Bad Boys

1995 answered the question of whether or not two black television stars could launch a successful franchise built largely on action sequences and recycled themes and plots from the genre. The film was a commercial success earning back more than three times its budget domestically and quite a bit more overseas and spawned three sequels over the next three decades. Whether or not these two can eventually make a good movie together is still a question that nearly 30 years later has yet to be answered.

Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival

Monk Monday takes us back to San Francisco and the toils of the defective detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub). “Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival” offers another unusual murder for Monk to solve. While working through his reinstatement hearing, Monk agrees to help Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) with a death at the local carnival involving a cop (Stephen McHattie) known to shade outside the lines. The pro quo assumes Stottlemeyer will recommend Adrian for reinstatement, something he struggles with in front of the committee and eventually balks under the justification Monk isn’t ready to carry a gun (this will be an argument suggested against Monk’s reinstatement over the series, although the possibility of reinstatement and giving him desk duty, effectively solving the problem, is never discussed).
