Have you ever wondered what a live action version of “The Simpsons” would look like? No? Well, some pretty creative filmmakers took it upon themselves to recreate the opening credits of the animated series using real actors. The video is up on YouTube and can be seen by clicking here.

“Crash“?
Well, I don’t think anybody saw that one coming, including the cast of the film, who were jumping out of their seats in complete amazement last night when presenter Jack Nicholson read the name off the envelope. I had previously predicted that if there was one film that could upset frontrunner “Brokeback Mountain” for the prize, it would be the Paul Haggis-directed drama, but it was still a shocker when it happened. Since Ang Lee had won Best Director honors only minutes before the announcement of Best Picture, it seemed like That Gay Cowboy Movie had it in the bag. Perhaps the Academy chose “Crash” over “Brokeback” for its incredible ensemble cast, because that’s the only leg up that the former had on Lee’s drama.
The rest of the night went down exactly as expected, with Philip Seymour Hoffman picking up the award for Best Actor in “Capote” and Reese Witherspoon winning the Best Actress award for “Walk the Line.” The complete list of winners in all of the major categories are as follows:
Best Picture – Crash
Best Director – Ang Lee (“Brokeback Mountain”)
Best Actor – Philip Seymour Hoffman (“Capote”)
Best Actress – Reese Witherspoon (“Walk the Line”)
Best Supporting Actor – George Clooney (“Syriana“)
Best Supporting Actress – Rachel Weisz (“The Constant Gardener“)
Best Original Screenplay – “Crash”
Best Adapted Screenplay – “Brokeback Mountain”
Best Documentary – “March of the Penguins”
Best Animated Feature – “Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit”
After two horrible months of bad movies, the first weekend of March is starting to look tolerable. Okay, so there’s still the Milla Jovovich sci-fi actioneer “Ultraviolet” to avoid, but besides that, there are a handful of good movies worth spending your hard-earned money on. Along with the first installment of the Russian fantasy trilogy, “Night Watch,” which goes into wide release this week, two new films about city blocks are opening: the Richard Donner-directed thriller “16 Blocks” and the Dave Chappelle documentary “Block Party.” Both movies will still only attract a certain audience, but they’re also both bound to surprise those who wouldn’t usually go to see them. Take a chance this week and check out one or the other. You’ll be pleasantly surprised…
This is what happens when the writers have no idea what they’re doing. The first half hour of tonight’s episode has to have been the most revealing portion of the series thus far. If that holds true, however, then the second half hour was the least revealing of the season. Here are the facts: Claire’s baby Aaron is sick, and Rousseau thinks he’s infected. Claire is also having flashbacks of her time spent with the Others, so she runs to Lizzie the psychiatrist for help, but the only thing she can seem to remember via hypnosis is being in a faux hospital room with Ethan giving her a mysterious vaccine shot into her tummy.
With everyone else too busy to help her (where do these people go for days at a time?), Claire enlists Kate’s help to go searching for the place where she was taken, but when they finally find it, the hidden bunker is completely vacant. What I found more interesting than any of this is what Kate discovered while exploring the bunker: a beard? Does that help explain why Zeke had a beard during their first encounter with him, and why he didn’t have one in Claire’s flashback. Or were they just planning ahead for the upcoming stage production of “Annie Get Your Gun”?
I’m really starting to grow tired of this routine that “Lost” writers Damon Lindelof and JJ Abrams have seemed to fallen into. You know, the one where they answer a single insignificant question in trade for a slew of much larger ones? We need answers, and now. If they keep this up any longer, I don’t know if people will still be around to tune in.
The price of discovering more about Kavanaugh’s past was a hefty one: Lem has officially been arrested, but not before the Big K made a royal ass out of himself in front of everyone at The Barn. Didn’t we just see this happen, like, yesterday, when CTU agent Samwise Gamgee was relieved of duty for going apeshit on “24”? I can’t decide if this behavior makes Kavanaugh look less credible or just more menacing, but one thing’s for sure: he means business. This includes running to prison lifer Antoine Mitchell for help with the investigation, but Antoine won’t dish out the dirt until Kavanaugh agrees to send the Strike Team to the same prison cell. And to think that just moments before all of this went down, Lem saved Kavanaugh from getting blown up into tiny little bits by a grenade.
The events leading up to Kavanaugh’s public breakdown weren’t all that exciting, including some bullshit case that sent the Strike Team running around town looking for some crazy El Salvadorians throwing live grenades into former drug hideouts. And with Claudette out of commission (was there even any mention of her throughout the entire episode?), Dutch teams up with Kavanaugh on a rape call involving his ex-wife Sadie (played by Amazon beauty Gina Torres), who, for the record, seems a little too shaken up from the incident. What isn’t already implied, however, is made quite clear only a few moments later when Dutch uncovers Sadie’s former history of mental illness. Um… duh! It was pretty obvious that she was a bit whacko, but did anyone really think that she was crazy enough to stick a soda bottle up her hoo-hoo (a “Scrubs” term, not mine)? Yeah, well, me either.
All in all a pretty disappointing episode, especially since it appears that the writers have given up on developing the show’s many other subplots for the time being. Remember when Danny and Julien were considered major characters? And what happened to Aceveda’s role in all of this? Is he still even a suspect in Kavanaugh’s case, and if so, when will Vic call a truce with the shady bastard? Hopefully, these questions will be answered over the next few weeks, and not left to mull over while the show is on hiatus until the mysterious mini season set to air in the fall.
