Clue (1985)
The best movie ever!!
Clue is very possibly the funniest movie ever...Granted, to catch all the jokes, it takes at least 25 viewings. While it only grossed a little less than $15 million when it debuted in 1985, it supposedly has become a hit in video sales and rentals. Based on the popular board game of the same name, Clue has a bright ensemble cast. The three main actresses are especially wonderful: Brennan for her overtly anxious Mrs. Peacock, Kahn for her delightfully tragic Mrs. White, and Warren for her sassy and sexy portrayal of Miss Scarlet. Curry also comes off well as the butler, Wadsworth, as does Martin Mull as the dumb-as-he-looks Colonel Mustard. The three endings is a bit much, but all three are good fun. The jokes are always flying, often subtly. The only disappointment I have is that the DVD has only the barest essentials, although the picture and sound is greatly improved. Deleted scenes and commentary would have been exceptional. 4.9 out of 5 stars
The Mole (2001)
Best reality/game show out there!
This is the best reality/game show, even beating Survivor. It was about 10 people, 9 contestants vying for the cash prize, and 1 saboteur(The Mole) undercover trying to sabotage the contestants efforts to bring money into the group pot.
As it turned out, Kathryn Price was the Mole and Steve Cowles won the pot of $510,000. They both were probably the favorites from the beginning, and Kathryn was my personal favorite to be the Mole or winner.
The game was more original than Boot Camp or anything like that, and added elements of suspense, mystery, and intrigue. It also placed in the whodunnit sense of Clue.
I really wish Good Morning America decided to interview the executed each Wednesday/Thursday morning, it would have been interesting. I can't wait for the Mole 2 coming this fall. And by the way, the show didn't do that bad in ratings. It was ABC's top show for ages 18-34 in that time period and garnished a considerable rating place for a show.
