The Intended (2002)
Tense to the end - enthralling.
Saw this movie on cable. Initially looked dull, but drew me into the story with its unnerving, dark intensity and sense of something horrible coming at any moment. It casts a morbid spell that makes it hard to look away. Spellbinding is not an over statement - almost hypnotic in its attraction. The cast was superb. Olympia Dukakis seemed to be the well of emotions and is consumed in this dance of insanity and death in a steaming jungle. Relationships were played out to a dreadful completeness. The next unspeakable horror became expected, but never quite predictable. No, predictable is not part of the story line. A horrible side of humanity certainty is. I gave it a 9 out of 10.
WKRP in Cincinnati (1978)
Several favorites in a complementary cast.
The cast of WKRP worked so well together. They were each individual gems in a talented group that complemented each other so very well.
My fondest memories, and most laughs, revolve around Dr. Johnny Fever, Venus Flytrap, and the nerdy naive Les Nessman.
The Big Guy had that subtle disconnect about him that gave a jolt to his humor when he reconnected to what was going on at the station.
Andy, Andy, Andy, serious to a fault; never got the WKRP staff to run at his speed; trying to keep all the balls in the air at once; frustrated to laughter at every turn.
Bailey was sweet and smart; the perfect foil for Herb Tarlek's brash sales mind set.
Jennifer was so unflappable about the antics around her that the contrasting humor in her role was great.
WKRP is missed; we need the laughs now.
