Lulu on the Bridge (1998)
Plot too mixed up.
I was hoping the story line would pick up, but scenes were thrown in that didn't make sense, or didn't provide answers. True, no chemistry between Mira Sorvina and Harvey Keitel. I figured having heavyweights like Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Defoe, Gina Gershon, and Mandy Pantikin would add some depth, but their talents were wasted on a very abstract story. Overall, I was very disappointed. I expected more of this movie, because Vanessa Redgrave, Willem Defoe, and Gia Gershon are very good at doing independent and unusual movies. Anytime I see the name Vanessa Redgrave, I figure I'm in for a good movie. But I was let down completely by the story and cast!
Just Legal (2005)
The show had potential!
I was happy when I saw that Don Johnson was going to be in a new TV series and looked forward to it. The first show was slightly disappointing, but I figured it had more potential. And, because I am a Don Johnson fan I thought I give it another viewing at the next show. I really started to enjoy the byplay between Don an his younger co-star. The script truly showed what can happen between the cynic and the aspiring newcomer in the legal profession. It was really was to bad the producers pulled this show - because it had more heart and depth than some of the TV shows that have been shown. Don Johnson is not being given his just do. The audience is waiting for an intelligent show and this could have been it! Sincerely, Alicia Acido
