Can't recall the title. Is it on DVD? A: You are probably thinking of Stone Pillow, a 1985 TV-movie starring Ball. It was released on DVD a few years ago and is still available.

Well, that's not exactly true. I don't really get how someone could not like the fake-psychic detective comedy. But I at least try to understand the people who roll their eyes when Fridays roll around - especially because I'm married to one of them. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/reviews/story/447957.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/reviews/story/447957.html Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:58 EST When "The Wire" began five seasons and a lifetime of innocence ago, it opened with a scenario that said everything about the beautiful, piercingly honest pain we were in for. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/reviews/story/429244.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/reviews/story/429244.html Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:59 EST The best show on television right now is HBO's "In Treatment." http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/reviews/story/410317.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/tv/reviews/story/410317.html Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:17 EST When people say they don't make movies like that anymore, "Bernard and Doris" is the kind of movie they mean.
