Good Television...Bad Movies

I've been very disappointed with the recent movies. "Illusionist" was fine, but I haven't been wanting to go to the movies. Instead, I've been content with the television, awaiting "Lost" and the new NBA season. There is just nothing good out in theaters when you know Jet Li can't act and will make another martial arts movie or when you discover that they're making movies from t.v. shows (Jackass 2 from Jackass and the Last Kiss from an old episode of Felicity). If you missed the episode last Monday, it's time to watch "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip." It has movie stars (Amanda Peet), a old movie screenwriter (Aaron Sorkin from one of my guilty pleasures "American President"), and lastly a movie look. It feels like a small movie and it works. I've always enjoyed Sorkin's shows especially "West Wing," and I hope people watch it because it's in an unusual time slot and because people still watch "Grey's Anatomy" despite "Sandra Oh My God you're STILL nasty."
