 Shadow of Doubt $9.95 Randal Kleiser, the director of this average melodrama, is also the man who directed the classic movie, GREASE. Hard to believe that he could go from such a high energy classic to such a low key, ultimately average thriller. Melanie Griffith plays rather vapidly a high profile defense attorney who has just gotten city councilman John Ritter off of a rap. Earlier in her career, however, Griffith got an accused rapist, played with fearless ham by Craig Sheffer, off and found out later while in bed with him that he did rape the girl. Tom Berenger plays Jack, Griffith's ex husband, who is also the prosecuting attorney in the murder trial of a rising rap singer who Griffith is defending. Nina Foch chews up the scenery as the presidential hopeful's mother, and Wade Dominguez underplays the accused rap singer whose rap songs are far from what one would call good. At any rate, the movie moves along at a predictable pace and we know that there's more to the killing than meets the eye.By the way, singer Huey Lewis does a pretty good job as Griffith's PI; he at least has some life to him I Don't know whether Griffith played low key to show her inner strength, but she actually looks totally bored. Not a waste of time, but it could have been so much better.  Taxi 8x10 $9.90 Title: Taxi. Artist: Unknown. Image Size: 8.00in. x 10.00in.

The only negative about the episodes is the acting talent of one of the main characters, Michael O'Hare. He was ditched after the first season but came back for this 2 parter. I tip my hat to the producers for not casting another actor in his role even though he's arguably one of the worst actors I've ever seen, at least in this role. His part is crucial in the story though but I won't give it away if you haven't seen it. I'm a sucker for time travel stories. I admit it. I love how this episode jumps backwards, forwards, and sideways through time and the viewer never feels lost. Straczynski is a master storyteller. If he, Joss Whedon, and Tim Kring ever got together on a project, it might be so good that you'd explode involuntarily from watching it. If you're a fan of B5 and haven't seen this 2 parter, don't wait a second longer! Watch it now! It's THAT important and THAT good. If you've never seen B5, you probably will want to watch a good chunk of seasons 1 and 2 before renting this. |
