    Shameless

    Anyone catch this tonight? Seems like it might be a good one.

    A US remake from the brilliant UK series. I'll be really interested to see how the US version fairs out. William H. Macy really does look the part in the promo pic I saw.

    If the show remains true to the original's roughness, grittiness and hard hitting honesty - it should be great. If it's toned down or softened in any way, I'd be dissapointed for the American audience.

    It really is a fantastic show, over here.

      Oh it's extremely gritty and hard hitting. Showtime usually doesn't tone down anything from what I've seen

        After watching a few episodes I have to say it sure doesn't seem like they are babying anything up to look more tame. I'm quite hooked though it's an intriguing show with a lot of depth to the story.

                I watched quite a few episodes of Californication, House of Lies, and Shameless last weekend to get up to speed again. I am hooked on all 3. I needed a shower or two to wash the filth off of me, lol. Should be interesting to see these shows develop this year.

                This is season 3 of Shameless, isn't it? or is it 4?

                  Yes this is season 3. And I to love all 3 shows! Shamless is probably number 1 for me, and a tie between House Of Lies and Californication for number 2 spot.

                    Rotel to McIntosh
                    by RotelGuy
                    Hi, I have some Rotel equipment and been very happy with them. I always like the meters and lights and build quality of the McIntosh looks. I've read forums where people say that McIntosh is out of Rotel's leauge and McIntosh is far better and superior. This sent me down a path of really wanting...

                    The Deal is no big deal
                    by George Bellefontaine
                    William H. Macy is a fine actor and I have enjoyed most of what he has done. But in The Deal, of which he wrote the screenplay and co-produced, everything just came off flat for me. Macy is a down and out film producer who is pretty good at scamming things and ends up with a greenlight on a film written...

                    by George Bellefontaine
                    Stars William Macy as a fellow with such bad luck that a casino bigwig ( Alec Baldwin) hires him to go to any table where someone is hot at winning. He just stands bside them and their luck changes. But he meets a cocktail waitress ( Maria Bello) and that's when his life takes a dramatic change, and...

                    JP III review
                    by Andrew Pratt
                    I found this review on the canoe site and thought I'd paste it. I'm not surprised by any of the reviews on JPIII but I'll still see it anyway. I guess I'm a sucker for dino's

                    As kooky as it may sound there is a strange symmetry between the "Jurassic Park" and the "Jaws"...
