Melinda and Melinda and Melinda

I watched a lot of Melinda tonight. One very good and two pretty good.

First was another great episode of Ghost Whisperer. Jennifer Love Hewitt is Melinda, and she can see ghosts. The show is fantastic. Its CBS's replacement for Joan of Arcadia, and I love it. Tonight's episode was right on par.

The other Melindas were Woody Allen's film Melinda and Melinda. This was a movie with a great premise that is a pretty good finished film. Its not as good as I hoped it would be, but still pretty good.

A couple of writers are sitting around arguing over Comedies and Tragedies and which are more significant in the world.

So they are given a brief scenario and asked to turn it into story. One tragic and one comic. We get to watch the two movies happen together. They alternate between one movie to the other and back and forth. It was pretty cool. One thing though, I was far more interested in the Comedic version than the dramatic one. The tragic was way too tragic. The Comedic was also kind of serious. Both being a little more dramatic than they are supposed to be creates a problem for the tragedy. However it leaves the comedy as a much more balanced movie.

The other thing is that Will Farrell is in it. And I HATE him. I, once again, hoped that this would be a Will Farrell performance that I liked. And......it was ok. He wasn't too bad. A little annoying, but not so bad.

Overall, a pretty good night for Melindas though. And a productive night for the Tom and Steph movie watching team.
