I have seen the first two parts of Sci-Fi Channel's The Lost Room starring Peter Krause, and I can't wait to see the third one tonight! I'm not sure what about it is so good - the writing, the acting, or what - but it's really captivating. To give you an idea of how good it is, I am going to watch Part 3 tonight instead of watching CSI:NY which is about a deaf family - I'm giving up a deaf show for The Lost Room! If you missed the first two parts, they will probably rerun them plenty of times. The third part starts tonight at 9:00pm.
I caught Species on TV last night. I'd never seen it before; I'm not sure I need to see the follow up.
How can an all-star cast - okay, Ben Kingsley - star in something like this? The man has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth, he's won an Oscar award for Best Actor...surely he's better than this, right? But apparently this isn't the first time he's taken questionable roles, as he's been nearly nominated for Razzie Awards a couple of times.
Anyway, I would have liked to see much more of the younger Sil, played by Michelle Williams. I realize the alien was supposed to age quickly, but I wish we could have seen a bit more of her in the observation chamber, and perhaps a bit more of her interactions with people before she grew up. Then again, I was watching this on basic cable, so for all I know there was more to it.
