Goat Story: The Old Prague Legends is not as bad as it might seem. Lábus' quality dubbing gives the whole story a touch of irony, which is fine. I wouldn't have thought it necessary to worry about the influence of Goat Story, in that it might become normative for other Czech animated films - which it didn't. So, as always, it's about calming the hormones and looking forward to the sequel.

It's not a bad film, because the classic humor and style are retained. I don't like wrestling, of course, but if the classic episodes The Engagement Ring (1.9, 1960) and Take Me Out to the Ball Game (2.32, 1962) are included on the DVD as bonus features, then that makes me happy.

"It might be better, therefore, if there were another episode, an episode zero of Bohéma, from the time of freedom, joy, free-thinking, and Avant-garde, so that we could see the walls grow from nothing. But I only know that now. I didn't know that when we started filming." With this quote from my interview with Robert Sedláček, I finally understood the whole story of Bohéma. He didn't know anything about that time, then he filmed it and only in retrospect did he develop an idea about the subject. This is a very sad calling card showing the arrogance of the creators to handle substances of a non-banal nature.

How can I put it more succinctly than that this hasn't brought joy into my life either? These intimate, endless dialogues full of mirroring of relationships between characters and creators without a single note of instrumental music are challenging, but serve no purpose other than relief. It does come in the last scene, but again the question is: at the expense of what? The endless variations on Bergman's favorite actors, the endless variations on his favorite themes...

This is pretty much a traditional teen comedy about how boys and girls graduated from high school and how a single party messed up their lives. The film stars posh lady Jenn Love, and she's learned a lot since then, but even then she had her proverbial chops. In supporting roles, we find the likes of Melissa Joan Hart, Liv Tyler, and Selma Blair. Classic 90s in full swing. So if you're from that generation, go ahead and watch it.

If these shows are structured in such a way that they just illustrate the commentary that a person prepares about himself, then that's fine. Who better to talk about the childhood, private life, and marriage of this or that actor than he himself? I'm glad Studenková got this opportunity. Her work is very eloquent and her guest appearances in Prague studios have always lit up films. Today, I am retrospectively filling in her Slovak roles and I am satisfied. Studenková is an ideal representative of the generation when Czech-Slovak music made sense. Today, surprisingly, this appears as something new, but it is not.

Okay, this is an explicitly weaker affair, but also seriously packed with all-time tv favorites. There's the beautiful and lovely JLH, her Ghost Whisperer partner Camryn Manheim, her Hot in Cleveland pal Wendie Malick, Nicollette Sheridan from Desperate Housewives, Ivan Sergei from Once a Thief, and last but not least Jon Lovitz, a veteran from the Married... with Children days. That's all I'd look for in it. It’s a low-budget, unfunny comedy for those of you who like unfunny comedies with familiar faces.

This is a relaxed 90s family comedy from small-town America. Plus a super sexy teenage Jenn Love. She’s spicy and is already well on her way. Sometimes these old-school affairs can make me really happy.

I was looking for a proper romcom with JLH until I found this. I don't quite understand the equation, because to be very romantic it has to take place in England (?!), but she's just a little hottie. A darling that makes this genre worth accepting. I'd almost like to try and watch more Meg Ryan movies sometime. That's how much magic our Love Hewitt can have :) And here he has some nice songs of her own, "Love Will Show You Everything" and "Take My Heart Back". This reminds me that she's not growing her singing career enough for my taste, but when she does, it's worth it.

It was excellent as a series to watch occasionally. Of the endless jumble of TV crime series, this one has a different theme and makes the investigation less routine. They did a good job with it. The one I come back to most often is Jennifer Love Hewitt hosting.
