dean says the story is sometimes a little simple, in which names like harry connick jr, ashley judd and morgan freeman, seem wasted.... but it's the dolphins who are the real stars. it's a deans list "b" "the drop" stars "dark knight" villain, tom hardy and james gandolifin in his final film. it's a confused story about a soft-spoken bartender whose saloon is a drop-off point for the russian mafia's dirty money, dean say, the story is watered down by several unnecessary sub-plots... only one is interesting, thanks to gandolifini in his most "tony- soprano-ish" character. "skeleton twin" stars snl favorites kristen wigg and bigg hader, who play brother and sister brought together after 10 years apart. dean says, wigg and hader are great, but in a meandering story and overly artsy direction distracts from their genius, who came so close to charming several times, but could never seal the deal. it's a dean's list "c plus". >> the following program is brought to you by supple, the new, revolutionary health regeneration drink by supple, llc. >> hello, and welcome to the smart medicine show.
