I went to see Whiteout yesterday, the new film directed by Dominic Shea starring Kate Beckinsale and Gabriel Macht (who I last saw in The Spirit, a film that I liked very much and thought that he did a great job). The trailers seem to indicate some sort of supernatural entity is causing problems in Antarctica, but this film turned out to be a murder mystery and I thought was pretty well done. I give it a B and enjoyed watching a pure thriller for a change. Beckinsale is very good in this film.
Robin Hood (BBC America) has the first episode of its final season air last night. Friar Tuck has been added to the cast as Brother Tuck a African-Englishman who is a priest. He seems to retain the scientific intelligence and warrior skill exhibited by Tuck in portrayals past, just not the girth or love of food. Should be a good season, the show gets an A.
Monk (USA) had another good episode this past week, Jay Mohr played an attorney who was able to befuddle Monk on the witness stand in order to get a not guilty verdict, but Monk gets the killer in the end and the comeuppance of Mohr. This final season is getting better and better, the show gets an A.
Patriots take on the Bills in Foxboro this Monday night, I am expecting the Patriots to win, 35-3 , the 3 coming in late in the fourth quarter as the Bills struggle all night long. Penn State beat up on Syracuse 28-7 as they go to a 2-0 record.
Oh well.
