I guess the quickest way to sum up this movie is from something I overheard while in the theater. This guy leans over and looks at this friend after his friend spits his drink all over himself from laughing and says, “This might be the funniest movie of all time.” Although I think that is stretching it, I will agree that STRANGE WILDERNESS is over-the-top hilarity every moment of the film.
Anyone who actually paid money to see the movie WISEGIRLS has probably wanted to see a hole drilled in Mira Sorvino’s head for years. Tonight, it happens on HOUSE M.D. She plays a psychiatrist on an Antarctic power station- the lone doctor, and when one of the workers gets wounded by a wild turbine blade, she swoops in, pours glue on the severed femoral artery and wraps up the gash with duct tape. MacGuyver with curves and an Oscar…Grr.
For those of you jonesing without new TV to watch, or horrified at the thought of the movie season crippled even more than usual by lack of good scripts, there may be hope on the horizon. According to
EW.com, an unnamed source close to the negotiations between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) claims a tentative deal has been reached.
