American comedy series in which British-born Ullman `takes on' a particular subject each episode and parodies it through various characters.
Tracey Ullman is, without doubt, a very talented performer. Accomplished actress, singer (with some hit singles to her name), dancer, comedienne, television personality - she can do it all. Assuming countless guises in this show (all convincing and some completely unrecognizable), she proves that if you were casting a film, one only need cast Ullman for ninety percent of the characters.
Unfortunately, it's the material which lets her down. Lame jokes, unfunny skits and poor writing sink what could have been a terrific series. Understandably, it's geared for an American audience, with in-jokes and a very American point of view - most of which fell completely flat in front of this Australian. In addition, her likeable characters seem to feature much less than the loud-mouthed, obnoxious ones.
Had Tracey enlisted some better writers, the show would've been a winner. Still, she performs admirably given what she's got and the show is tolerable, simply to watch Ullman's ability to portray so many characters believably.

Dante's Peak is one of those action films that doesn't have a lot going for it, but at the same time, doesn't have a lot going against it.
Pierce Brosnan plays a volcanologist who is sent to a picturesque mountain town at the base of a huge dormant volcano. He teams up with equally picturesque female mayor (Linda Hamilton) as he examines the various warning signs, alerts the appropriate authorities, is consequently disregarded and then ultimately proved correct when the mountain blows her top.
The script won't knock you over but the effects are very good and the leading characters, likeable enough. The setting is enjoyable also. And why Linda Hamilton is not a HUGE name like the likes of Julia Roberts, Demi Moore, Sandra Bullock etc., I will never know. She's always likeable, is attractive and can act. Perhaps she is typecast too much as the tough Sarah Connor-type heroine? Pity.
Overall, the film is an all-round, small winner. For an hour or two of harmless action entertainment, it's worth a go.

A lovely show centered around a middle-aged couple who spent years apart after a brief courtship and are reunited in mid-life.
It is Dench and Palmer (Jean & Lionel) who really make the show. Palmer's pleasant dry wit is particularly likeable, but it is without doubt a combined effort.
The supporting characters are all great and very engaging, particularly Lionel's free-wheeling dad, Rocky (whose catch-cry is "rock on") and his quirky house-maid, Mrs Bale who insists on serving meals at bizarre, but precise times like 12:23 and knows exactly what the weather in the English Channel is like at any given time!
How can anyone not like a show with characters like these?
When they next play the re-runs....do yourself a favour.
