Remember Skeet Ulrich?

Once knighted the second coming of Johnny Depp, Skeet went from Scream to relative obscurity to Jericho, which had a minute but rabid fanbase before getting cancelled not once but twice.

But Skeet got himself a new gig.

He’s currently in Toronto at work on a new pilot for CBS, titled Back, about a man who returns home eight years after being reported missing following 9/11.

That could be seen as in really poor taste.

Since Skeet seems like the kiss of death for any project, we wonder if this bad boy will ever see the light of day and, if it does, will it survive past a first or second season?

Miracles didn’t. Neither did Jericho. Third time’s a charm?

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
