  • FlickChick: In Praise of Roy Scheider (1932-2008) | Ask FlickChick | 2/12/2008
    Yeah, Jaws. Everybody remembers Roy Scheider as Chief Brody. Partly because it's impossible to imagine anyone else as the small-town family man forced to wage war on a prehistoric eating machine with only a nebbish and a psychopath as allies, and partly because the one-two punch of Jaws and Star Wars changed American movies forever. Being in Jaws — let alone being the guy who summed up the man vs. shark odds in the laconic observation, "You're gonna need a bigger boat" — eclipsed... read more

  • May 8, 2007: Bombshell | Law & Order: Criminal Intent | 5/9/2007
    Well, this one was pretty much what I expected — some really bad Anna Nicole Smith impersonation (not that there’s really a good Anna Nicole impersonation) and a few murder suspects in the form of “fictionalized” versions of the late Playmate’s various hangers-on.
