Articles tagged "oliver platt" TV ReviewNip/Tuckby Todd R. Ramlow[22.Jan.08] :. This is classic Nip/Tuck, a moment of complication, perhaps even "truth," amongst the regular soap operatics. It's one of the rewards for sitting through much of the rest of the show.  Film ReviewCasanova (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[6.Jan.06] :. Gaudy and giddy, this Casanova is full of energy but also strangely limp.  Film ReviewThe Ice Harvest (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Nov.05] :. If Charlie appears seem energetic, if not exactly inspired, it's only because he's in constant, circular motion.  Film DVD ReviewKinsey (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[18.May.05] :. Not only is the character difficult by heroic biopic standards, but his story combines radical thinking, extraordinary generosity, and supreme egotism. Film ReviewKinsey (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[19.Nov.04] :. At its best, Kinsey turns nearly impressionistic, as when it represents the doctor's increasingly convoluted relationships with his team.  Film ReviewPieces of April (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Oct.03] :. And April sits in the window frame, hair damp, contemplating the disaster she expects her day to become. Deadlineby Lesley SmithIn 'Deadline', Dick Wolf's new show for NBC, no one, least of all the self-satisfied Wallace Benton (played with plumy waspishness by Oliver Platt), seems to care a fig for the story. Ready to Rumble (2000)by P. Nelson ReinschReady to Rumble is ostensibly a simple comedy of bumbling bumpkins - in this case lovers of professional wrestling - along the lines of Farrelly brothers' films like Dumb and Dumber and Kingpin. Casanova (2005)by Cynthia FuchsThis would be the cleaned-up, wearisome, supposedly romantic version of the notorious Casanova. Bicentennial Man (1999)by Tobias PetersonRobots: we either love 'em or hate 'em. Movies have given us friendly Star Wars droids like R2-D2 and C-3PO and sadistic mechanical henchmen like Maximilian in The Black Hole. Science fiction television has shown both Buck Rogers' loyal sidekick Twiggy and the destructive Cylons of Battlestar Galactica. |
