It's ...Remaking <i>Ben-Hur</i> is certainly pointless. It's a four-hour, badly-constructed, commercial for Christianity. You have that big action climax in the chariot race, which puts paid to the villain, and then there's another <i><b>HOUR</b></i> of turgid religiosity. At least the new one will be 100% Charleton Heston-free, so it must be an improvement.<br /><br />An old friend of mine, John Harding, who wrote a murder-noir novel that takes place behind-the-scenes of the shoot for the chariot race of the Ramon Navarro version, titled <i>The Ben-Hur Murders</i> (Available at Amazon), sent me an email after he saw a preview of the new <i>Ben-Hur</i> that said "No pixels were harmed in the filming of the chariot race."<br /><br />I posted a couple weeks ago "Doug James is by no <i><b>STRETCH</b></i> of the imagination, 'The King of Comedy.'" There's ad hype and hyperbole, and then there's just plain being obtuse.D.

Seriously, this show is practically torture porn (with an overlay of pseudointellectual conversation to make people feel smart while watching it). Even Mandy Patinkin -- not someone you think of as shying away from difficult roles -- called being on the show "destructive to my soul." People must like this stuff, but it's hard to see how anyone involved with making it could think of themselves as taking the high road.Tednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-91560926997276274332016-08-15T15:04:19.545-07:002016-08-15T15:04:19.545-07:00I got curious and looked up "The Accountant&q...I got curious and looked up "The Accountant" Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick are in it.

Winona Ryder doing a crazy "crazy." Then I watched the second episode, and then the third. By episode five of my binge watch, I couldn't wait to get to the end. Obviously an homage to Spielberg movies of the 1980s. Surprisingly, Ryder got better. The sheriff, who seemed a cliche in episode one, I began to root for.<br /><br />Regarding Jeannine Breslin, hard to believe her voice could get any more annoying four decades later - but it did. Spot on regarding Bill Camp. Where has he been? Much like discovering Jonathan Banks in BREAKING BAD.<br /><br />Joanna Cameron had a short shelf life, but you couldn't take your eyes off her with that killer smile.MikeK.Pa.noreply@blogger.com
