Richard Donner’s first feature post- Superman is a complete switcheroo — a small-scale character piece that delivers an impressive lineup of engaging actors. John Savage leads a ‘different’ ensemble of the walking wounded, that congregates at a neighborhood bar. Are friends the best therapy? The movie has a positive sports theme, and the way its characters overcome physical limits and psychological damage feels uplifting, never phony. Diana Scarwid earned an Oscar nomination, and the unappreciated Amy Wright is a heartbreaker in a strong, uncompromised role.

He wasn’t there for every episode but when he was his character was nothing short of funny. As Al’s sidekick and one of his best friend’s Griff was kind given the short end of the stick every now and again but he was also made to be one of the funniest and most pathetic characters on the show. As Bud said he actually painted his ankles to make people think he could afford socks. But when he was Al’s side Griff was undeniably hilarious. It takes a special kind of friend to be sent to death row by their buddies

(a.k.a Dirty Dan’s Women, Is the Father Black Enough, The Ace of Spades)
“Southern Revenge”
When Denise (Susan McCullough, in her only credited role) returns home to New Orleans with the news that she is pregnant and due to wed back in New York, her oldest brother Dan (James Ralston, The Terminator) is none too pleased, especially when the father and future husband is revealed to be African American. He is as racist as they come and he doesn’t care who knows about it! Fortunately for Denise, her slightly older brother Vance (Mickey Dolenz, The Monkees) is much more supportive. Not that it really matters as she and her fiancee are murdered back in New York by a Vietnam vet-cum-assassin (Patrick Wright, The Abductors). Denise’s fiancee is shot in broad daylight and her death is staged as a grief stricken suicide.

Horatio (David Caruso) and Calleigh (Emily Procter) search for Delko (Adam Rodriguez) . Horatio tells her they'll find him if he's out there and true enough it's he who chances upon him first. Delko stumbling through the Everglades has flashbacks to Calleigh firing at him in the car from last season. Delko suffers from massive blood loss and flashes back to 1997 again, whilst he's unconscious. Delko being a salvage truck driver discovers a car in the water. Cue Horatio in his grey suit, which he no longer wears. He used to wear a lot of grey in the early seasons of CSI:Miami (TV) but wears mostly black now. Horatio's partner, Sully (Brad Leland) is shown as he's going to be featured a lot in the remaining episodes this season. The Vic's been shot, the car is the secondary Cs (Crime Scene). This was a body dump and the Vic was shot elsewhere.

David Faustino is doing something similar to Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, but he's making it far more personal. He stars in a web comedy series called Star-ving, a parodied version of his own life. One of the recent episodes provides a special treat for fans of Married With Children.
Ed O'Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate, and Faustino starred as the members of the unique sitcom family known as the Bundys. Al is a dad/husband with a caustic wit and a penchant for attending strip clubs. Peg is his sex-starved, lazy wife who always wears high heels, spandex pants, and teased hair. Daughter Kelly is even more dim-witted than her mother while son Bud seems to have picked up the worst features of both of his parents. Other regular performers include Amanda Bearse, Ted McGinley, David Garrison, Harold Sylvester, E.E. Bell, Dan Tullis Jr., Kevin Curran, and Tom McCleister.

The big 1999 high school movie marathon continues with "Trippin'", a "Cooley High"-meets-"House Party" teen comedy that may not score high in originality but has promising moments of comic inspiration before slacking off toward the end.
Boosted by a likable performance by Deon Richmond -- a regular on the WB's "Sister Sister" -- this issue under October Films new genre division Rogue Pictures could hook up profitably with a young urban audience, though it might be getting a little late in the semester to attract the targeted demographic.
Richmond demonstrates a nice, light comedic touch as Greg "G" Reed, a daydreaming high school senior who frequently drifts off into amusing, Walter Mitty-type fantasies.
While his parents (Aloma Wright and Harold Sylvester) are getting just a little concerned that he has yet to fill out his college applications, G's got more pressing things on his wandering mind -- namely the high school prom and whether his dream date could ever be the smart, beautiful and highly unattainable Cinny Hawkins (Maia Campbell).
That's pretty much it in the plot department. Fortunately, actor-turned-director David Raynr and screenwriter Gary Hardwick manage to get something a little more substantial out of the humorous characters and the actors portraying them, which also include G's feisty, cholesterol-loving Gramps (Bill Henderson) and his righteous, encouraging teacher Mr. Shapic (Michael Warren, doing a fine tribute to "Room 222"'s Mr. Dixon).
Technical contributions are uniformly smooth, while busy composer Michel Colombier's ("How Stella Got Her Groove Back") laid-back score grooves along agreeably.
