Movie Reviews of Boston Legal: Season Four
Movie Review: One of The Classic T.V. Series.....continues to entertain!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a picky T.V. viewer. Too much of the slop on the airwaves today (including cable!) is not worth our attention. Add to that fact that the writing seems geared for teenagers bores me to tears. Along comes David E. Kelly and his co-horts, add to the mix the outstanding cast that is "Boston Legal" and you have a winner. Comedy and Drama co-existing in a well written and well acted T.V. series that is geared towards an adult audience.
There are so many great episodes in this collection. Amongst my favorites:
1.) The Chicken and the Leg
How this made it to the airwaves is beyond me. Just keep a straight
face as the Nun, interpreting for a defendant, explains "things." If
you don't laugh out loud........have someone check your pulse.
2.) Green Christmas
An episode that is funny and poignant.
3.) Tabloid Nation
Shows the power of it's dramatic side and a little hilarious part
where Denny "sheds" tears for Shirley.
4.) The Mighty Rogues
An episode that characterizes the real and tragic world of Alzheimer's
while putting in a perspective we can all relate to.
There are, of course, many, many more fine episodes. All of which you're sure to enjoy. This is a definate winner.
Movie Review: It's Time To Stir The Pot... (Part 4 of 5)
Summary: 5 Stars
Boston Legal is a show that was always outlandish in nature. Putting together a phenomenal cast into original situations. With the fourth season ready to go it looked like it was time to stir things up.
Out of nowhere a new face enters the front in the form of the distinguished and off beat humorous John Laroquette. Carl Sack is the new hall monitor of Crane Poole & Schmidt and he is here to make these hallowed halls look like a real law firm. Well, it looks like Denny Crane and Alan Shore will have something to say about it. This season is not as light hearted as the seasons of this show in the past. This season brought a lot more depth to the friendships of these characters. Denny and Alan's friendship gets as heartfelt as it can be because Alan and all those around him are noticing that Denny's altzheimers is starting to take slight yet noticeable effects. Alan suddenly starts to conquer many of his fears from clowns to extremly aggresive ex-girlfriends. Even Jerry has become a major part of this family, not as someone who is getting into trouble, but as a true dignified laywer.
This show has yet to disappoint me, but now unfortunatly this show has ended in 2009. There is one more season for us to enjoy, but for now this 4th season is one to be savored.
Movie Review: A Pleasant Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't get to see most of these shows when they were originally broadcast, and I had wondered if the series was beginning to wear out, but no, when I did finally get the time to work my way through this fourth season I was pleasantly surprised. The wackiness was still there, and the pointed topics were still as sharp as ever. The Supreme Court episode was so clearly the manifestation of what David E. Kelley would like to say to the Court if he ever had the chance - which was pretty much what I would like to say to the Court. Outrageous, but right on target, like so many of B.L.'s episodes. I am constantly amazed at how William Shatner's character is developing over time, and Shatner's acting is wonderful. He says more with his facial expressions than many actors can say with their voices. He's come a long way from Star Trek days. While there have been some great woman characters on the show, IMO there still hasn't been a woman character who stands equal to Denny Crane or Alan Shore. Even Candace Bergan's character hasn't been written to the depth and strength of the others. But even so, this show remains one of my favorites and I have watched the DVD's through several times and haven't tired of it yet.Movie Review: Getting A Little Weird, But Still Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Between "Clarence/Clarise" taking an expanded role, and Jerry ("Hands") dating another person with a similar condition who falls in love with inanimate objects (such as an alarm clock), this series keeps getting weirder and weirder. I have got to say, somehow the writers pull it off and make it funny and relevant. I love the real-time jokes about up-to-date political happenings, and the cascading group of characters this show brings in is amazing. My only complaint is that they bring in some fantastic characters that don't last long, but their long-standing regulars are amazing in this season. The newest main character, Carl, is a fantastic addition to this series. The fun story lines in this one include a trip to New Orleans (imagine Denny in New Orleans), and a fight against the Government after finding out that Denny was mistakenly put on the no-fly list. If you have loved the series so far, you will love this one.
Enjoy!

Movie Review: SUPERB AS USUAL!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's incredible to think that ABC want to axe this show. It is funny and thought provoking. Ok so some people who aren't quite up there in the brightness stakes might find it hard at time to comprehend but this series is just as good as the rest. Spader is his usual remarkable complicated self and Denny, well, it's been a long time since television writers and producers have managed to create such a character as Denny Crane. ABC should take another look at ceasing what is delightfully referred to in one of the US papers as "both lighthearted and funny but with wit and truth that could burn through a freezer'! Excellent again. If it aint broke, don't fix it! Please guys don't end this fabulous show.
