry on their tail, they have no choice but to get back to stealing expensive things in elaborate ways. The entire cast [...]

National Treasure (2004)

So I went to see National Treasure today. Why so late – two weeks after it opened? No, my decision had nothing to do with the fact the movie stayed on top of the box office for 2 straight weekends (and possibly will stick around a bit more). I really wanted to see this flick [...]

Everybody Loves Raymond – nobody loves his women

I am still seething from Monday’s episode. Yes, while the rest of the civilized world was watching NFL, and suddenly got a glimpse of women’s breasts (and while we’re on this topic – how long are we going to keep witnessing wardrobe malfunctions that are nothing but awkward ploys to promote shows?), I tuned in [...]

Arrested Development – Sundays on FOX

For those who don’t know about the show yet, I’m quoting FOX website: “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT revolves around MICHAEL BLUTH (Jason Bateman), a widower who wants nothing more than to be a good father to his 13-year-old son GEORGE MICHAEL (Michael Cera). So after being passed over as partner at The Bluth Development Co., Michael resolves [...]

Tough Crowd – last show tonite

At this point it makes no sense to review or promote this show (I wanted to do it for a long time, but since it’s not on regular networks, and it’s pretty crude, I avoided it). The show is canceled. Colin Quinn and his guys are saying so long. But oh how I wish they [...]

The Triplets of Belleville (2003)

Here’s the best animated film of 2003, which wasn’t even noticed in theaters. Only after a few positive mentions at some film festival, this cartoon got its second life. Now it’s out on DVD, and I absolutely must have it. What a joy it was coming out of a half-empty theater back in the winter [...]

NBC 2004-2005 show lineup

So it begins. The networks are slowly announcing their upcoming fall lineup, and testing the waters. Here’s our first, NBC – the network that’s been plagued by terrible choices, bad scheduling, and plummeting ratings. Still, do you think NBC’s fall 2004 schedule is worth it? Take a look. LAX 10/9pm Mondays Television favorites Heather Locklear [...]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Jim Carrey in yet another serious role? Kirsten Dunst in a dramatic turn? A film with no specific narrative, and no standard timeline? You probably think that it’s one of those “art” movies that are going to go over your head, have all the critics salivate for a few months, get a few awards and [...]

Miserable Sex and the City

OK, I admit it. I was one of those gals that went to a series-finale-of-Sex-and-the-City party. There were lots of single gals there, who loved the show. And we drank lots cosmopolitan martinis, tried to talk frankly about sex, and tried to wear the funkiest things we had in our closets. Needless to say, I [...]

Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason (2004)

If I could sum it up in one comment, I can say that it’s not a ‘reasonable’ movie. This sequel to the first Bridget Jones is, for the most part, a re-hash of the original Bridget formula but made to look different. Those who saw Bridget Jones’ Diary can easily spot the similarities between the [...]
