The eUrotic TV Schedule has been updated.
Capsule Review A highly unusual film, Time Code presents four simultaneous views of its convoluted plot. Yes, the screen is divided into quadrants, and the film plays out in real time. It’s actually more watchable than the technique sounds, but the plot never makes this one worth while. It’s interesting only in a technical sense.
John Swanbeck directs this 16mm film starring Kevin Spacey, Danny DeVito and Peter Facinelli as a trio of salesmen at an industrial lubricans convention in Wichita. Roger Rueff adapted his comic play. Previously titled Hospitality Suite. The TV station is transforming day by day.
Capsule Review: Very obviously a play adapted for the screen (The Big Kahuna takes place almost exclusively on one set), but this one has good enough dialogue that you don’t care. A somewhat allegorical tale comparing Christian beliefs to the business world, this is one story that will have you ruminating for quite a while after the credits roll. All three actors deliver meaty performances (and the youthful Peter Facinelli manages to hold his own against veterans Spacey and DeVito). This is definitely one film that doesn’t want you to turn your brain off at the door.
The free TV translation is being broadcasted.
Yep, it’s a prequel to The Flintstones. Young newlyweds Fred (Mark Addy) and Wilma (Kristen Johnson) leave their puppy Dino with friends Barney (Stephen Baldwin) and Betty (Jane Krakowski) to go on a trip to Rock Vegas. Joan Collins will play Wilma’s mother, Pearl Slaghoople, and Harvey Korman will play her husband. Thomas Gibson will play Chip Rockefeller, the richest man in Rock Vegas, who has an eye on Wilma. Alan Cummings will play The Gret Gazoo. Brian Levant directs.
Capsule Review: Does anyone really think we needed a prequel to the live-action Flintstones movie? This is a film based on a film based on a cartoon show based on a television skit. You know what they say about a copy of a copy? It holds true here, and what we’re left with is a fuzzy, indistinct plot with little merit. Jane Krakowski is the only improvement from the previous film, delivering a spot-on performance as Betty. The special effects are somewhat grander, but at it’s core, this movie is much more hollow than a cartoon.
