BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

MOVIE PREMIERE: This is not a recommendation. This new Netflix movie, basically, is a comic spoof of The Omen – a horror comedy about a guy (Adam Scott) who marries a woman whose six-year-old son may turn out to be the Antichrist. The only real reason to watch is that the woman is played by former Lost star Evangeline Lilly – but Little Evil wouldn’t have been that surprising, or funny, 40 years ago, had it been released on the heels of The Omen. Today, it’s too Little, and much, much too late.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

TCM is throwing an end of summer beach party, with a night of beach films beginning with 1963’s Beach Party, starring Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. There’s no Where the Boys Are on board, but at 10 p.m. ET, another Avalon-Funicello pairing, Muscle Beach Party, is televised. It, too, was released in 1963. These movies didn’t take long to make.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

This new installment, about Boyhood director Richard Linklater, portrays him as a persistent but malleable movie individualist – going his own way, and making his own rules, but basically going wherever the flow, and the opportunities, take him. It’s an interesting study, and the contemporaneous interviews, with Linklater and his many devoted stars (Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke among them), are the best part. For full reviews, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower and Roger Catlin’s TV Eye. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

HBO, 11:30 p.m. ET

Written and directed by Dayna Hanson, tonight’s episode of Room 104, called Voyeurs, is the most interesting, and unusual, to date. Starring Dendrie Taylor and Sarah Hay, it’s about a housekeeper who envisions, with an increasingly fervid imagination, the life of the occupant of the room she’s cleaning. It’s a story told entirely in dance – and in time, her solo turn becomes an evocative, emotional duet.

Ne saka ama. Sizi gösterisli bonus vaatleriyle cezbediyorlar, sonra da üzerinize imkansiz kurallardan olusan bir duvar örüyorlar. Burada zamaninizi bosa harcamayin.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.

Insanlarin zamanini çaliyorlar. Üyelik, onay, belge derken bonusu almak mucize.

Ayni vaatlerle onlarca site var, ama bu site özellikle kötü. Hem yavas hem de güven vermiyor.
