I, Max (2004)
One of, if not the, best (sports) shows ever
I, Max is absolute entertainment. Max Kellerman (formerly of Around the Horn on ESPN) is the host, and he truly believes he knows everything. Through half the show, he will argue with Michael Holley (may recognize him from Around the Horn as well.) on topics thrown out by "hairy judge" Bill Wolff (Also from Around the Horn - Disembodied Voice). They normally argue for 12 rounds and Wolff awards a point to who he believes is the winner of the argument. After the first four arguments, they will make a game out of the next three(Instant Replay, Lie Detector, I,Max Court etc.) In one segment, he will argue on a topic with a famous sports star or broadcaster, and then battle it out with e-mails from people making any sport statement. At the end, if Max wins, Wolff will read fan mail to Max "pomping his circumstance." If Max loses, Wolff will read hate mail on Max. It is good to see Max back on TV, as I was very upset with Around the Horn when he left. Kellerman, Holley, and Wolff have terrific chemistry together and basically mock each other in every way possible. They are like the new age three stooges as they all have something that distinguishes themselves to be mocked about. Max has a funny beard, Wolff is hairy, and Holley is a 30 somethin year old man with braces, dreads, and a nose ring. Plus the fact that Holley works in Boston and Max is an avid Yank fan makes the arguments even more fun.
10/10, one of the most entertaining shows.
Cellular (2004)
Great acting, great action, an enjoyable movie
Cellular is a very enjoyable movie about Jessica Martin(Basinger, most recently of 8 Mile), a 10th grade science teacher who gets kidnapped at her home. for something she does not know about. Main Baddie Greer(Statham, Transporter, Snatch.) plays his role well as he can pull off being a bad ass in any movie. Greer throws Jessica into an attic and smashes the phone with a sledge hammer, however Jessica is able to piece the phone together and get in contact with a 20-something slacker named Ryan(Evans, The Perfect Score).
Ryan does not believe it when it happens, but finally takes his time to give the phone to a police officer (Macy, who is the best in the movie). From here on out, there are great car scenes and big twists that are exciting for any moviegoer. Not very high on sense, but great fun. If you aren't a big fan of movies barely missing some sense, come for the acting. Statham, Macy, and Evans will entertain you and give you your money's worth.
Basinger's whining gets a little irritating, but she saves herself in the end.
Overall - 9/10
