Crack that whip!
You can’t keep a good man down. So, a good 10 years after his last outing, Indiana Jones himself is out of mothballs and back in search of high adventure. With the Hollywood triumvirate of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford back on board, viewers can rest relatively assured of some serious summer movie […]
Everything old is new again
“Million Dollar Password”Sunday 8pm, CBS Regis Philbin is back, people! And he’s about to show Howie Mandel how a real man hosts a game show. Lest we forget, Reeg caught lightning in a bottle back in 1999 with “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” (The answer: apparently, every middle-aged, middle-class Midwesterner.) Can he do so […]

Golden oldies
In the world of documentary filmmaking, it’s rare to come across a story containing more than mere topical analysis tinged with one or more of the following: hip music, radical activism, gratuitously artistic shots, dry humor and/or cool graphics. Absorbing human drama tends to be more elusive and reserved for works of fiction, while the […]
Finale, finally
“American Idol”Tuesday and Wednesday 8pm, Fox I dropped “Idol” this year before it hit the Top 10; I think it was the second Beatles week that turned me off the show for the first time since Season 3. It’s not that the kids this time were untalented. But…they were unlikable. I mean, as human beings. […]
