Episode Recap: "Night 2" | The Company | 8/13/2007
With another two strong hours under its belt, The Company is really shaping up to be the miniseries of the year, and one to watch out for come the next Emmy nominations. Though the second section of a three-parter often suffers a little from being necessarily transitional (see the Lord of the Rings and Bourne trilogies), this episode side-stepped that trap, starting with a tried-and-true device: Open with a shocking dramatic event — say, the capture and torture of a main character (Jack) — then fall back three days to show how we got to this point.But what looked from the previews last week to be the climax of this episode was only the beginning of the excitement. You could have made two stand-alone films out of this one’s two main set pieces: The Hungarian uprising, shot as a bloody gun battle in an urban wasteland, and the botched Bay of Pigs invasion, a full-scale beach-storming under cover of darkness that rivaled any Hollywood war movie. While "Night 1" was... read more
Episode Recap: "Night 1" | The Company | 8/6/2007
Let me start off with a disclaimer: I’m not familiar with the Robert Littell novel of the same name on which The Company is based. However, based on the Internet buzz, I know a lot of fans of the book have been very much anticipating this miniseries. So what I ask of you, readers, is that you be as understanding as you can about my lack of foreknowledge, while still feeling free to tell me what’s what when I get it wrong. Thanks in advance. [end disclaimer]Well, we're only a third of the way in, but so far, I like what I'm seeing. Even abridged as it must be for TV, this is clearly a complex, multilayered story. The Company is juggling a large cast of international characters who are constantly double- and triple-crossing each other, but thankfully, I didn't have to strain too hard to keep it all straight. I don't know if the novel's focus was so squarely on the characters of Jack (Chris O'Donnell) and Yevgeny (Rory Cochrane), but the friends-turned-enemies situation set... read more
Grey's Visit Lands Chris O'Donnell in Very Good Company | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 8/3/2007
Despite having more than a dozen films under his belt at the time ? from the serene (Circle of Friends) to the bombastic (Batman Forever) ? the gig that Chris O'Donnell credits with putting him in The Company, TNT's three-week, six-hour miniseries about the early CIA (premiering Sunday at 8 pm/ET), was his turn as a dreamy (though not McDreamy) veterinarian on Grey's Anatomy. "I had a fantastic time doing it, and I think I got a good 'pop' off it," O'Donnell says, fondly recalling his run as .. read more
Spice Girl Hauls Reluctant Babydaddy Eddie Murphy into Court | Today's News: Our Take | 8/2/2007
Yesterday Scary Spice filed a petition in Superior Court to legally establish ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy as daughter Angel's father and to get him to cough up some damn child support already. The baby, said the singer less frequently known as Melanie Brown, "will always know that she was planned and wanted by both of us." At least for the short while it took to conceive her. In other baby news, yesterday on Today, Chris O'Donnell revealed that he and his wife Caroline Fentress are expecting their fifth — yes, fifth — child. "We're just starting to figure out how it works," he said. "I think I know why this is happening." Well, like my mama always said, acknowledging the problem is the first step toward solving it. read more
