Dave

1993, Movie, PG-13, 110 mins

starstarstarstar
A winning blend of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Being There that gives Kevin Kline the best comic role of his career. Kline plays a presidential look-alike who's asked to double for the Chief Executive for "security" reasons. When the president suffers a massive stroke at a rather delicate moment, the White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella) installs Dave in the Oval Office. Read the complete review for Dave

Ask FlickChick What was that movie about a governor who resigned because of a scandal involving prostitutesQuestion I know this is shallow but when I heard about Eliot Spitzer hiring hookers the first thing I thought of was this movie I saw about a governor who had to resign because of his relationship with a prostitute But for the life of me I cant remember who was in it or any of the details Can you help RachelFlickChick I can You must be thinking of Blaze 1989 a fictionalized version of the real-life relationship between stripper Blaze Starr played by Lolita Davidovich and Louisiana governor Earl Long Paul Newman younger brother of the notorious Huey The Kingfish Long The 62-year-old Earl Long in the third year of his third term as governor he served first from 1939-1940 then as lieutenant governor he stepped in for disgraced governor Richard Leche from 1948-1952 and his third term was 1956-1960 in 1958 or 59 met Starr then in her twenties w read more

Bill Maher Is the Real Deal

As HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher debates the issues for one last time (Friday at 11 pm/ET) before going on hiatus — fret not, the series is expected to return in late summer — we asked host Bill Maher about his show and the state of the union.

TV Guide: You're so informed. How do you prepare for a show?
Bill Maher:
Well, I spend all week preparing. People are always surprised to hear that I work a lot harder on this show than when I had an everyday show [Politically Incorrect]. When you do an everyday show, you read more

Revenge of the Amazing Race Nerds?

She's his "hottie boombody with the naughty pilates" and he's her own personal music man. Meet Lori and Dave, aka the lovable nerds from Kansas who smooched their way around the world — but didn't get to embrace victory — on CBS' The Amazing Race (Wednesdays at 8 pm/ET). TVGuide.com: So it wasn't your day in Siracusa.Lori: No, it was not, but we ran a really good leg.Dave: We just didn't get there fast enough. TVGuide.com: A lot of teams got lost in Italy. How'd you do?Dave: We weren't that lost. Lori: We were just exhausted and had a hard time staying awake. We switched drivers three times on our way to Catania, so that put us behind. And it was such a short leg that there was no way for us to catch up. TVGuide.com: Dave, you seemed a little bit read more

I nearly wept with relief when...

I nearly wept with relief when House returned Tuesday night (March 28) after a several-week absence. I hadn't yet recovered from sitting through one of the most miserable hours of American Idol — sorry, it was the worst hour I can remember. Is this century going to be the death of music as we know it? Horrid songs, rotten arrangements, and even the few singers I've liked were dull-to-dreadful.

Ugh.

Then House roared into gear with a gripping mystery leavened by some Odd Couple humor as House and Wilson (temporarily homeless thanks to his wrecked marriage) became roommates. Very Oscar and Felix, as House lay sleepless while Wilson clipped his toenails (off camera, thankfully) and blow-dried his hair. But read more

Amazing Race 9 You could argue...

Amazing Race 9You could argue that Eric and Jeremy and B.J. and Tyler are having fun because they're winning, but I think they're actually winning because they're having fun. Doing silly things like walking onto the mat backwards, flirting with the locals and having wheelchair obstacle-course races makes them relaxed and more capable of making decisions and following directions. Meanwhile, if Lake would just stop ordering Michelle around and cursing about the other teams, they might stop making dumb mistakes. Fran is my new hero for telling Lake to "Please, step back" at the ticket counter. Maybe the agents in Munich also hated the nasty dentist, since they so readily told everyone but them about the faster connection read more
