CHICAGO – After a delay that lasted well in excess of a year, “24” returns to FOX this Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a two-hour “special event” (they used to just be called “TV movies”) called “24: Redemption”.
CHICAGO – “Wow! I feel like I’m at a rock concert!” “Me too. It’s like I want to rush the stage!”
While overhearing this conversation between two young women at the recent Chicago opening of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” I realized there were no better words to sum up Drury Lane’s recent jukebox-blaring, toe-tapping homage to one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time.

Tommy Lee Jones gives 2 great monologues, Javier Bardem does one. The picture was beautiful. What really won it over for me was how much of the story was told through subtext. You don’t see the shoot out with Josh Brolin’s character, you just pull up and he’s dead. And there’s the woman dead in the pool. And Tommy Lee Jones is never on the screen with Javier Bardem but the amount he knows about the killer’s character is amazing. You almost get the filling that he could catch up to him, but subconsciously he’s holding himself back since everyone else in his family have died in the line of duty. And this just paints what a sad terrible world he lives in anymore.
“You have to call it. I can’t call it for you.”
