Criminal Minds: The Fight (2010)
Loved it
I stumbled upon CM about a year ago and I have generally reveled in every episode. This one was no exception. I don't watch any other crime series so any stolen ideas or plot lines would be new to me and I don't care if they stole this from that. I loved the svelte Forest Whitaker (svelte for Forest Whitaker, anyway) and thought he did an excellently believable job. He added a swagger to the show that has been missing since Manny P departed. I like pealing away the subtle layers of Hodge but hey, every once in a while I like been assaulted by characters as I was with Cooper and his team. The villain, his resources, and his devious scheme were fresh enough to keep my interest for 40 minutes. The sexual tension between members of the two teams was a nice little side of salsa with the whole enchilada. The ending, a happy one for once, ruled. All in all, bravo!
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Jaws soundtrack predecessor?
"Borrowing" is a time honored tradition in popular music and soundtracks. But for once I'd like one of these geniuses to just say - "hey, I stole that idea from this old movie." No dice. At least not this time.
Did anyone else notice the two note theme from Jaws as background music when the Gillman swims around stalking the beautiful Ms. Adams? I think I've heard this bit of a theme before in other movies but TCFTBL and Jaws have something in common, their preeminence as the best water villain movies of their times. Did John Williams do a little horror research in coming up with his chilling theme?
