NewsRadio (1995)
I miss this show!
It's been 2 years since NBC stupidly pulled the plug on its classiest, funniest show at the time, NewsRadio. Since then, I've been lucky enough to relive the show in reruns, but then the station here in Idaho that showed the reruns pulled those too! NBC pulled a truly idiodic move by cancelling a show this great and continuing to put on garbage like Daddio, Suddenly Susan, Veronica's Closet, Tucker, etc. Newsradio was never a huge ratings success, but it still was one of my favorite shows. The writing was flawless, always funny and original. The ensemble cast always worked perfectly together, even with the addition of Jon Lovitz, who never really did fill Phil Hartman's shoes. Its sad that it took Hartman's death for him to finally recieve an Emmy nomination for 4 seasons of continual hiliarity. But, as they say, the show must move on, but I just wanted to say how refreshing it was to finally watch a TV comedy that was SMART and FUNNY! Good work, everyone that worked on NewsRadio! ps-- Maura Tierney (Lisa Miller) can be seen on ER as Dr. Abby Lockhart.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
The Oscars are a sham!
I just want to start by saying the Academy Awards have officially become a popularity contest. How else can you explain Julia Roberts as Best Actress? Ellen Burstyn's performance in this film was real, intense, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, but most of all, passionately human. She exemplifies "acting" as opposed to "performing," which is exactly what Julia Roberts did in "Erin Brockovich." Ms. Burstyn, if you're reading this, just know that everyone who has seen your work in this film knows you are the better actress. And, guaranteed, Julia Roberts knows it too.
