| The Mod Squad Review |
| by Ross Anthony |
| If you watched TV in the early 70's, you'll probably remember "The Mod
Squad" TV series ... or at least Linc, because he was the coolest of the
trio. "Mod Squad" the movie, borrows the hip idea of deputizing three
prison-bound delinquents. The film...more |

| The Hollywood creative rut of recycling old TV show reruns has finally
gotten deep enough to reach The Mod Squad. A ridiculous show to start
with, should we be surprised that it has spawned an even more ridiculous
movie? more |

| It's clear Hollywood is scraping the bottom of the old TV barrel when
filmmakers start adapting things like "The Mod Squad," which left the
airwaves more than 25 years ago and has rarely been seen since. The
movie, which is louder, racier and more...more |

| Here's a quick note to any motion picture company. If you preface your
movie with a dictionary-like definition, you'd better be careful. Why?
Because when the screen displays this snippet of information, it demands
that we begin forming some kind of...more |

| The Mod Squad Review |

| As anyone who has read my last two reviews: short films that studios and
people alike have never heard of and are available for free download via the
internet, you can probably guess that I have it out against the current
regime of Hollywood movies,...more |

| My memories of TV super-producer Aaron Spelling's original late '60s-early
'70s action series are fuzzy at best. I don't think I've ever seen a full
episode, but I do recall the image of three young, cool cops running
together in pursuit of a perp. I...more |

| Here’s a way to tell if a movie is really bad: Take a peek at your
watch when the credits start to roll. If it’s exactly 90 minutes from
the time the lights went down, odds are you just suffered through a real
stinker. Why? Because the director...more |

| Of the possible old television series to remake, "The Mod Squad" has to
be one of the least promising. Although it was one of my favorites from
back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, its charm was highly tied to the
era. Rather than update the series,...more |

| I have little against remakes and updates of older films and tv series. If
there's a will, there's a way; and I believe that anything, no matter how
great or revered can be effectively improved upon. This is the reason that I
responded so well to Gus Van...more |
