The Pink Panther 2 trailer

The Pink Panther re-make with Steve Martin was no great comedy, by any standard. Still, everytime I see it while surfing channels, I stop and give it some time. There are enough hilarious moments to keep me watching. I watch while mentally chastising myself the whole time, for doing so.

Two scenes, in particular, always get me laughing, and angry at the fact that I am laughing. Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin) parking his car and learning to say hamburger.

Son of a bitch! I just watched the trailer for PP2, and I might have to go see it. I'm sure my girl will love hearing this. I'm probably gonna have to pull some kind of chicanery in the theater to make it happen. The ultimate trick, of course, is to get her to see it with me, and make it seem like it was her choice. That way it doesn't count as one of mine, and I can avoid the inevitable chick-flick that would await me, otherwise. I've got 'til February to hatch a plan.

Damn your eyes Steve Martin! damn your eeeyes...... Sphere: Related Content

McCain kills on SNL

American hero, John McCain, tickles the funny bones of the "real" Saturday Night Live fans. McCain teamed up with Tina "SP 2.0" Fey in a hilarious QVC campaign special, which also featured the effervescent Cindy McCain. He also did a bang up job on Weekend Update. I hope he doesn't go "Double Maverick" on our asses.

Listen, I know that John McCain isn't a race baiting gremlin. He's a war hero, and an overall exceptional human being. It's a shame that we haven't seen this side of McCain, as often lately, but the guy is taking his last stab a the presidency. I'm not giving anybody a free pass. I'm just saying, that no matter how much a candidate wants to run a civil campaign, there's no room for angels in politics.

Now, Sarah Palin, that bitch scares me. Tell me why I keep having nightmares about running through the woods, dodging bullets from a helicopter. Brrrrrrrrr. Sphere: Related Content

Frank Miller takes the helm for 'Buck Rogers' movie

After going back and forth, Frank Miller has agreed to direct a new 'Buck Rogers' flick. Miller back in May, fresh off his directorial debut for the movie adaptation for the classic comic book hero 'The Spirit', was rumored to be tapped for the 'Buck Rogers' project, but that rumor was squashed by Nu Image/Millennium Films' camp. Well, it's on now. IESB got this while at the 2008 Spike TV Scream Awards.

Deborah Del Prete, producer of Miller's upcoming solo directing debut The Spirit. Del Prete reportedly said that Miller "would be making an announcement soon" about a classic sci-fi hero that he was going to make a movie about.

I know that this movie will be more along the line of the old 'Buck Rogers' serials, but if Frank can just do me a solid, and incorporate 'Twiggy' from the 80's TV version.....biggy, biggy, biggy. Damn, that's my boy!

Italian cops get all the best stuff

The Italian State Police just got the hook up from Lamborghini. A brand spankin' new Lambo Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia. The new patrol car is specially outfitted with all the necessary cop gear, radio, gun racks. A wifi video system installed in the vehicle allows the officers to record evidence and beam it back to base. There's also a storage cooler in the front area, supposedly to house severed body parts from accidents, but I'm thinkin' maybe a frosty beverage or two might fit, but that's just me.

The new Gallardo LP560-4 Polizia, which replaces the previous Gallardo in use by the Italian police force since 2004 has a 560 horsepower engine that can reach speeds of up to 203 mph. The car will begin service with the Lazio Highway Police Department in order to continue accident and crime prevention to sustain security on the Italian roads.

Cops drivin' Lambos...? If that were me....cruisin' the streets of Italia, in that high performance beast, I'd roll like I was playin' real life 'Need for Speed'. I'd practically be beggin' some scumbag perp to go jack rabbit on my watch. Go ahead maggot, make a move!......No, I'm serious, I want you to run. Aaah dude,..c'mon...don't be a douche'.

EA's Army of Two greenlit

Electronic Arts' co-op shooter 'Army of two,' will be blasting its way to the big screen. EA has joined with film producer Scott Stuber ('Assassins,' 'The Kingdom') to realize this video game to major motion picture endeavor. Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum) has been tasked to pen the screenplay.

Now, other than maybe the coolest video game commercial I've seen, the game itself was something of a disappointment. The graphics style and overall game design was decent, but the game play, which includes the dopiest NPC's in history, was lacking to say the least. Let's just say, replay value ......eh, not so much.

