Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This movie appeared on the lifetime network. And fittingly so because it's just as good as those movies! you know the type, has drama but no action and suspense. Well this movie is just like that it just treads along. But lets get to the nitty gritty of the story: Nicholas Lea (Dustin)is a movie executive,who is partying into the wee hours of the night with a bunch of bimbo type blondes in the back of a limousine with a bunch of his buddies. In a drunken stupor he decides to get out with one of them to take a stroll on the beach. What follows is your usual frolicking,kissing and stuff. Fast forward to the morning and our hero is wokened up by a homeless man named Minnow (Holt McCallany) with the woman lying several feet away seemingly dead. Minnow tells Dustin that he witnessed Dustin kill the woman in a fight but not to worry he would take care of the body if Dustin takes care of him. But all this is insidiously stupid to me! for why would you give someone so much leverage for a potential blackmail!! which predictably is what follows, Minnow gratiates hisself to Dustins rich life style enjoying his clothes,car,girlfriend,(Kari Wuhrer)thru all this Dustin through investigation finds he's been shammed. The victim of a cruel con now angry he plans revenge,without giving up to much of the ending I will just say it ends ironically. But what gives this movie little suspense is the basic personality traits of the main characters Dustin appears gutless and minnow appears far from menacing or intimidating and as far as Kari Wuhrer is concerned you wonder why he'd have her for a girlfriend anyway. and if you want to buy this dvd thinking she's showing her bod she isn't. This movie doesn't thrill you in any way! in my opinion just a so-so movie that could've been better.

Dirt: The Complete First Season (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do people realize how bitingly smart this show is? I don't think they do, judging by the disparaging comments on how gratuitous, lurid, and tasteless the show is. Guess what? It's a show about sensationalist TABLOIDISM. And the show IS funny: all sharp, bleeding wit--and Lucy Spiller's first instinct is to tear into the first hint of blood in the water.
But what's more amazing is to watch Courtney Cox as the Devil working the room, spinning her wheels and making deals, and then seeing her as the minions and pawns fade away and she's left alone, doubting. Human.
I think that's what this show at its core is about--showing what's human behind the celeb, the humanity behind the monstrous tabloid business, all that seems to be only plastic and spit-shined glamor, deceit and manipulation. The heart of the show lies in Lucy and Don's genuine friendship. Don truly is the "heart and voice" of the show, because it's through him that the show (daringly, honestly, unflinchingly) questions its actions: Why the hell is everyone acting so horribly to each other?
The answer: Because you want them to.
Dirt makes a statement and makes it profoundly--and not by beating you in the head with a soapbox. The show opens up into the hyper-real world that crystallizes the concept of What People Want, this current market of consumers' crushing need for entertainment that deals exclusively in sex, shame, blood, violence, and betrayal: "Who's the fugliest?" "Who's the sluttiest"? "When is that good-girl celeb going to give us a REAL show?" The weekly tabloids, but more than that--this obsession that controls every single aspect of media...and what gives Lucy Spiller, editor of one such "rag" such as Dirt so much *power* in the industry.
Do you hate what you see on-screen when you watch Dirt? Look around. If there's a magazine featuring TomKat's tortured wedded life on your desk, in your hands, hell--if you even know what I'm talking about--you're a part of it. Is there anyone who *isn't*?
This show explores all that. Again, daringly, unflinchingly--and beautifully, with heart. At no point does the show fail to realize just how horrible and desipicable and circus-like this preoccupation is, and I loved just how self-*aware* but not self-*conscious* this show was. It was just so elegantly put together and filled with an idealistic spirit--as unlikely as that may sound to some.
You can't watch Dirt thinking it's just "trashy fun." You won't get it. You won't get nearly what it's worth out of it.
But if you THINK while watching the beautiful art direction, acting, music, setting, plot, character development--it's definitely worth it. And above all, Dirt is honestly engaging and FUN to watch. And PRETTY. Don't let my long-winded review stop you from just enjoying it!
