"Party of Five," in its fifth inexplicable season on FOX, is getting a generational boost this evening. Granted, the promos for tonight's sweeps kick-off episode display Charlie "perennially unemployed-and-unshaven" Salinger (Matthew Fox) being forced to make a choice between his whiny pregnant on-again-off-again girlfriend Daphne (Jennifer Aspen) and his unborn child due to medical complications, but if you can't figure out who he picks or what happens to both of them by now, you obviously haven't been watching this tiresome show long enough.
Tonight's 'Party' set on mediocrity
Judging by his rippling muscles, Kurt Russell must have spent quite a bit of time building up his body for the science fiction film "Soldier." Unfortunately, this appears to be the only area of production on which any extended effort was made. After all, it's kind of tough to imagine screenwriter David Webb Peoples sitting in front of his computer and racking his brain for a few hours a day so that he could include things such as jumping snakes in the movie.
'Soldier' dumps out poor action
On a sunny day in Southern California, a car pulls up to a white house and four Minnesota natives step out. Not knowing exactly what will become of their lives in this Western paradise, the handsome family sticks close together, fearing the worst and praying for the best.Priestley heads for a new zip code
