Showgirls: Review

After an onslaught of prerelease hype promising the erotic experience of a lifetime, SHOWGIRLS revealed itself as a 131-minute dose of cinematic saltpeter. Director Paul Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas do their best (which isn't saying much) to exploit our lecherous fantasies about the women of Las Vegas, meanwhile hedging their political bets by moralizing over the deplorable exploitation of women in Las Vegas. The first teaming of Verhoeven and Eszterhas yielded 1... read more

Jeers: CSI: Miami's New Showgirl | Cheers & Jeers | 1/15/2008
Jeers to CSI: Miami for ludicrously miscasting Elizabeth Berkley as the mother of Horatio Caine's creepy teenage doppelgänger. Just when she'd finally put the twin ignominies of Saved by the Bell and Showgirls behind her, the glassy-eyed actress delivered a performance so stiff and artificial, she made David Caruso (who's rapidly turning into the new Hasselhoff) seem like Daniel Day-Lewis. Speaking of surrealism, what was with the visual gimmick that made the entire episode look like it was shot inside a beehive? This show gets weirder every week. It used to be watchable; now it's the TV equivalent of the Miami Dolphins.• Read and react to Bruce's opinions on The Wire, CSI and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more
Here's the Thing About Gina Gershon.... | Today's News: Our Take | 5/4/2006
What is it about Gina Gershon? I mean she just oozes sensuality... edginess... all kinds of things that can be wicked in excess. Even the press notes for her new film, One Last Thing (in theaters now), peg the actress as possessing "uncommon presence" — a boast that stymies even Gershon.

"I have no idea what that means. Like, I'm an alien or something?" she laughs as TVGuide.com points out her "uncommon" classification. Or, she suggests while motioning to an imaginary appendage, "It's my 'tail' that makes me different?"

Working to take an introspective look at herself, Gershon later cops to filling "uncommon" roles. "Listen, I definitely read more
FALL 2006: CASTING ABOUT | Today's News: Our Take | 2/21/2006
In other pilot casting news — and these days, there always is some — Gina Gershon (you say Showgirls; I say Bound) is set to star in NBC's Lipstick Jungle; Rachel Boston (American Dreams) has been cast in a CBS series about a young couple that moves to the woman's hometown; Kristin Lehman (Judging Amy) will star opposite Cole Hauser in the Fox legal drama Damages; and Moon Bloodgood (Eight Below) has joined ABC's Our Thirties. read more
Justice Is Served by a Nice Irish Guy | Today's News: Our Take | 2/10/2006
On ABC's mid-season hit, In Justice (Fridays at 9 pm/ET), Jason O'Mara and Kyle MacLachlan head up the National Justice Project, a group that works hard (and TV-fast!) to get wrongfully convicted people pulled out of prison. TVGuide.com spoke with O'Mara about his transition from rugby star to actor, about In Justice's upcoming controversial episode, and about — get this — the woman he and this writer have in common.

TVGuide.com: For starters, I want to say that I love the show and have it on my TiVo list. Good stuff!
Jason O'Mara: Yeah, last week's episode was good, wasn't it? We sort of felt it was a bit of a watershed for us because it read more
Elizabeth Berkley Is an Alien with Moves | Today's News: Our Take | 11/22/2005
The timing, as it would turn out, could not be better. Elizabeth Berkley's showstopper guest-starring appearance on Threshold, originally slated for earlier in November, instead will air tonight, as the CBS series debuts in its new Tuesdays-at-10 time slot. TVGuide.com was thrilled to talk up the beauty about her role in an alien invasion, the latest news about Screech plus the wildest thing she has ever done! TVGuide.com: I figure you must either be super-jazzed about your Threshold gig and/or a very good gal pal of Carla Gugino's to do press for this, seeing as how you're opening yourself up to read more
