NETFLIXING Sudden Fear - rousing Film Noir starring Joan Crawford as an innocent, wronged woman and Jack Palance as the guy who's out for her money. Holds up very well.
Ocean's Eleven - the original, Rat Pack version is silky smooth and so lightweight it fairly floats above the screen. I miss the old Las Vegas, seen here in all it's glory. A commentary track by Frank Sinatra, Jr. gives this DVD an extra jump. Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! - super-silly Bob Hope and Phyllis Diller comedy that's good for a few corny laughs. Boy, those jokes got old fast. Just close your eyes and remember when they were new.
The Transporter 2 - not as good as the first but I love action movies so this one's a go. Shadow of the Eagle - 1932 serial starring a young John Wayne. Saturday morning fun. Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project - a documentary I was really looking forward to. It was OK. A/k/a Tommy Chong - a real punch in the gut. Don't miss this one. Air Raid Wardens / Nothing But Trouble - not Laurel & Hardy's best but pretty darn funny. Dick Cavett Show: Hollywood Greats - interviews with Bette Davis, Orson Welles, Robert Mitchum, Alfred Hitchcock and others. More please! Control - powerful, true to life film about Joy Division's lead singer. What incredible performances! Laurel & Hardy: Way Out West/Block-Heads - oh, these ARE two of Laurel & Hardy's best.
The In-Laws - one of my favorite films of all time, Alan Arkin & Peter Falk were never funnier. Strangers with Candy: Season 3 - enjoy The Colbert Report but haven't seen this show? You're in for a treat. The Final Countdown - modern US warship goes back in time to just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Like Red Dawn and Toy Soldiers, I think I've seen this movie 5 times but I still get a kick out of it. This DVD has a nice commentary track. Friday,

NEWS J.J. Abrams offers a first look into the new Star Trek movie, he hopes to create a film, "that grabbed me the way 'Star Wars' did." Gale Harold was in critical condition Wednesday after the Desperate Housewives actor crashed his motorcycle the day before, a hospital spokeswoman said. On an episode of the 1966 Batman TV show, the caped crusader ran for mayor of Gotham City against one of his arch enemies. The Penguin's line of attack in his debate with Batman sounds really familiar.

PASSING She performed on numerous TV shows and Broadway musicals (most notably Lil' Abner and Wonderful Town and on her husband's TV programs. Ms. Adams also appeared in many films including The Apartment with Jack Lemmon and It's A Mad, Mad ,Mad, Mad World. Following her husband's death in a car crash in the winter of 1962, she was forced to work off her husband's debts to the IRS. She fought hard to regain the rights to Ernie's TV shows and re-released them to the home video market. In addition to appearing on tributes to her husband, Ms. Adams' only major TV performance in later years was in the made for television movie Ernie Kovacs: Behind The Laughter which was based on the real life story of Kovaks trying to locate his two daughters Bette and Kippie who were abducted by his ex wife. Of all of her television appearances Edie Adams' most memorable was when she sang 'That's All' on the very last installment of The Lucy/Desi Comedy Hour in 1961. Her performance of this sad ballad moved everyone on the set of the show to tears.
Ms.
Adams three daughters - Mia Susan, Bette Kovacs, Jr. and Kippie have passed
away. She is survived by a son from another marriage. Thursday,

REVIEW Rocket back to a time when courage wasn't just the stuff of fiction, thrill at true heroes performing extraordinary feats of bravery, celebrate a time when remarkable men and women reached for the heavens and pierced the sky. Emotionally overwhelming, this is one of the finest documentary series I've ever seen. I sat riveted, transfixed throughout this entire experience, the first episode alone had me in tears by the end. Even when you know how things turn out When We Left Earth is still edge of the seat entertainment. Breathtaking archival footage, much of it unseen, and interviews with astronauts and flight personnel brings this amazing story to life. It's remarkable how crisp and spectacular the film looks from those early flights into space. Read the entire review... Thursday,
