Forrest Gump: Review

By the time FORREST GUMP swept most of the major 1994 Academy Awards, it had already become the third highest-grossing film of all time, as well as a ubiquitous pop phenomenon embracing best-selling books, gnomic catch phrases, and reams of commentary on the editorial pages of magazines and newspapers throughout the world. Clearly a great event, FORREST GUMP is not, however, a great film. It has the form of an epic without real depth or resonance; the trappings of satire wit... read more leave a comment

Forrest Gump: TV Guide News

Gary Sinise: Support Our Troops This Memorial Day | Today's News: Our Take | 5/25/2007
Think of it as "CSI: USO," if you will. When he's not solving crimes as Det. Mac Taylor on CSI: NY, Gary Sinise can often be found touring with the USO, entertaining U.S. service members around the globe with his Lt. Dan Band, the rock group named after his salty Vietnam-veteran character in Forrest Gump. On Sunday, Sinise lands in Washington, D.C., to cohost the National Memorial Day Concert (airing at 8 pm/ET, on PBS), featuring performances by Josh Turner, CeCe Winans, Natalie Cole and the National Symphony Orchestra. TVGuide.com spoke with Sinise about his impassioned work with the troops. TVGuide.com: You're cohosting the National Memorial Day Concert for a second time. What brought you back?Gary Sinise: The first time I did [the concert] was [two y read more
October 12, 2006: Grief Counseling | TV Show Recaps | 10/13/2006
"There is such a thing as good grief. Just ask Charlie Brown." Oh, Michael, how can you be so dumb and so wise at the same time? I daresay you're a veritable Forrest Gump for the mockumentary generation. After the untimely death of Michael's ironically named former boss Ed Truck, our favorite Dunder-Mifflin regional manager goes to great lengths to figure out just how sad the office would be if his capa was detated from his head in a tragic car accident. And while no one's really on board with his various attempts at grief counseling (Ryan's sad tale of his cousin "Mufasa" and the wildebeest stampede in particular had me howling), Pam shows a little compassion and helps to put on a sweetly tender funeral for a bird who flew into the building, complete with a get-it, Michael's-the-bird eulogy and Dwight's recorder rendition of "On the Wings of Love." And here's the really cool thing that I noticed this week: In Jim's absence, Pam has taken over the responsibilities of office ringlead... read more
I'm not gonna lie to you, folks:... | Today's News: Our Take | 10/13/2005
I'm not gonna lie to you, folks: This was rough. I'm not sure why ABC decided to go with this episode of Freddie Prinze Jr.'s new sitcom as the series premiere rather than the pilot, but whatever the reason, it certainly put us smack-dab in the middle of things — and not necessarily in that good, we-meant-to-do-that kind of way. Meet our hero: He's a successful head chef at a big city restaurant who's got a horndog best friend (Beverly Hills, 90210's Brian A. Green) for a neighbor and four, count 'em, four lovely ladies as his roommates. Let's see, there's the newly divorced sister and her tween-age daughter (who, I swear, says literally two words the whole half hour), the understands-English-but-speaks-only-Spanish grandmother and the boozy sister-in-law (because drunk grieving widows are hilarious!)… and that's pretty much all we know about them so far. We spent far more time getting acquainted with Freddie's girl du jour, in this case, Gina from the old n read more
