Movie Reviews of House, M.D.: Season Two
Movie Review: The best show on TV anywhere in the world...
Summary: 5 Stars
The second season of House is indeed a very rare televisual experience. Intelligent, witty, touching and deep, yet this brilliant series never patronises its viewer.
Using a formula similar to that of CSI, with comparisons drawn from Sherlock Holmes to Columbo, House adds character developement, suspense and a cynical wit to the mix. The eponymous character, played flawlessly by Hugh Laurie, is perfect but somehow never outshines a truely inspired supporting cast.
As with the very best TV shows, self indulgency is never far away in some episodes but so absorbing is House, you actually feel you are in on the joke and never alienated.
If you thought season one was good, this is better and like all good shows, it leaves you wanting more.
House will go down as one of the pivotal TV series of the 21st century... just buy it for goddsake!
Movie Review: THE DOCTER, HOUSE
Summary: 5 Stars
"Hercule Poirot? You are some kind of dectective or something?"
"No, mon amie. I am not a detective. I am THE DETECTIVE!"
The 2nd season and 1st are the best series on any screen today. THE BEST WRITERS, THE BEST ACTORS/ACTERESSES, BEST DIRECTORS, THE BEST SUPPORTING CREW, and on, and on.
Still Hercule Poirot gathers all together at the conclusion to solve the puzzle, "Why haven't you watched House, M.D. yet?.
It is a crime most diabolical!
Yet most ingenious! Ah! When you use your little gray cells, it becomes most simple. In order to make everything come together in the perfect frame, one must look outside the frame. Ah! I see your little gray cells working. For you see that it must be you, outside the frame, looking in. They have banked on your intelligence & wit.
Movie Review: sarcasm is wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think House is the best show on network TV. Yes, that includes CSI, which has become wooden and formulaic of late. I had to stop myself from watching the whole season in one day, perhaps provoking my own visit to a doctor. Hugh Laurie is a gem; he is perhaps the best dramatic television actor working today. Not only that, but he's a scream. This show is funnier than the Simpsons, albeit in a much blacker way. The second season improves on the first by showing us some supporting character development that was lacking last year. All in all, I have no complaints about any of the episodes, but I feel the strongest was the season-ender that had House a patient in his own hospital. I can't recommend this show enough. If you start watching it, I guarantee you won't be able to stop.Movie Review: What Will House Do Next
Summary: 5 Stars
This season is even more shocking than the first. After viewing these discs, you can only speculate on what outrageous acts that Dr. House will do next. Is he motivated by is leg pain, his addiction to pain meds or just for the fun of being contrary? I think that is what makes House's character so compelling; wondering what the motivation is that makes him so intriguing and shocking. Season three which is airing on FOX network now, does not disapoint! If you do not know, Hugh Laurie is also a fanatasic comedy sketch actor. Check out seasons 3 and 4 of Black Adder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie 1 & 2, and he also wrote a book. Hugh Laurie is a great actor, he can go from silly wigs and pantaloons to a deep character with questionable ethics. Dont miss House.Movie Review: A good-looking man with only one redeeming quality...
Summary: 5 Stars
They said Hugh Laurie nailed this character in his screen test, and they were right (he wouldn't have landed it with his own English accent!). House is a good-looking yet selfish and demanding guy who has only one redeeming quality: he saves people's lives. The writing and research for the show are incredibly well done as is the acting by all involved. It's also great to see Robert Sean Leonard in a role that spans the widest range of acting abilities, from playing the tender, straight-and-narrow guy to the naive schmuck seemingly starved for House's friendship and becoming the butt of House's "practical jokes". Here's hoping for a long run! ~ Natasha
