Moviegoers are in for an unusually manly month from mid-January to mid-February, with at least six guns-and-gangster films scheduled for release.
Mark Wahlberg, since the splendidly silly The Other Guys, has morphed into a comic actor and it’s paying dividends – certainly better than dim actioners such as Max Payne.
Matthew McConaughey, after his louche turn in Killer Joe, once again excels as an ageing, preening stripper in Steven Soderbergh’s lightweight drama.
The resurrected Dallas is riddled with far too many pretty people (Jesse Metcalfe, Julie Gonzalo) but it’s still the old stagers – Sue Ellen, Bobby Ewing, and, of course, the reptilian JR Ewing (Larry Hagman, still wonderful) – who make these slickly packaged episodes of oil skullduggery compelling.
A TV show DVD set represents more than a holiday gift that’s easy to wrap. It also demonstrates respect: you know the recipient is mentally fit and couch-ready for a viewing marathon of “Dr. Who” or “House.”
