Bad News Bears (2005)
If you liked Bad Santa, you'll like this
Okay, sometimes I go for a mindless film. This movie was pretty mindless but I expected it to be. It was foul mouthed and showed the kids trying to beat the snot out of each other. After "Bad Santa", I really didn't expect any less.
Someone else commented that there were long pauses left in for laughing. I'm not sure where he lives, but the people in my theater were all laughing their butts off most of the movie. Maybe it's an age difference - this was a mostly 20-something crowd enjoying this film.
Under no circumstances would I want my children seeing this film until they're at least 15, though. It IS an adult film and I don't think that kids need another movie to get bad ideas from. An R rating would have suited the film better, especially if it meant raunchier scenes.
All in all I enjoyed myself. It's not a film for everyone, that's for sure - but if you enjoyed "Bad Santa", you'll probably like this film.
CSI: Miami (2002)
CSI Miami is a different type of show than CSI - designed for a different taste
I've seen a few people comment on this show not being as good as the original CSI, but I disagree. It's a DIFFERENT show because the two leading actors are so different. Caine is a more of a cop than he is a scientist whereas Grissom of CSI is more of a scientist than a cop. The science of being a forensic investigator plays common throughout the two shows (obviously) but other than that - you're watching two different shows with different character dynamics. Different men run different ships. Both men get the job done (although Caine would never have let his shift get split in half like Grissom did).
Personally I think it's the best CSI.
And yes, I know, I didn't mention CSI:NY, but...it's not really worth mentioning. Sorry, Sinise.
