'The Americans' Show Is Back
MATTHEW RHYS AND KERI RUSSELL came back strong in the first episode of a clever new season in 'The Americans' on FX last night. This gem of a show makes for oustanding TV in my opinion. Arresting clever-styling shines in the writing of this one for it is a shrewd ghoulash of espionage, thriller and some wily, sensual appeals as the chic denizens might say. Rhys and Russell are Soviet spies in the D.C. area of the U.S. way back when. American society was furious and tense in the rugged cold war environs that were a part of the American atmosphere in that era. Russell remains a sleek, stunning woman who manages to bring "high concept" material smolderingly to life. I figure Russell is the new Streep. She radiates lovely, mesmerizing feminine attributes that compel one to plunge right along with these merry souls into the intricate TV multi-faceted story. The people of the grand FX unit have a terrific winner in this TV saga called 'The Americans.'

'The Blacklist'
JAMES SPADER brought his A-Game to 'The Blacklist' last night on NBC. This show ignites a big helping of noir, thriller-style activity. So glad this TV gem is back. Spader and his wily cohorts are really "hip."

'Martian Child'
MR. JOHN CUSACK dominates the screen. He exudes fine star quality. Vigorous, melodious cinematic concepts explode in his crafty little film called 'Martian Child.' I love the acerbic odd tones of the very good work of the venerable John Cusack.
'Lego' Magnificent
I'M HAPPY the 'Lego' movie is doing "boffo" business. This work is quite sleek and joltingly, ultimately creative. I enjoy good art and this thing is packed with that element. Times are shiny for animated fans now.

Odd German Film Master, Fritz Lang
GERMAN MOVIES have coiling, sensuous, creative messages throbbing within thir cinematic membranes. An artful exponent of the sleek Teutonic, Germanistic movie joy happens to be in the cranium of the cunning work of febrile German director, Fritz Lang. This gentleman orchestrates film madness that gives a ribald flavor to his unusual stories. The film 'M' indicates a profound nihilistic and so Germanic profundity with its sleek movie tale of the hunt for a violent criminal in the German huge city life of the early 1930s. Lang's characters shine and yet are archaic for at the same time as their ethereal qualities one sees the succinct dullness of their mechanistic torpid brains. Interesting is the fact that in the movie called 'M' it does not resonante as just another crime story for the matter happens to be that Lang delves deeply into the weird, macabre and indeed wacky edges of characters who cavort around on so many psycho-social levels that the viewer feels that he has had a grand prime rib on his plate when he dances along through the orgasmic furor of Fritz Lang elucidating upon his oddball shall we say as the simpletons term it...stories.

The French 'New Wave'
LAST NIGHT, I watched the intricate. flippant Jean Luc-Godard film, 'Breathless.' This cinematic jewel tickles me with all its intricacies. The superlative Belmondo and the crafty Seberg represent glowing movie art in this one. Enjoy the cunning 'French New Wave' films. Put bursts of creative fire into one's life.

The Grand One...Philip Seymour Hoffman
TODAY, PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN passed. It is hard to believe he passed today at the age of 46. So terribly sad. His acting in 'Capote' was so great. It is a horrible agony when a man who is a genius leaves us.
