Gave "Mildred Pierce" a shot last night, and as Ellen Gray noted it's a first-rate production, but I had a hard time getting into it.
About the second time James LeGros crawled on top of Kate Winslet after removing her old lady underwear, I started to get a very strong urge to watch "Hawaii Five-O," and eventually gave in.
"Five-O," by the way, is definitely a show for the generation that's grown up in the shadow of the new Wall Street. Last night, the gang stole $10 million in confiscated drug money in order to ransom a colleague, after about ten seconds of moral reflection.
