Slick and Sleek Here's the deal on the movie Fracture:
it is is sleekly, done beautiful looking and provides a good workout with Master Devious himself, Sir Athony and the exploding Ryan Gosling. Anthony Hopkins is a very successful guy who, when all others are confused, can point his finger at the basic flaw in a complicarted jet engine etc. He's brilliant, the smartest guy in the room, except... His wife is cheating on him, so he kills her and plans to get away with it. Into this scheme come assistant DA Gosling, a hotshot on his way out of the DA's office to the glamorous,sexy and high paying world of corporate law, but first he has to handle this little slam dunk murder case(sounds like I'm giving too much away, but im not). It turns out o be a slam...but no dunk. It becomes a cat and mouse game and while there are some key moments where you might say,"oh come on" it all works. LA has never looked better, in fact, I wish director Greg Hoblit ( who's really good at this kind of movie) would have lingered a little longer on some of the views. So you've got Hopkins and Gosling and Fracture...not bad at all!
Mike Becomes Christine I don't know Mike Penner, the sportswriter at the LATimes, but was moved by his announcement after 40 years of dealing with it, he is changing his gender;:(see his article here) when he comes back from vacation he will be Christine Daniels. It's a brave thing to do but ultimately he feels he had no choice. Whatever the basis for his transexuality (perhaps events dring his mother's pregnancy) he has been a woman living in a man's body. I liked the comment of his boss, Randy Harvey when Penner told him of the change, he looked out at the sports department and said now there'll be more diversity! Good luck Christine!
The Race is On And a comment about the presidential contenders and pretenders. We seems to treat the race for the presidency as a popularity contest; who's got the best personality, who is more likeable. but remember, it's not American Idol, it's America's future. While it may be about character or piety or wit or looks, it's really about policy and vision. I wish most americans would get as involved in thinking about the process as we do with thinking about Sanjaya and Lindsey Lohan.
Those are my comments..... yours? My best to all of you!

Steve has been the host of GoodDay LA for 13 years and counting. While it seems that he's been on LA tv for 60 years, it's really been since 1978. Steve's been the host of too many shows to mention but a few are: Am Los Angeles, Two on the Town, Live in La,: he has a closetfull of emmys, a star on Hollywood Blvd and looks forward (most mornings) to his time with Jillian and Dorothy, and yes, he reads a lot of the stuff you write!
