5-0 out of 5 stars NAMI Media Award Winner
NAMI: The Nation's Voice on Mental Illness (www.nami.org) honored this movie with a 2001 Outstanding Media Award. it's excellent. A non-stereotyped portrayal of a person with mental illness and an at times difficult, but loving relationship with her sister. A true story. Book by the same name. It both opens minds and entertains. Great acting by Kathy Bates: an informative contrast to her role in the movie Misery.

A show so popular with its core audience that it runs in syndication even though only 19 episodes were made, My So-Called Life was the world's first introduction to actress Claire Danes (Romeo & Juliet, Home for the Holidays, The Mod Squad), who played the lead character Angela. In "Dancing in the Dark," Angela daydreams during science class, recalling the few times she's been kissed. She's been thinking about Jordan Catalano, a handsome boy who seems out of her reach. Her spunky and out-of-control friend Rayanne decides to throw the two together by getting Jordan to drop by Brian Krakow's house, where Angela and Brian (who has a crush on Angela) are doing a science project for extra credit. Meanwhile, Angela's parents try to rekindle their marriage-worn affections by taking up ballroom dancing. While both Angela and her parents muddle through their experiments with romance, viewers are treated to a well-written, shot and edited show, which set the pace for all hour-long teen oriented programs to come.

"Guns and Gossip" continues with the parallel story structure of "Dancing in the Dark." Brian Krakow witnesses a gunshot in the hallway at school. As word passes, Brian becomes more and more of a legendary figure. While he is pressured by school officials and uptight parents to identify the person involved, Angela has to contend with rumors that she slept with Jordan Catalano. Boys start looking at her differently, and she finds herself at delicate odds with Jordan. Less about romance and more about teenage issues, "Guns and Gossip" is a sophisticated intertwining between the power of rumors and the truth of actual events. --Shannon Gee ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Witless, charmless, unimpressive. Except for Hamlin's abs.
Truly awful, this. Bacall has all the subtlety and comic timing of...well, Lauren Bacall when miscast and misdirected. John Mahoney has some redeeming moments, and Harry Hamlin (in the John Barrymore role) isn't really half-bad; once you accept that his character would do shirtless stomach crunches to impress his young girlfriend. (Sure, Barrymore was brilliantly hammy...but never beefcake. Nobody ever asked to see HIS abs.) All in all, an embarrassment that isn't even Bad Campy Fun. It's just Bad.

1-0 out of 5 stars WHAT were they thinking?
Whoever took it into his mind to do a TV-movie version of the classic 1933 Dinner at Eight should be lashed until he faints. Badly-cast and ineptly re-written, this horror is actually painful to behold. If this is the only version of Dinner at Eight your video store has, then for goodness sake just read a book tonight.

4. My So-Called Life: "Father Figure," "The Zit"

Although the television show My So-Called Life ran for a mere 19 episodes, its popularity has lived on in syndication, various Web sites (that include fan fiction and episode analysis), and home video. Volume 3 of the video series includes the episodes "Father Figure" and "The Zit." In "Father Figure," Angela's father Graham, who was considering having an extramarital affair, senses that Angela is beginning to pull away from him. He tries to remedy this by giving her and her friend Rayanne Grateful Dead tickets. While Rayanne (who doesn't know her father) is joyous, Angela, who is suspicious, wants nothing to do with the tickets and decides to scalp them. Angela's mother Patty is also struggling with her own father who doubts her ability to run the family business. When the business is audited by the IRS the same night as the concert, fathers and daughters clash as they try to equalize their relationships.

In "The Zit," the sophomore girls top-40 list is released at school. While Rayanne is deemed "most slut potential" and Angela's estranged friend Sharon is voted "best hooters," Angela's only award is a big pimple on her chin. As her self-esteem shrinks, Patty insists she participate in the yearly mother-daughter fashion show, coaching her on "how to look your best." Although Patty has always been told how pretty she is, her own insecurities on aging have projected onto fixing up Angela, who feels she will never live up to her mother's expectations. Bess Armstrong, who plays Patty, gives a complex performance here and Angela and Sharon exchange harsh words in a scene that rings true to life. --Shannon Gee ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars might even be 5
This movie is a good watch. Selleck is perfect for the part and the rest of the cast is excellent. There is a scene later on it the film that is worth the price of admission in itself! Laura Linney,Faye Dunaway,Nancy Travis and Teri Hatcher together in a room talking about the man is one of those moments you watch movies for.Besides the cast and the humor and the politics this is afeel good movie.Watch it.