Can a lackluster video game be made into a kick-ass action movie blow-up? Hell, yeah! You got two highly trained roughnecks, bustin' skulls and takin' names, and killin' dudes......some women and children, but mostly dudes! Geared up from the ground up, with the baddest ordinance Uncle Sam can provide. Yuh damn right it can be done....HOO!

Lute Olson calls it a career

I don't post much about sports, even though I'm a huge sports fan. In this case, being a big-time college b-ball guy, I'm compelled to touch on this. University of Arizona Head Basketball Coach, Lute Olson, has stepped down from his position after 25 years at the post. The Wildcats have been a perennial power in the college hoops arena, under Olson's guidance, but suffered their worst season since 1982-1983 (19 Wins - 15 Losses), last year.

The 74 year old, Olson had taken a leave of absence last season, due to personal reasons. Assistant Coach Kevin O'Neill took over the reigns for Olson last season. A replacement has yet to be named.

Coach Olson was a pillar in the scholastic sports world, and I'm sad to see him go. Good luck, Coach.

The good Doctor, Strange may materialize onto the big screen

Our favorite mystical mage could be making his well deserved screen debut. Some have reasoned that the magical nature of Doctor Strange may not jive in the current comic book movie world which has developed something of more realistic, dramatic production style. Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios production President, feels otherwise.

“Very much so,” Feige said. “I’d say in the next year, year and a half, as we start putting together our film slate for 2012 and 2013, I would not be shocked if we saw Dr. Strange on those lists. I love the idea of taping into the magical realm of the Marvel Universe, which is fairly significant and hasn’t yet seen life on screen.

In my own little circle, I've been lauding the merits of a Doctor Strange screen adaptation, and have berated those that claim that magic won't play, now. Hell, I want to see all of my favorite Marvel, DC, and overall comic book universe, characters make it to Hollywood, and the idea that some may be disqualified because their stories seem less plausible than a guy that sticks to walls, or a guy that builds a flying super-suit, or a team of humans born with special genes that allow them to, uuuum....I don't know, shoot frickin' laser beams from their eyes, or some such. Of course, lest we forget the guy that wears a bat-suit and drives around busting heads in a Hum-V on steroids. Just do it right and it will work. Just do it!

Norwegian songstress Maria Mena

Xena vs. Army of Darkness comic book

You got your Xena in my Army of Darkness....you got your Army of Darkness in my Xena. Will 2 of my favorite tastes, taste great together? The 'Evil Dead' reluctant hero, Ash Williams, comes together with Xena the Warrior Princess and her, diminutive yet apple bottomed, ward Gabrielle to battle the ever present evil that is the Army of Darkness. In comic book form no less.

People forget, and maybe rightly so (kidding...), that Bruce "Ash" Campbell, played Autolycus, the lovable King of Thieves, in the Xena TV series. So there is a connection between the 2 genres. Autolycus will also appear in the comic book series storyline.

I wonder if the clandestine lesbian aesthetic between Xena and Gabrielle will be as pervasive in the comic book as in the TV show? It'll keep me reading. I'm something of lech, you see.

If you thought it wasn't possible that George , the self proclaimed "Flesh Saber," Lucas could not milk the Ole' SW anymore, heeeere's another MMO video game vying for your consumer dollar. 'The Old Republic' is to take place thousands of years, or something, before the birth of your boy Vader. The ingredients in this game recipe are much of the same stuff found in most MMO's. Guilds or sects questing and looting or some such minutia. Accept here, your friends at Lucas Arts, stick lighty swords that make funny sounds in it, and slap the Star Wars ™ on the packaging, and wait for the cosplay geeks to offer up their Visa cards in record numbers.

Oh, but wait. BioWare has the reigns on this philly. I hear BioWare and think about how unbelievably good Knights of the Old Republic was.....and more recently of course, the new classic 'Mass Effect.' Ok, the hate stops for now,.....for now.

My truck's a couple of years old and I'm going to have it for the next 10 years probably. So I don't see [Obama] helping me out,'' he told reporters this morning.

Excessive drinking and karaoke always leads to public urination

Table tennis world champion Wang Hao, has been told to go to his room. China's table tennis team is providing counseling for the Olympic medalist, after an incident at a karaoke joint. It's been reported that Hao got into a brawl with a security guard, as the guard tried to stop him from relieving himself outside the club.

