CSI: Miami (2002)
a solidly good show.
I would have to say that ever since my childhood i have wanted to be a cop and i grew up knowing a few. this show has brought back some of the... classic mystique that cop shows used to have. i think caruso does a great job at bringing back the classic tough guy role, even if sometimes it comes across as cheesy, it has some kind of Bogart-esquire touch to it. from a scientific perspective they have some very good ideas as well as developed plot lines that even I haven't been able to figure out occasionally. i think that this season they need to work more on character development, just because i feel like it has lost a little of its former self from the 1st season. rex lynn's character, tripp, has some of the best lines on that show. i really think that CBS has a great thing going here.
Julius Caesar (2002)
a fine study in character
made for TV movies are generally looked down upon, and rightly so, many of them are not as finely crafted as this one. I was quite pleasantly surprised by this film, it has a few inaccuracies, such as the non-existent Crasus who was a part of the triumvirate, however, other than this, i found it quite delightful. Sulla was perhaps one of the best villains i have ever seen, and Julius Caesar was not just the caricature he was a living breathing human. Jeremy Sisto seems to have something, though i confess i am not sure what it was. there was a great deal of vibrance and energy in the project. kudos to the fantastic director and the way he pulled together a string of events to create such a lavish and lovable movie. this sounds silly but i did cry at the end, it was so sad to see Caesar with all his good intentions killed in cold blood. if only they had added the final speech by Antony....
