Monk: Mr. Monk and the Candidate (2002)
A REFRESHING COMBO OF GOOD WRITING, GOOD ACTING, AND JUST PLAIN GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
In my opinion, Monk is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. The main characters, detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub), and his friend and personal assistant, Sharona Fleming (the very talented yet underrated Bitty Schram) are very likeable and well-drawn. More importantly, the episodes are very well-written and highly amusing. I definitely recommend it.
Swept Away (2002)
1 OF MADONNA'S BEST MOVIES, NO MATTER WHO TELLS U OTHERWISE
Swept Away is definitely one of Madonna's best movies. She's perfect in the role, and she seems to have really enjoyed it. She proves that, yes, she can act, and she also can make you laugh and cry. I found the movie enjoyable from start to finish. I don't know what the critics were complaining about. True, not every critic hated the movie, but enough did, and the bad publicity more than overshadowed the good. The movie makes very good use of its one and a half hours, and it goes along smoothly. I was expecting it to be longer and would not have minded one bit if it had been. I did not enjoy this movie ONLY because I am a Madonna fan; I enjoyed it because it is a genuinely good movie. I have seen it twice already and will see it many more times. I highly recommend Swept Away. Give it a chance. And give Madonna a chance, too. She deserves it.