"I am the famous Wang Hao! I am the world champion! Does it matter if I beat you?" shouted the 24-year-old, according to a witness quoted by the papers.
China's national table tennis team played down the incident and said that Wang, who also won a team gold at the Beijing Games, had merely had a heated exchange of words.

Booze is one of our greatest achievements as a species. Just after sex and buffalo wings.

The sumo news from down under

Fourteen year old Australian Samantha-Jane Stacey, won the silver medal at the World Sumo Championships. The event was held over the weekend in Estonia. She won the silver in the heavyweight division of the junior championships, despite a sprained ankle. That's playing with pain.

It turns out, not everyone in ole' Australia is super stoked about Samantha-Jane's accomplishment. Her mom, Sue, is up in arms about some negative comments from people upset at Samantha-Jane's 130kg (286 pounds, roughly) weight.

"Some of the comments were the most disgusting, un-Australian things I've ever read," she said from her Banora Point home.

"The things people say don't worry Sam because she's happy in her own skin. To me, she's beautiful inside and out and I'm so proud of her. She's a gift from God and I love her so much."

Mrs Stacey said her daughter led an active life – playing netball as well as competitive sumo wrestling – and her weight was due to a medical condition rather than a junk food diet.

Who knows if this is good for the aptly named, Sammy Sumo? I've read stories saying how these sumo types are in deceptively good shape. I don't know, maybe this debate is better left to more doctory types, than myself. I'm not a doctor, but I play one in bed. Buh-dum-bum, tsss.

This Punisher re-vamping is soooo violent, and unrepentant with the "R" rating the first.....uh second Punisher movie should have been going for. How can you make a movie about a blood-thirsty vigilante, with an arsenal of weapons that would make Dick Cheney green with envy, and actually want to make it to be "PG-13?" Retarded, you say? I agree.

I'd forgotten that it was directed by a chick, Lexi Alexander. The first time I heard that, I was sure it meant a more violent vision for the movie. If they let a woman take the reigns, and she made another tweener, family friendly flick, it would have been a disaster for this comic book icon. The comic gee.....aficionados would have rioted.

A comic favorite of mine

While I was poking around the DC Comics website, I was reminded that they own Vertigo comics. Vertigo published the "Skreemer" 6 issue limited series. I immediately ran to the basement and rifled through my old books, and there they were. All six copies, neatly encased in mylar and acid free backing board. The story centers around Veto Skreemers rise, in a depression era backdrop, from a young street urchin to the head of the most powerful criminal organization in the country. The story is narrated by Peter Finnegan as he recounts how Veto Skreemer's rise intersects with the Finnegan's constant struggle to survive in the time after the fall.

Skreemer won the "Favourite Single or Continued Story US" Eagle Award in 1989. It's a great read. You can find the trade paperback at DC Comics or Amazon

Early Cuyler shows us the evils of racism

It looks like the Presidential race is turning ugly. Both sides are "taking the gloves off." Even though I know deep down inside, that racism is gonna play a role in this election. The size of this effect, I believe, will be minimal. Some people think that when the McCain campaign talks about Obama not being like us, their being racist. Whatever. It's all goin to hades in a hand basket, anyway.

Myself, I always go back to The Squidbillies when I have a crisis of conscience or if I'm silly drunk. The pearls of wisdom imparted by Early, the Cuyler family patriarch, are akin to the same folksy, down home enlightenment you would get from a Sheriff Andy Griffith or the sage redneck scholar Jeff Foxworthy.

Save Sarah Connor......

Recently it's been reported that one of my favorite shows, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is in danger of being canceled due to poor ratings. I heard, about a week ago, that fox was mulling over shutting down production on the show. They'll probably air all of the shows that are in the can, but it just might be curtains. The axe may have already been dropped. Fox's baby, Prison Break, is also slumping and the poor lead in from TSCC is spooking them. This may be the ole' Curse of the Tivo. All I know is that the show is one of the best on TV, and I would hate to see it go.

Seriously, Lena Headey as Sarah Connor, is a bad ass gun slinging MILF and Summer Glau is tantalizing as the metallic ingenue/enforcer, Cameron.

Very informative, I must say. Someday, I'm sure to work up the fortitude to send her a question. Frankly, I don't feel like thinking right now. Maybe tomorrow. Or the next day. Soon,....soon. Thank you, once again, for indulging me. Sphere: Related Content

Daredevil re-imagined?

