Melody: Review

OLIVER! star Mark Lester plays Daniel Latimer, a preteen who falls in love with and decides to marry a young girl his age (Tracy Hyde). They inform their parents of their plans despite the pleas of an older friend (Jack Wild, another OLIVER! veteran). The plot isn't very convincing, but the actors' charming innocence more than makes up for it, and a plus for Bee Gees fans is a fine score performed by the group that sounds nothing like SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER and includes "Teach... read more leave a comment

There's another episode next week?... | Today's News: Our Take | 9/29/2005
There's another episode next week? Really, guys? 'Cause, um, the summer TV season was over a few weeks ago, and you're not up against reruns anymore. I guess another hour of dance would be great, but you just know it's going to be 10 minutes of dance to 50 minutes of Lauren Sanchez drawing out the suspense before they reveal the winner. I don't know how it's going to be more surprising than tonight's big upset: judges' favorite Blake getting the boot before Jamile and Nick. I'm thrilled, though. Nick has all of Blake's skill with none of his cockiness, and he's got so much ahead of him. He even kind of showed up Jamile in their hip-hop duet tonight.

I was glad Angel didn't give up... | Today's News: Our Take | 8/18/2005
I was glad Angel didn't give up on this show until the night the actual dancing began. And then I sat through over half an hour of "getting to know everyone's sob story" without even the benefit of "lyrical" choreography. By the way, I'm not alone in being baffled by that category of dance. My sister Gabrielle, a dancer for 14 years, hadn't heard of it either. "It looks like modern," she shrugged. She actually called me from Florida in the middle of Ryan and Melissa's mambo because, well, they suddenly made the show worth talking about. Neither of them had much experience in the genre, and everyone was worried about Ryan's hedgehog hair getting in the way, but they totally pulled it off like pros. Dan's weird summation of the performance as "badass" led to the quote of the night from Nigel: "Nothing touches a badass?" And as much as I want to hate selfish Blake, he and Destini were totally in their element and made all that rolling on the floor read more
