bad-teacher-dvdI like Cameron Diaz. I enjoyed Bad Santa. Hell, I even like Summer School. However, I don’t like all those ingredients thrown into a blender with the barest attempt at originality and the lack of any real laughs.

If you take Billy Bob Thornton‘s character from Bad Santa and put him into Mark Harmon‘s role from Summer School, then make him an aging blonde hottie obsessed with getting a boob job and tricking some rich dullard into marriage you have the script for Bad Teacher, not just the premise mind you, the entire script.

Writers Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (the comedic geniuses who are responsible for Year One) waste another talented cast by phoning in yet another suprisingly unfunny comedy. If you know how these guys continue to get work please let me know. (I’m guessing that must have some incriminating pictures of several studio heads.)

Willy Wonka

Years ago Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder), the world’s foremost creator of chocolate treats, closed his factory to the public to prevent people from stealing the secrets of his candy making. Out of nowhere the reclusive inventor ships five hidden golden tickets hidden in Wonka bars. Whoever finds a ticket will be allowed to enter the Wonka factory.

The five children include Augustus Gloop (Michael Bollner) who never saw a snack he didn’t eat, Violet Beauregarde (Denise Nickerson), spoiled rich girl Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole), and television obsessed Mike Teevee (Paris Themmen). The fifth ticket is found by Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) who lives in the slums just blocks away from the fatory with his mother (Diana Sowle) and his bedridden grandparents: Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson), Grandma Georgina (Dora Altmann), Grandma Josephine (Franziska Liebing) and Grandpa George (Ernst Ziegler). Charlie and Grandpa Joe join the others for the tour of the factory led by Willy Wonka himself. Inside they find wonders that they could not even imagine.

The First Season of Hawaii Five-0

  • Title: Hawaii Five-0 – The Complete First Season
  • tv.com: link

hawaii-five-0-first-season-dvdLast year CBS decided to reboot one of its popular cop dramas from the 1970s. Hawaii Five-O followed the adventures of the special state police force led by former U.S. naval officer Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord). The updated version of the show has proved to be a hit with both critics and audiences. And any show that gives you a built in excuse to see Grace Park in a bikini every week can’t be that bad of an idea.

After the death of his father (William Sadler) Navy Intelligence officer Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) agrees to put together a special task force to track down the man responsible (James Marsters) and solve crimes the regular police aren’t equipped to solve.

The team McGarrett puts together includes Newark Police Detective Danny Williams (Scott Caan) who has moved to the island to be closer to his daughter Grace (Teilor Grubbs), Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) a former police officer falsely accused of taking money, and Chin’s cousin Kono (Park) fresh out of the academy.