Word on the streets of Hell's Kitchen is that Fox Studios is thinking about a possible do over for The Man Without Fear. Taking into consideration the successful resuscitation of the Batman and Incredible Hulk franchises, Fox believes that with the right vision, the same can be done for Daredevil. It's a hypothetical for now, but Fox Studios has struggled with a string of box office duds this Summer, and needs to crank out some hits. Just in case you were wondering, there's no Ben Affleck in sight. I can only hope this remains true. Affleck's cool. Goodwill Hunting is one of my go tos, but he should sit this one out. That's if it happens. For comic geeks this is a must have. Like Iron-Man, Daredevil is a lesser known, yet iconic figure in the Marvel Universe. If done right, DD can be another smash hit for this budding movie genre.

Although unlikely, if someone from Fox sees this post, call Frank Miller stat. He might be able to help. Also, Elektra is Asian, the Kingpin is a fat white man, and Bullseye doesn't have a friggin target carved in his head. At least get him a hat for crimminey sake. ...target carved into his head, what the fuck!? That is all. Sphere: Related Content

Kenneth Branagh, the boss of Thor?

Ok, pick somebody already. It appears that my earlier report on a possible director for the live action Thor movie was to good to be true. Marvel is now in negotiations with Shakespeare aficionado Kenneth Branagh to direct the God of Thunder flick. I have to say, even though Branagh doesn't have any true action movie credits under his belt, his track record with more artsy fair may serve him well here. Thor's story, even when adapted for the comic book world, smacks of Shakespeare in many respects. It should be cool, but if I see any puffy pants or ruffled collars, I'm gonna freak. Let's hope that Marvel Studios can wrap this up and get started on casting already. Sphere: Related Content

The Citroën GT looks soooo sweet

I know it's weird when guys talk about cars like they're chicks, buuuuut, I wanna cover the Citroën GT in honey glaze and lick it up and down. Oooh, if only someone made a stripper pole for cars. If the GT was a real woman, she would be an amazon with spectacular breasts, succulent lips, and an ass like whoa. You know, a little heavy, not as fast as she looks, but you still wanna go for a ride. A wild and crazy ride that ends in a grandiose, multiple body roll, crash and burn with me crawling dirty and naked on the side of a desert road just outside of Vegas. Uuuum, honey glaze. Yeah, that's the stuff.....stickyyyy. The GT is being featured in the upcoming Gran Turismo video game. That's pretty much the only way most of us will get to drive it.

True Crime......Case of the Boobie Banditas

A dude in Florida claimed that he was robbed by 4 topless broads wearing overalls. Olmer Morales told police that while riding his bike, he was stopped by 4 thin blonde chicks in overalls with no shirts or bras. He says a fifth woman described as a big fatty, thankfully wearing a shirt and overalls, jumped in front of his bike and held his handlebars while the more attractive, easier on the eyes, ladies rifled threw his pockets. The total take....a hundred bucks. Yep that's right, 20 bucks each.

A jaunty afternoon city bike ride...Freebie

An impromptu titty show/assault....$100

Five bimbos thinking that robbing a guy riding a bicycle will fund their budding criminal enterprise....Priceless.

Well, I'm gonna hop on the ole' Huffy and see if I can get some action to. See the incident report at The Smoking Gun Sphere: Related Content

Heather Locklear's disappointing mugshot

It can't be just me, can it? The mugshot is humorous, maybe slightly degrading, yet somehow forced. I think that these borderline celebs are deliberately trying to look retarded. That wide eyed, dilated stare, seems to be the standard look. It's like they know that's the look that will get your mugshot on every tv show, newspaper, and blog around. Any press is good press...right? I know Heather is having legit issues, these days. Still, the pessimist in me is asking who received her one phone call? The lawyer or the publicist?

