Why is it that some of the very best films can not get into more theaters and reach a broad audience across the States. Here we rented Sweet Land with Elizabeth Reaser from Greys Anatomy etc and loved it. Finally, a movie that without all the puff about real love and dedication. Sure its about a mail order bride in the 20’s, but she had time to back out. In fact, the whole movie is the struggle of the bride obtaining her citizenship and hence be married to the hard working Norweigen. The movie touches on our biases of people from other lands to yet another banker foreclosing on yet another farm not making enough to pay the mortgage. Wow has Ned Beatty grown old yet still very effective. The budget was only a million and had they only found a distributer that had the muscle to put it in more theaters.

I tried to watch the new game show starring William Shatner “Show me the Money” and it was awful. It appeared to be strip club meets Deal or no Deal. They have girls come out and dance around the stage, and then hang out in these areas on the stage with what looks like a stripper pole in the middle. Then the contestants, come up and answer a question, and then choose one of the ladies to reveal an amount of money they are holding. The contestant needs to get 6 questions right in order to collect the money, or get 6 wrong to loose it all. The pot of money can either grow or decrease depending on whether they get the question right, and the amount of money that is revealed. William Shatner, is better suited for the Star Trek and Priceline commercials that he is at hosting a game show.

It was like one of those weird shows where you know it is a waste of time, but you have to what train wreck is going to happen. I am sure it will stay on for a while, mainly because of the beautiful women they have dancing on stage. If only Mr. Shatner could say “Beam me up Scottie” and save us all the msiery.
