Quiet success Aug 6, 2008
As a result, though not on the force, Monk is often called upon by the police captain, Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), to consult on cases because of his superior deductive skills. Using instinct and a keen sense of observation, Monk notices minor anomalies in a crime scene that often goes unnoticed by everyone else: the way the curtains are drawn, the way a book is arranged on the bookshelf or even the position of a chair in the room.

Sickest movie countdown begins: the first 10 Jul 24, 2007
The unbelievable characters become believable through the great acting of Anthony Hopkins and Ted Levine (incredibly, the captain of police on "Monk").

VIDEO PREVIEW: Week's top video releases take things to the extreme Jun 20, 2006
And, returning to the desert, horrormeister Wes Craven's 1977 cult classic "The Hills Have Eyes" (Fox) gets a 21st-century remake as cannibalistic mutants put the bite on unsuspecting vacationers (led by Ted Levine and Kathleen Quinlan). Critic's choice: Hollywood's two golden ages ('30s/'40s and '60s/'70s) inspire some at-long-last DVD debuts. (Las Vegas Review-Journal -- Life)

The makeup effects by Gregory Nicotero and Howard Berger are perhaps too realistic, to the point that they drain much of the pleasure from watching "The Hills," which devolved into little more...

In The Hills Have Eyes, which is like RV with cannibalism (an improvement, if you ask me), the road-tripping, upper-middle-class family headed by Ted Levine is beset by encounters with hillbilly mutants who want to hump and eat them. In American Dreamz, the "average" family containing the ambitious Idol wannabe played by Mandy Moore is depicted as a group of tube-enthralled all-American idiots. (Toronto Star -- Arts)

Brenda is a sulky, sensual teen, but her older sister, who is married to Doug (Aaron Stanford), a bearded, bespectacled tech geek, is the mother of a small baby. (Australian)

The tourists in this movie acquire tired characters like retired police officer Dad (Ted Levine), ex-hippie Mom (Kathleen Quinlan), three older kids, a son-in-law, a baby and two dogs, all of whom have piled into their truck 'n' trailer to drive across the desert. They stop at a dusty old gas station and naively take the advice of Mr. I-Live-Alone-and-Work-at-a-Gas-Station-in-the-Desert, who sends them down a dead-end deathtrap of a dirt road, damn it.
