Shameless (2011)
Best Thing on TV
If you're bored with the Housewives of ..., then this is the show for you. Nothing else like it! Unpredictable. Adventurous. Unconventional. Fun! My review was too short - so here's more: I love this whole family; it only took 2 episodes for me to get that this show is really about "family values" - they all work together to solve family problems (often brought on by their own behavior!) Right-wingers need NOT apply. Kudos to all the actors, but especially to William H. Macy who plays a character that is difficult to love (but somehow I find myself rooting for the old drunk). Emmy Rossum is perfect (I think I'm falling in love). Every one of the kids is full of life and anything but boring - thanks kids! A bright future awaits those young-uns.
The Next Voice You Hear... (1950)
Save Yourself
When I saw the title for this movie, I thought "I gotta see this!" What a waste of my time. It wasn't clever or interesting in any way and it committed the worst "movie sin" of all - it was
BORING. There was the awful acting; Whitmore's drunk is not to be believed and then there is Nancy(Davis)Reagan's freaky pregnancy fear that makes no sense as she has already given birth before, plus we have the hysterical aunt, but there aren't enough of these god-awful moments to make this movie a hoot. It's not bad enough to be good and it certainly isn't good enough to be good. I am puzzled by the 20% who rated this film a "10" out of 10. In Summary: "B" writing, "B" acting, "B" production values plus an added dose of "preachy" that results in a poorly executed propaganda piece. Save yourself and skip this one.
