This past weekend I went to see the movie Appaloosa and the movie was actually a really nice take back to Westerns. The movie brings us back to a western like Unforgiven, the Academy Award winner by Clint Eastwood. It was written, produced, directed and starred Ed Harris. The movie has bright spots. The acting is amazing, especially Jeremy Irons as the bad guy. The rest of the cast seems to flow together and really bring life to the movie. But, their is one glaring annoying point and that is Renee Zellweger. She does not capture the character and I think does not fit the part.
The movie brings in humor and the violence a western has, and molds them into a working piece. Ed Harris does an incredible job and you could see some acting nods from the movie come Oscar time from Harris, Irons, or even Viggo Mortensen.
The Eleventh Hour is an interesting new show that airs on CBS. The show brings a doctor who is a biologist into to help on complex cases with the help of a female FBI agent. It feels a lot like the show Fringe but, there is a different aspect to the show. The acting is quite spot on and it is a remake of a British show. The characters weave together nicely and the relationship between the two main characters adds for a amazing show. The show airs on Thursdays and I highly recommend it. On another note Heroes has really disappointed me this season the acting is quite sparce and the plot is a little flat. But, hopefully it will continue to build to a climax.
