Movie Mondays!


Amazing! Spectacular! Peter Krause fresh off the heels of Six Feet Under stars in this SciFi channel mini-series with a great cast and excellent performances. Krause is a detective drawn in to an amazing subculture based around a mysterious event that happened many years ago. Alternately funny and scary, The Lost Room strikes a perfect balance between the two. My biggest complaint if anything is that SciFi has not pursued this as an ongoing series. Considering the dreck they normally air and the failed attempts at a continuing series from the last few years, one has to wonder why The Lost Room hasn’t been further developed. The camera loves Julianna Margulies, Kevin Pollack is wonderfully cast as a man who won’t let anything stop him to achieve his goals and Margaret Cho is the jaded woman in a dry-cleaning store who seems to have a lot of the answers. If you haven’t seen it, you missed out on one of the better pieces of television over the last few years.

I’m repurposing content by taking my NetFlix reviews and posting them here on the blog. If I could figure out a way to do it, I’d post some kind of link for people to connect and make me their friend on the service. Unfortunately, it isn’t altogether clear how one would do that - so if you know a way, pass it along. In the meantime, I’ve got steady content for at least a year.
