Articles tagged "alec baldwin" TV Review30 Rockby Jesse Hicks[17.Jan.08] :. With American Gladiators outdrawing its scripted predecessors, it's hard not to feel a pang of dread that 30 Rock, the most writer-centric sitcom in recent memory, might become the strike's first casualty.  Film ReviewBrooklyn Rules (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[18.May.07] :. Ah, the nostalgic mob drama. No matter the brutality, the blood, or the sheer fear that shape the memory, movies and TV tend to make life in the mob a growth experience. NewsAlec Baldwin berates daughter in phone tirade leaked to Webby Michelle Caruso [New York Daily News (MCT)][20.Apr.07] :. LOS ANGELES - Alec Baldwin could be barred from contact with his daughter after he left a threatening tirade on her voice mail, calling the 11-year-old a “rude, thoughtless little pig”...  DVD Film ReviewElizabethtown: Widescreen Special Collector’s Edition (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Feb.06] :. The DVD of Elizabethtown is called the Widescreen Special Collector's Edition, though there's not one thing special about it.  Film ReviewFun with Dick and Jane (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[21.Dec.05] :. For a comedy with so much politico-cultural baggage on its mind (and it's not above using Enron as a final punch line), Dick and Jane remains curiously inert.  Film ReviewElizabethtown (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[14.Oct.05] :. Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown does not know how to end. The Aviator (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.Dec.04] :. The Aviator portrays Hughes as a rebel and a genius, a dashing young man with ambition, hope, and nerve. The Fairly Oddparents: Channel Chasers (2004)by John G. Nettles[27.Oct.04] :. The Fairly Oddparents is damn funny, primarily because creator Butch Hartman speaks in a rapid patter of pop culture references. Along Came Polly (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Jan.04] :. Though plainly Ben Stiller's vehicle, Along Came Polly features an endearing, oddly delicate performance by Jennifer Aniston. The Cooler (2003)by Jesse Hassenger[11.Dec.03] :. The Cooler is interested in the nature of luck, be it a product of destiny or psychology. Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[20.Nov.03] :. Just in time for Thanksgiving: the Paris Hilton movie. Path to Warby Lesley Smith[10.Jun.02] :. It attempts to rehabilitate Johnson (Michael Gambon) as a President whose considerable political and social policy achievements have been forever overshadowed by his escalation of the Vietnam War. Cats & Dogs (2001)by Tracy McLooneIn 'Cats & Dogs', the colors are a little too bright, everything is a bit too perfect. And all is not as swell as the humans would think: it's 'American Beauty' for pets. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)by Cynthia FuchsThe invasion is not from without, per se, but from, and, as Ripley noted so insightfully in 'Alien 3', 'It's a metaphor.' And when 'Final Fantasy' pauses to engage this question, most notably in Aki's dreams, it's onto something. Outside Providence (1999)by Rhonda BaughmanOutside Providence begins in a lackluster manner, situating itself in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in 1974. Tim Dunphy (Shawn Hatosy) just wants to party, but his overbearing, emotionally secretive father, (Alec Baldwin), is not quite hip to the idea of teenage insolence. The generation gap becomes more of a pit, when Tim manages to rear end a parked police car. A slap to the face is the result, as well as a trip to the Cornwall Prep School for Boys. Bummer. Pearl Harbor (2001)by Mike WardPearl Harbor's endorsement of military ideals and barely submerged nostalgia for the war's anti-Japanese racism only abates for a half hour of stunningly rendered shoot-em-up as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and its surrounding airfields takes place. |
