I remember first watching the vaunted Siskel and Ebert review show when it was aired on BBC2 in England. As esteemed as they were, I couldn't help but feel that most of their reviews went along the lines of dismantling every part of the film then saying "but I liked her hat so that's a thumbs up from me".
Here is my quick homage to that memory via NBC's new action-comedy Chuck.
It is executive produced by McG, the first episode is directed by McG.
Ok so I didn't need to dismantle every part of it to find some negatives big enough to send most people running before the credits finished.
As I frantically searched for the DVD remote to end things before my eyes bled from slow-mo and crash zooms I stopped and said out loud "Hold on, is that Adam Baldwin?"
And lo, it was Adam Baldwin.
Adam Baldwin in a recurring role as a cantankerous, deadly, ruthless NSA agent in a pissy yet flippant mood.
Thumbs up.
