NewsViewers tend to stick with the predictableby Neal Justin [Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (MCT)][23.Feb.09] :. On the surface, Gregory House and Patrick Jane have little in common.

If television is indeed a vast cultural and artistic wasteland, then the 10 examples of culpable amusement selected by our staff must represent something significant -- or perhaps we're just way too addicted to the old boob tube. PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2008 The Mentalist: Series Premiereby Cynthia Fuchs[23.Sep.08] :. The Mentalist uses Patrick's (Simon Baker) obnoxiousness to different effects. When he isn't pausing to consider himself, he's taking out opponents at the knees. Hollywoodland (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[8.Sep.06] :. Simo is as self-inflating and lost as George Reeves, his heroism as flimsy and sad. Prison Break - Season Oneby Jake Meaney[6.Sep.06] :. Fox's preposterous prison serial cranks the lunacy and thrills up to 11 in its oversized and rollicking inaugural season. Prison Breakby Mary Colgan[3.Apr.06] :.

'In case you're wondering,' says director Paul Abascal, 'in this movie, the paparazzi are very sleazy guys.'" The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003)by Elbert Ventura[14.Aug.03] :. Eschewing the loopy romanticism of his past efforts, Alan Rudolph displays admirable restraint in representing domestic drudgery. The In-Laws (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[22.May.03] :. Robin Tunney's cool aversion to stereotype is easily The In-Laws' most valuable asset. Vertical Limit (2000)by Cynthia FuchsForces of nature make for excellent movie villains.
