ZOOEY DESCHANEL’S ‘NEW GIRL’ FIRST TV HIT OF THE SEASON

Whether it’s on television or in the movies, Deschanel deserves to be a star. With so many cookie-cutter actresses out there, she really stands out. There’s a quality about her and a very real talent. Though I’ve never met her, I did get a chance to watch her work for a day on a film set and can testify that she’s every bit as charismatic and fetching in real life. And that voice … wow.


WHAT?!?! MICHAEL K. WILLIAMS LOST A PART TO JAMIE FOXX?

What was Quentin Tarantino thinking? Normally, I wouldn’t even come close to questioning the director’s normally inspired casting choices, but just the idea of Williams — who brought to life “The Wire’s” Omar, one of the greatest characters on the big screen or small — in the title role of Tarantino’s “Django Unchained,” makes me want to get in line for a ticket now.

Nothing against Jamie Foxx, but Williams is one of those once in a generation actors. Reportedly, Tarantino is writing a part in the film just for him. So that helps some.

Some.

CLASSIC PICK FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30

TCM:

8:00 PM ET Point Blank (1967) — A gangster plots an elaborate revenge on the wife and partner who did him dirty. Dir: John Boorman Cast: Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, Keenan Wynn. C-92 mins, TV-14, CC, Letterbox Format.

Mel Gibson did his best to recreate this classic with “Payback,” but he threw too much charm into the character, tried too hard to get us to like him. Lee Marvin, on the other hand, couldn’t give a damn whether we like him or not, which is one of the main reasons the film works so well.

From the moment you see Marvin walking through that long LAX hallway that leads you out of the airport and into the City of Angels, this killing machine is on a trajectory of violence and vengeance that not even a willing Angie Dickinson can slow. Brutal, nasty, ugly and awesome.

Oh and Angie Dickinson is about as smoking hot here as smoking hot gets.
