My Own Worst Enemy (2008)
Why was this canceled?
I loved this show, I really really did. I thought Christian Slater and all the supporting cast were fantastic, the show it's self had the right blend of action and humour and had a really likable darkness to it so I can't for the life of me understand why it was canceled!! I know the American networks are all about catchment groups and advertisers but just for once why can't they let a very well written and extremely well crafted show continue or at least do a full run of 22/23 episodes. It was the same with Journeyman, another great show that was chopped of at the knees because most Americans of a certain age would rather watch trash like the hills! What happened to quality, after all isn't acting supposed to be an art?? Judging by the shows that seem to do well across the pond it would appear the Americans like art in the painting by numbers genre.
The Majestic (2001)
Just perfect, should be rated 10:-)
Having seen the mediocre rating this film has garnered on here I began to watch it expecting nothing more than an average film and a forgettable way to spend a couple of hours on a Friday night, how wrong was I! What I ended up with was an absolute gem of a film, from the quietly emotional performance of Martin Landau to the very restrained yet brilliant portrayal offered by Jim Carrey, every actor was cast to perfection and as the film moves gently along it takes you on an ultimately uplifting journey. I would recommend this film to anyone who is bored of the constant stream of action blockbusters or who has never seen Jim Carrey do anything other than gurn his way through a film, if only more of his performances were laced with the kind of down to earth humanity he shows in this picture our perception of him as an actor would be quite different, my only complaint is that it took me 8 years to find this film but all good things come to those who wait I suppose:-) Do yourselves a favour, find a copy of this film, open a bottle of wine and sit back with someone you care about and just let it wash over you like a soft breeze on a summers day.
