Heat 2: The Depression
I had been looking forward to this one for a long time. I came away pretty underwhelmed. It wasn't a bad movie. I just expected a lot more. The DV looked like shit. The character development was virtually nonexistent.

I think it qualifies as a "popular movie with special replay value."

I vote no on Deep Cover, BTW. My interest in that movie was piqued when I had it playing in the background while I was working on the computer. I didn't actually watch any of the movie, but I heard Lawrence Fishburne's smooth voice overs about blasting fools and came to the natural conclusion that the movie must be

Hey look, a giant hipster douche.

I'm just glad we finally got past those five weeks of cartoons.

Also, his wife has really big coconuts.

Mos Def ruined 16 Blocks.

Ice-T definitely deserves mention for "Surviving the Game."

I left my heart in San Francisco
That Tony Bennett story made me laugh. I can just imagine the pained look on his face: "Thousands of times. Thousands of times." Being a star must offer endless reminders of how unoriginal and annoying most people are. A bunch of broken records offering the same unclever in-jokes. Just

I started watching Conan shortly before Andy left the show. At the time, I remember thinking it suffered in his absence (although it gradually recovered). I'm glad he's coming back.
