GCB (2012)
Excellent Cast and a Good Unpretentious Script
In today's reality series overload it is refreshing to see a good dramedy with a biting wit and not afraid to push envelopes.
I just watched the pilot and cannot wait to see where they are going. Kristen Chenowith is the epitome of evil and the lead whom was a "mean girl plays a great straight foil.
The title was tamed down to GCB from Good Christian B***hes and I am glad. The name would create undesirable attention distracting the viewer from a potentially fun show.
This is an excellent successor for the Desperate Housewives audience. I can only hope they create good arcs that create a good payoff to the villains.
Stealing Beauty (1996)
An Underrated, Misunderstood Gem of a Film
While Liv Tyler is the "star" of this film she is only one facet of a beautiful film. While many comments focus on the coming of age plot line. This film not only presents a sexual beginning, but also an emotional journey. With the death of her poet laureate mother, Lucy (Liv Tyler) must find her way to emotional and sexual adulthood. Fortunately, the film never gets bogged down, or depressing.
Set in the lovely Tuscany province, Lucy's father sends her to spend time with friends of her mother and pose for an artist. Several of the characters are transparent, and easily understood, others are far more complex. Like life not all the answers are give, but the film rewards the viewer on multiple levels.
Enjoy watching the secondary characters grow in their own ways as well.
I hope this helps you.
