The Mindy Project

I'll just accept this show as one of those pieces of work that I don't 'get.' Critics keep telling me to watch it because it's getting better and better. FOX keeps renewing it, but I'm just confused.

The show isn't even mediocre. It can't properly connect its storylines without dropping characters or involving characters without good reason (if the plot doesn't directly involve Mindy, then good luck making sense of it), and why do these writers get a free pass on being stereotypical, insulting, and racist, but everyone harps on a show like Dads?

I don't get it. I wish them the best of luck though and I hope the show continues to improve and find its audience. I just know I'm not it.

Extant Trailer

I wonder how this Extant mini-series will be. The trailer looked kind of melodramatic to me. I'm not really into flashy, cheap drama. Flashy, yes. Cheap, no. Halle Berry will be an astronaut who returns to Earth after a year-long trip in space. I guess she'll come back with a guest... She'll obviously be pregnant.

The Kevin Hart Train

For the moment it seems that Mr. Hart is very hot. He has proven that he can carry a movie. More importantly, he can sell a movie outside the 'urban' community (how does urban translate to blacks? Do rural blacks not count somehow?). Yes, Mr. Hart is on the rise. He's taken advantage of that momentum and positioned himself most favorably and profitably in upcoming high-profile comedies. He's even doing a movie next year with Josh Gad that sounds much like Hitch -- a Will Smith vehicle. Hart's strategy is clearly to be as broad and commercial as possible, which I think will work...if he paces himself. I'm just seeing a lot of him these days. On top of that, in every movie he's playing the same kind of character. That brash, screechy tomfoolery cowardly sort. When he plays a more subtle character, I notice that those movies don't do so well. That's a not so good thing in Hart's favor. Slowing down and choosing roles more carefully--ones that ...

"The Maze Runner" Trailer

This actually looks okay. It has a mystery. How he end up there? A somewhat clear goal and stakes. He's got to get out...or else. And is very much urgent...I think. The lead boy is all special and will lead the lesser, no-so-enlightened boys on the path out. He'll also find love? Don't know how that fits in. The cast is diverse, so that's a plus. There's a bit of implications going on, though, that I don't even want to get into.
