Riding the Bus with My Sister (2005)
Rosie's not an actress
Rosie's a bad talk show host and a terrible actress. I tried to watch this movie with an open mind but from the very beginning Rosie overacted her role. I realize that retardation takes on many different characteristics but none of them fit what Rosie was playing. She was definitely a normal brain trying to play a disconnected brain and it was futile from the beginning. I gave it a 3 but that was generous. This wasn't Dustin playing Rainman, it was Rosie playing a normal person trying to look retarded. God, I hope Hallmark sets its standards a little higher in the future and I hope the networks won't keep giving up production control to "names" with no talent.
Mind Prey (1999)
Better than average network TV production
This film had a superior plot, suspense and fine acting from the lead players. Some lines were a little trite...."all's clear at the southend"...over the radio from a surveillance cop, and some of the technical references were exaggerated but on the whole, the film was surprisingly good considering contemporary network fare. If it's rerun, get the popcorn ready and enjoy....it's worth watching.
