The first episode of this series was a little shaky, but I believe that if given enough time, the show can find its ground and stand firmly. Ed O'Neill's Joe Friday doesn't have the same cool as Jack Webb's did, but he plays the part well. O'Neill's chemistry will Ethan Embry comes through the TV well and it's funny to see Det. Friday and Det. Smith intimidate suspects by talking about all the bad things that will happen in front of them. It's good to see both Embry and O'Neill back in a tv series and if the show can come up with some really interesting initial story lines, it just might be around for a while.

The first episode of Veritas showed much potential and a promise of better things to come. Ryan Merriman delivers, as always, and the rest of the cast were great as well. The show is the story of Vincent, played by Alex Carter, who is an archaeologist.......well, kind of, more like Lara Croft's version of an archaeologist from what the first episode shows, and his estranged son Nikko, played by Merriman. In the first episode Vincent is trying to find a lost city that his wife had been searching for before she died and Nikko ends up coming along for the ride. The characters are interesting and the dialogue, though it could use a little work, is quite good overall. ****/*****

This movie was so great. Watching it one wonders why we had to wait until The Lord of the Rings to see Elijah Wood hit it big. He brings a sense of depth to the role of Barney Snow and the movie itself just draws you in. Rachael Leigh Cook is another fine young actor who should be bigger than she is and she delivers an awesome performance in this film as well. This movie both frustrates and pleases its audience and I recommend everyone see it.
