Amy: Review

AMY
starstarstarstar
An earnest attempt to fob off a sentimental and rather silly melodrama as a gritty piece of urban realism, partially redeemed by good performances and some amusing (if cliched) supporting characters. Tanya Rammus (the great Rachel Griffiths, without whose coiled-spring intensity the film would be all but intolerable) is a single mom whose eight-year-old, the titular Amy (Alana De Roma), is both deaf and mute. When we first encounter them they're hidden away on a farm in the A... read more leave a comment

  • Big Brother: All-Stars Preview! | Today's News: Our Take | 7/6/2006
    Voyeur alert!

  • I came across the annual ... | Matt Roush | 7/3/2006
    Question: I came across the annual Dream Emmy Ballot in TV Guide recently and saw that once again you picked Lauren Graham as an Emmy nominee for best leading comedy actress! Why do you always keep nominating her every year, when you probably know that the Emmy voters won't? In my opinion, I don't think that she deserves to be nominated this year because: 1) Both WB and UPN are shutting down this year to form CW, which will probably leave most of the deserving and incredible shows from the two soon-defunct networks completely out of the Emmy race; 2) The previously concluded season of Gilmore Girls was probably the worst season creatively for that show; and 3) Amy and Dan Palladino have left the show. Now, don't get me wrong: I love GG and Lauren Graham, as well as the rest of the talented cast, but I don't want you guys at TV Guide to get your hopes up too high every year! Answer: So what you're really saying here is that you don't want us to get our feelings hurt. That's actually kind ... read more
  • Clinton, Jon Stewart in Puzzling New Film | Today's News: Our Take | 6/22/2006
    What's an eight-letter word for a star-studded new documentary? Wordplay, going into wide release this Friday, offers a compelling look at Will Shortz, editor of the New York Times' venerable grid, and the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. Along the way, such famous faces as former President Bill Clinton, Daily Show host Jon Stewart, filmmaker read more
  • So the bomb has dropped on ... | Matt Roush | 4/24/2006
    Question: So the bomb has dropped on what's been, personally, expected for months — that the Palladino wife-and-husband team, Amy and Daniel, are leaving Gilmore Girls. Part of me is sad. She created this brilliant show and the pair have probably written over half the episodes. But part of me is hopeful that someone on the Gilmore writing/producing team will hopefully be able to turn the show around, after this lackluster season, for its supposed last hurrah! What do you think of this whole event? Answer: My gut reaction is sadness, that it's a shame that Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino won't see this show, which is such a singular vision and which is so entwined with their voices, through to its natural conclusion. (Which I have to think will be a year from now. The fact that they appear to have been holding out for a two-year extension can only be characterized as hubris.) Gilmore Girls has been such an oddball show this season. I love it — the tone, the language, the ... read more
  • Deal or No Deal You know what... | Today's News: Our Take | 12/22/2005
    Deal or No DealYou know what would be fun? If the contestants had to dress up in silly costumes like they did on Let’s Make a Deal. That might help this show shed its overly dramatic image. Howie almost had that bemused look that Monty Hall used to have when he could just tell that the people were making a crazy gamble. Howie shook his head and seemed totally flabbergasted when Daryl turned down a decent amount of cash for a long-shot chance at half a million dollars. I know I’ve complained about the families, and trust me it annoyed me to no end when they got Amy’s little kids on the phone to find out what they thought... as if they had a clue what the heck was happening. However, I have to say that I liked Daryl’s brother, who in a weird way — perhaps read more
