BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

IFC, 8:00 p.m. ET

They’ve finally announced a sequel to this stylized 2005 movie – one that’s scheduled to arrive in fall 2013. Many of the stars of this first drama, though, won’t take part, because a lot of characters died before the film was over. But it’s always fun to watch, party because of its visual bravado, and partly because it has a lot of interesting actors and actresses in minor as well as major roles. Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis star, but check out the supporting cast – including former Gilmore Girls Alexis Bledel (pictured), who just drove Pete crazy as a suburban siren on Mad Men.

 
  
 
 

Sundance, 8:00 p.m. ET

Patton Oswalt is wonderful, and wonderfully sincere, in this 2009 character study about a quiet nobody who finds his voice, and his passion, only when he phones in to a radio sports talk show. It may sound like an opportunity for ridicule, but this movie is up to something a lot more ambitious than that.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. This 1941 Preston Sturges film stars Joel McCrea as a director who forsakes his successful string of comedy films and hits the rails to find life’s true meaning, costumed as a hobo and searching out the truth in basic human drama. Veronica Lake co-stars, and this is one of the smartest movies ever made about Hollywood.

 
  
 
 

Oxygen, 9:30 p.m. ET

This 2002 movie isn’t good, but its stars deserve mention, and maybe a quick look, for what they’ve done lately. It’s a drama about a battered wife who ultimately fights back, and the leading roles are played by Jennifer Lopez (her career now revived because of American Idol) and Billy Campbell (his career now revived because of his role as the politician in The Killing).

 
  
 
 

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

This repeat features Coldplay as the musical guest, and Emma Stone as the guest host. She’s pretty good, and certainly game, though the writers didn’t really do her justice. The costume and photo crew did, however. She mentioned in a recent interview that one of her heroes is Gilda Radner, and one of this show’s interstitial “lobby cards” (shown in photo) features her sporting Radner’s Roseanne Roseannadanna wig – which Stone called an absolute thrill. It’s always sumthin…