(lightbulb).....the publicist, and they called the lawyer. Of course. Sphere: Related Content

Redskins put the boots to the Cowboys in Big D.....Suck it Dallas fans

The Washington Redskins cold punished the Dallas Cowgirls in a 26-24 victory. This was the last meeting of these two mortal enemies in the historic Texas Stadium. The Redskins offense controlled the contest with an effective run/pass mix, and the defense was stout against the run, making Dallas completely one dimensional. Clinton Portis had his first 100yd rushing game in Dallas with some big runs in the 4th quarter, as the Redskins attempted to milk the clock. Jason Campbell shined, completing 14 of 20 passes for 188 yards and 2 touchdowns. Campbell spoke after the game with The Washington Post

"You know, when you look at the fans celebrating, when you look at the way we're playing, this is what it's all about," Campbell said. "We're staying together and we keep fighting, so we can accomplish anything when we do that. But to come down here in a rivalry game like this and everything, it just means a lot for the organization, our fans and just everybody that cares about the Redskins."

I don't post a lot of sports related stuff, but Redskins Vs. Cowboys is serious business, here in D.C. Blind homer, anyone? Dallas Sucks! That is all.

Wait, that's not all. Strike up the band! Daaaah, dah, dah, dah-dah.....daaah, dah, dah, daaah! Wooo!

Apple unlocks the iPhone.......just not here

Is it just me, or is America being left behind. We've been passed, and are falling back further. Apple finally delivers an unlocked iPhone, but in Hong Kong. The phone can be purchased and activated using any carrier. This used to be the place were everything happened. If a company had something big to announce, something special to introduce to the market, it was done in the ole' U.S. of A. Then Japan took over. Now it's China. I know, don't playa hate. It's just seems to me that we're not the cool kids anymore. It's kind of a bummer. I hear you, though. Dude, it's just a phone, you say. Is it,...really? CNET

Apple has made an unlocked version of the iPhone 3G available in Hong Kong. Unlocked iPhones are rampant worldwide, but that isn't something that Apple has sanctioned. Freedom doesn't come cheap. The 8GB version is available for about $695 (5,400 Hong Kong dollars), while the 16GB iPhone costs about $798 (6,200 HK dollars), according to Apple's site.

Daniel Radc.....Harry Potter is a legit actor...No, for serious

Harry Potter debuts on Broadway to rave reviews. I didn't bother to put any real effort into researching this story, so I'm gonna wing it. From what I've gleaned, Harry Potter drops his pants and rubs up on some horses. Why they used horses, not unicorns, I don't know. Still, it's Genius! Seriously, there will be no hater-ation at XLarger. At least not in this case. Here are some reviews.

Ben Brantley of The New York Times said Radcliffe, 19, wore his part of a suburban stableboy who commits grotesque crimes against horses "like a tailor's delight -- that is, a natural fit that allows room to stretch."

"Like many beloved film actors Mr. Radcliffe has an air of heightened ordinariness, of the everyday lad who snags your attention with an extra, possibly dangerous gleam of intensity," wrote Brantley, adding his "Alsatian-blue gaze" helped his convincing performance.

Jack Sparrow finds Walt Disney's treasure?

Disney has announced Johnny Depp will reprise his role as the lovable seafaring scallywag, Jack Sparrow. There is no release date as of yet, but Disney has plenty of stuff to keep JD occupied. I got this from the New York Times, of all places.

Captain Jack Sparrow will sail again. The Walt Disney Company’s film division said Wednesday that Johnny Depp, below, would star in a fourth installment of its “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. A release is still years away — Disney did not give specifics on timing or a plot — but the company intends to keep Mr. Depp busy in the meantime. He will play the Mad Hatter in a 2010 re-imagining of “Alice in Wonderland,” directed by Tim Burton, and Tonto in a remake of “The Lone Ranger.”

JD is one of my favorite thespians currently performing thespianry. He delivers the goods every time. Even Tim Burton's foolishness can't tarnish his slick, melancholy coolness. No, I'm not gay for the Deppster, and you can't prove otherwise.

Gone on and get that money, boy! Tim Burton is a hack. That is all.

Ok, I'll give you "Ed Wood"

Stem cell research breakthrough.....well, if you're a mouse

The few people to experience XLarger's fledgling foray into the world of blog, will be glad to know that I am aware of what they call, "the science." Like GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, I'm more of a witchcraft fan myself. It appears that some big brains have found a way to create a pluripotent (Ability of a single stem cell to give rise to all of the various cell types that make up the body) stem cell from an adult cell. Well, an adult mouse cell anyway. Read this from the Washington Post

A team of Boston scientists developed a way to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) -- which are functionally similar to embryonic stem cells, but which can be produced from adult cells, rather than via the creation or destruction of an embryo -- more safely than ever.Should the findings, which involved mouse cells, be repeated with humans, they could pave the way for using iPS to delve into the biology of a wide range of genetic diseases.

