2012 (2009)
Entertaining, but I was underwhelmed
I enjoyed 2012, but expected a better feeling for the wide scope of the disaster that occurs - like I did get from Independence Day. Frankly, the 5 minute or so clip that was released to TV and the Internet showing the family's escape from LA was the best part of the movie. The interesting thing is that I'm really on an apocalypse / end of the world / end of civilization kick lately, and 2012 didn't impress. Maybe it needed to be darker, more brooding? I expect that I'll really enjoy The Road when I eventually see it, and figure it will be a more satisfying "end of the world" film. Still, 2012 was entertaining for 2 1/2 hours and I feel like I got my money's worth. I won't be getting it on DVD, however.
Ned and Stacey (1995)
Great show
I loved this show and was terribly disappointed when it was canceled. I agree with other comments - this is the "straight" version of "Will & Grace", and I'm simply amazed that Debra Messing is in both! However, I've tried to watch Will & Grace, and it's absolutely painful to watch the show! Debra was 1,000 times better in Ned and Stacey. And I love everything that Thomas Haden Church does - he absolutely made this show. I just hope he gets some good recognition (and hopefully some deserved financial rewards) from his role in Sideways. While Thomas Haden Church was the "star", I also enjoyed Greg Germann a lot. His relationship with Thomas' character, Ned, were a big part of what kept me glued to this show. Bring it BACK!
