24 Movie In The Works; Chiachi To Join Arrested Development

The working title of the 24 movie is said to be "120 Minutes, With Credits."

I'm kinda skeptical about any movie I hear about being "in the works" -- so few pan out -- but Hollywood seems to be in the mood to make movies out of running tv shows now. X-Files, Firefly movie (okay, that ended a year ago; close enough).

They're basically sequels but without the huge costs associated with bringing the original cast of the hit first movie back. Just a bunch of TV actors thrilled to be on the big screen, plus a built-in audience, and lots of virtually free promotion. Can't make a fortune with them, but likely to turn a fair profit.

What's the draw of going to see a movie you can just basically see on TV for free? Well, we'll get to see Jack Bauer's naked ass. Finally. I've been waiting for an eyeful of his fine junk since Young Guns.

She's also got her own list of the most overrated movies ever. I'm not sure who rates Wild Wild West all that highly, though, Jen.

That's like calling Kurt Rambis the most overrated NBA player of all time.
