The Michael Richards Show (2000)

Quite disappointed.

[23 October 2000]

I expected to see a lot more from the series premiere of the Michael Richards show. All of the actors, who are all quite seasoned, did a very shabby job. Especially Mr.Devane. Tim Meadows also didn't give us much in the way of a character, just a lot of meaningless lines. And Mr.Richards himself- I was quite disappointed, he wasn't funny, he tried to be and failed, which is the worst type! To me the writing is one punchline after the other, but the most irritating part of the whole show was the very loud and very untimely laugh tracks. I will continue to watch, praying that it gets better.

Marvin's Room (1996)

The deep parts of the movies...could be considered spoiler.

I found that the Lee/Bessie/Marvin situation paralleled the Bob/Doctor situation. You have family, you know they can't go anywhere else so you felt compelled to help them. I was told that the point of this is 'Family Matters Most', but I personally disagree. I see this as being humans having a natural instinct to want to help people and share in their pain no matter how much they think they don't (i.e. Hank changing.) I also liked it how it showed you someone can be COMPLETELY different around two different people (i.e. Hank/Bessie.) I usually never cry in movies...but this got my eyes stinging.
