Andy Barker, P.I. (2007)
Great cast and plenty of laughs
This show is great, but so was Andy Richter Controls the Universe and that didn't make it. Conan O'Brien is an executive producer so hopefully it won't get immediately canned if the ratings' falter early. The plot feels formulaic and always ends with the likable Private Eye/ Accountant Andy involved in a chase sequence followed by a gun in his face. But the story plays with the expectations of the audience(often homaging movies), and is secondary to laughs that are naturally generated from this talented cast, especially Tony Hale. There are lots of dry and absurd humor that will fit in well on NBC Thursday Comedy Night, and also that Andy Richter is so damn lovable.
Babel (2006)
Why did he need to wait for an ambulance when they got a bus?
It's an 1 1/2 hour drive. You got the bullet wound stitched now get back on the bus. Why do you need an ambulance? They can't operate in the ambulance. The ambulance is not significantly better than being transported than by bus. Especially when you have no idea when the ambulance is coming and are spending hours waiting for it. If she died it would have been because Brad Pitt's character was slightly retarded when it comes to making a decision. The director and writer needed to further the plot so we could watch an old Morrocan woman give her water and opium. Then the audience can say look how nice Morrocans are she doesn't even know those white people and she's helping them. Why do plots in all of today's movies have to intertwine through strange coincidences. How many coincidences are too many? Maybe we should set a limit? No higher than 10? Current trend in film, young boys masturbating get used to it because this isn't the first or last time you'll see that on the big screen. In the Squid and the Whale, he wiped it some girl's locker. Wouldn't it of been funny if in Babel he wiped it on his brother. On a side note, I did really enjoy the storyline having to do with the deaf girl.
