Slated to run all the way back in November of 2005, NBC has finally scheduled 10.5: Apocalypse, the sequel to the incredibly dopey but bizarrely high rated mini-series, to play on May 21 and 23rd. Various stars including Kim Delaney and Beau Bridges return.

HANK: Yes, and that woman's name was Earl Warren.

| I caught 10 minutes of Unanimous on TV last night, as I was trying to figure out how the concept of the show works. Staggeringly bad. As my wife put it, "It's now on the level of The Magic Hour. I have to watch to see how bad it gets". |

Unan1mous is the very personification of Jabootu on TV. It's fake, scripted and cheesy from top to bottom. And for the icing on the cake it stars that guy who looks like Seth Green that everyone calls "that guy who looks like Seth Green" I'm completely addicted to it.

The two-part movie event features returning stars Emmy Award winner Kim Delaney ("NYPD Blue" and "CSI Miami"), Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner Beau Bridges ("The Ballad of Jack and Rose") and David Cubitt ("Medium")-who reprise their roles as controversial scientist Dr. Samantha Hill, the President of the United States, and Hill's boyfriend and fellow scientist Dr. Jordan Fisher, respectively. They are joined by an impressive roster of new faces to include Dean Cain ("The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story"); Oliver Hudson ("The Mountain"); Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon ("NYPD Blue"); Carlos Bernard ("24"); Frank Langella ("Superman Returns"); Carly Pope ("Popular"); Barbara Eve Harris ("Ignition"); Melissa Sue Anderson ("Little House on the Prairie"); and Tamara Hope ("Shall We Dance").
In "10.5: Apocalypse," the deadly seismic activities that peaked with a 10.5 earthquake and devastated the West Coast in the first miniseries have altered the core structure of the earth and now threaten to jeopardize North America and the Western hemisphere, causing catastrophic events. Filmed exclusively in HD, "10.5: Apocalypse" achieves a whole new level of visual effects and style that has not previously been achieved on network television.
In a desperate bid to save lives – and the country – President Hollister (Bridges) calls once again upon one of the nation's top seismologists, controversial scientist Dr. Samantha Hill (Delaney) and her supervisor and former boyfriend Dr. Jordan Fisher (Cubitt), to interpret the latest onslaught of quakes. At a loss for how to interpret this continued seismic and now volcanic disruption, Hill re-discovers her seismologist father's (Langella, as Dr. Earl Hill) much-discredited hypothesis from years past that if correct, predicts even greater ruin and a complete altering of the North American Continent – a Continental Divide of the land mass.
Joining them in their valiant attempt to save lives is FEMA field commander Natalie Warner (Beauvais-Nilon), who is eager to once again prove herself in the field after a poor decision a year ago caused the death of some men under her command. Despite the concerns of her mother Stacy (Barbara Eve Harris, "Ignition"), who is the Acting Director of the organization, Natalie is sent to co-run the field operation. Also called into action is FEMA's untested network of volunteer rescue teams that include firefighters Brad Malloy (Cain), a cocky and charismatic bachelor hungry to join the action and his brother Will (Hudson), who is more level-headed and torn between his obligations to his country, brother and new wife, Laura (Pope). Offering assistance and aid on the front lines is Dr. Miguel Garcia (Bernard), a warm and intense field medic and Amy Hollister (Hope), a young and idealistic civilian Red Cross volunteer and daughter of the President. Rounding out the cast, Anderson plays the First Lady of the United States.

Wow, kinda surprised to see FEMA as the apparent heroes after New Orleans. But I guess given that both the acting director and field commander are women, how CAN they go wrong?
What does it say about me that I looked at the cast list and said "Wow, Frank Langella!" And can anyone who starred in "Little House on the Prairie" really be considered a "new face"?

Poor decisions by FEMA officials? Perish the thought! |

Just a reminder, it airs this weekend. Starts Sunday night. Read a glowing review (as in a D-) of it in Entertainment Weekly. Special effects that are said to be atrocious, howling bad dialog, some even worse performances, and more people yelling into cellphones than you can shake a stick at.

| It's also well worth noting that 10.5 is on tonight and, indeed, started at 8PM, if you missed it the first time. If the sequal is worse is indeed as bad, or worse, than the original, Jabootu's claws have been busy lately. |

Better late than never. Here's my review of 10.5: APOCALYPSE, which pleasantly turned out to be quite the laugh riot. Part of this month's Foyeurism along with reviews of OZZIE (a talking koala bear flick), THE KARATE DOG (from the creator of BABY GENIUSES), and HOLLOW MAN 2: THE HOLLOWING. Plenty of picture to boot.