4-0 out of 5 stars A great political film.
I had first seen this film on TNT and I liked it immediately. When I found out it would be released on DVD, I got it right away. I was surprised but glad that the film is presented in a widescreen format. The film had a great cast which gave good performances. The film's humorous moments were also enjoyable. This movie can be compared to the film "The American President" and the series "The West Wing". This is one of the best films ever made. I think that this film is really worth watching.

5-0 out of 5 stars Running Mates - a TNT original Movie
Having now seen "Running Mates", I can offer a few thoughts. While talking about the film in earlier interviews, Tom Selleck stressed that It should not be seen as competition for "West Wing" and the like but rather as light entertainment ("Capra-esque") with a political backstory. Selleck, in his own laid back way, is capable of just the required touch to make his character work. He seemed at times tired but any candidate at that stage of his campaign would be...the fact remains that integrity shines out from everything he says and does. As to the rest of the cast..... Nancy Travis had her most powerful scene early on in the limo. Fiery and moving... Laura Linney (The Truman Show) as campaign manager had the most prominent role, second only to Selleck and took full advantage of it. Faye Dunaway is an accomplished actress of long standing and she handled the emotional role of Meg Gable brilliantly. Which leaves Teri Hatcher's Shawna. Her Hollywood liason is not based on any particular person in showbiz but Shawna is surely everyone's idea of what the leader of a Hollywood Coalition would be. She showed talent as a light comedy actress, also in a dramatic scene with Selleck and in the later powder room scene. Someone mentioned that the ending in the conference hall was predictable but emotionally satisfying....my feelings exactly. An excellent TV movie. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This show was simply better than television.
It was cancelled because america and the networks were not willing to listen to the loyal veiwers and critics who understood just how special this show really was. No show, other than this one, has ever come so close to trully describing life as an average teen. It showed the emotion of life at home and at school with a brilliant cast of actors who were able to really put themselves in their roles. The moods, the settings, the events felt so real that it was almost like walking back into highschool. This review may sound like to much to believe, but I have never seen a show like this on television since. I can only hope someone decides to put as much time into future works. The series may become a sort of a cult classic in time, but those of us who trully loved it understand the power of brilliant writing, bueatiful scenes , and the trully wonderful cast that made this show so good. Each episode is a lesson and a reminder of what it was like to be a teen. There are few shows on TV that were good enough to be something more that a series of episodes. The creators painted a picture of life for us to view with all of its reality, emotion, drama, anxiety, happiness and pian. For the people who do not understand its attraction to obsession I must ask, what was your highschool life like? This was mine. I thank them for reminding me just how real and emotional a time it was.

5-0 out of 5 stars Mscl is the most realistc teen series ever.
MSCL is the the best teen series ever. This gripping and heartfelt show left millions of young people like me changed for life. THis is truly the most realistic and honest series ever on tv and it crushed millions of fans worldwide when it was canceled and we are very pleased to be able to re-witness this truly remarkable show agian and agian! it gets better every time, we only wish that we could have all the episodes!

5-0 out of 5 stars My So-Called Life
My So-Called Life was a great show, that actually caught my attention to watch it. Claire Danes is a wonderful actress, and she can play any role very well. This show was NOTHING like cheezy shows such as Dawson's Creek, it was'nt some fake teen melo-drama that was so completely fake and stupid that it made you want to change the channel. This show was great, and it should'nt have been cancelled. It showed what every day teenagers go through and how they act. I recommend watching this and seeing for yourself how great it is.

sorry- this is not a review- please ask the producers of this video to make it in PAL (or whatever the U.K format is) I would buy them all then

5-0 out of 5 stars MSCL Rocks
Dude, Like MSCL Rocks and it's so awesome that we can finally watch it on video (since it's oh so premature knock off the air *sob*) nevertheless, we must make due with what they give us and Reruns it shall be. Thanks for selling these awesome tapes. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars My so-called Life was one of the best teen dramas on TV !
The Tv stations who canceled it were crazy!! It was one of the few shows that teens could truly relate to because it didn't have everything to do with, hair clothes and who great your body was like 90210 does not too mentoin other shows on tv!

5-0 out of 5 stars I don't even have a like life.
I loved this episode of "My So-Called Life". Jordan finding the letter that Angela wrote him, but not intending to give to him, is wonderfully romantic. It brought Angela and Jordan closer together. They formed a bound because of Angela's caring words of support. And they shared their first real kiss. Though confusion in the end left Angela heart broken, it was only an intermission of things to come. ... Read more
