Huff: Season 1 (TV): - This is a Showtime series about a psychiatrist played by Hank Azaria. The characters are varied and quirky, and the writing is as solid as SportsNight or The Sporanos. I don’t really know how much I can really say about it without giving away details, but it’s a solid watch if you have an hour here or there. B+

Le Femme Nikita (foreign action): This has been one of my favorite movies for about 10 years, and I wanted #1GF! to check it out. I would recommend it for people who like kick ass chicks in movies, but I remember it being a lot better. Actually, I might even recommend the remake more. B-

Fun With Dick & Jane (comedy): Jim Carrey loses his job when his company tanks, and he has to resort to crime to pay his bills. It could’ve been a funny movie if they relied more on writing than on Jim Carey throwing his limbs around. Jim, the shtick was funny 10 years ago, but then again, so was Emo Phillips. C

Around the Bend (drama): It was a drama, so I thought it might appease #1GF!, and it had Chris Walken, which I thought would be enough for me. Unfortunately, the only thing worse than the movie was the soundtrack. It seemed like someone wrote an outline of a really good movie and then turned it over to the director before doing any actual writing. And if you’re going to walk me through 90 minutes of lead up, don’t hit me with a let down at the end. D

Naked Weapon (kung fu): This was the story of chicks who get kidnapped at an early age and trained to be assassins. In the first five minutes, there was a gun fight, a huge explosion, and some sweet naked boobies. Unfortunately, it all went down hill from there. The acting was laughably awful, and by the end, the fights became utterly ridiculous, although some of the fights had me blurting out “oh shit!” against my will. All in all, I would say that it might be worth a watch for hard-core kung fu fans. C+