"I think it's a really important, landmark study," said Kevin Eggan, an assistant professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology and an assistant investigator of the Stowers Medical Institute at Harvard University. He was not involved in the study.

The results were published in the Sept. 25 online edition of Science.

And the right to lifers exalt, as the rest of us scream, FINALLY! No need for embryonic stem cells. Please be the answer to this ridiculous argument. It's a debate that, frankly, I'm tired of having. Then again, how many times have they poked a bunch of mice and declared, eureka? Well I know this much, if somehow this turns into the creation of a mouse-man hybrid super soldier, it'll be well worth all the headaches.

P.S. I knew what pluripotent meant. The definition was for you dummies. Sphere: Related Content

AT&T and Verizon pledge to mind their own damn business

These 2 numb nuts have admitted to monitoring customer usage, in an effort to tailor advertising to consumers. AT&T and Verizon admitted this at a Senate committee hearing. I don't believe it. Oh, and I'm sure they would never ever turn this information over to the feds, if asked. Patriot Act anyone? This bothers me simply because I look at an exorbitant amount of internet porn. Like most normal people. How am I supposed to assault my nether regions, knowing some computer program is watching me? I mean, come on, it knows what I'm doing. Now, I have a different service provider, but I know they all practice this nonsense. Pervs! Here's part of the Washington Post article

The practice, known as "behavioral targeting," is largely invisible to customers and generally done without their consent.

"Verizon believes that before company captures certain Internet-usage data . . . it should obtain meaningful, affirmative consent from consumers," said Thomas J. Tauke, Verizon executive vice president.

AT&T's chief privacy officer Dorothy Attwood made a similar pledge to legislators, and then, taking aim at Google she noted that AT&T's promise to get consumer consent is an advance over others in the industry.

NO WAY! Clay Aiken likes dudes

Hahahahahahah....... huhuhuhuhh....... HAHAHHAHAHHAHHA! In the October issue of People Magazine, Clay Akin reveals his proclivity towards homosexual activity. Frankly, Clay's androginous looks, and strange appeal to seemingly sexless soccer moms has lead me to believe him to be something of a human earthworm. Neither male nor female, and possesing the ability to asexually reproduce. It appears that I was mistaken. These things happen. Turns out that he's managed to come into possesion of an infant, he claims to be his progeny. Ok, I'll buy it. Some turkey baster action, just like mike. If there is one thing for certain, there is no chance that he found some chick and actually put it in. You know what "it" is. I saw the cover of People with the kid and decided not to use the pic. I'm no fan of this baby for pay attitude Hollywood and the celeb rags have adopted these days, but out of control paparazzi and public demand has instigated this sad state. Sphere: Related Content

New Fox series for "The Incrdeble Hulk" star Tim Roth

Coming off the big green summer blockbuster, Tim Roth signed up for producer Brian Glazer's new drama "Lie To Me." Fox has already ordered 13 episodes of the one hour series about a man who can read peoples faces, and tell if they are lying. Aaalllright, sounds like a winner.....? I found this nugget at Variety

"Lie to Me" is set to start shooting in November. Scribes have already got a jump on production; Fox had earlier ordered several scripts in addition to the pilot, allowing series creator Sam Baum and his team a chance to generate several more stories.

"This is a very important piece of the puzzle for us," said Fox Entertainment proxy Kevin Reilly. "We’ve got big plans for this year, and it was important that this one came together. It’s that very elusive but fundamental thing we’re looking for: a commercially viable franchise that can generate five-plus years for us."

Tim Roth has been doing movies and TV for a while, but up until the Hulk movie, he has been under the radar for some time. At least, as far as I can tell. Most people know him as Mr. Orange in "Reservoir Dogs" and Ringo in "Pulp Fiction." Two Quentin Tarantino staples for movie fans. A few other Roth favorites of mine, are "Captives," which also starred Julia Ormond ("Sabrina" and "Legends of the Fall"). "Rob Roy," with Liam Neeson, were he was great as the sadistic Archibald Cunningham, and "Murder in the Heartland," a little known TV movie, also starring Fairuza Balk. I enjoy Roth's sullen, yet intense acting style, and the fact that he looks like an angry aardvark and still gets work gives us regular guys hope.
