The wise choice is not to watch

Currently appearing on HBO: a dreadful little piece of business entitled Wisegirls, starring Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) and Mariah Carey, the songstress-turned-actress (and I'm using both those words with the broadest possible latitude) whose previous foray into film, the abominable Glitter, was so awful it may have been partly responsible for Mariah's nervous breakdown and subsequent hospitalization.

Hey, Mira: the Academy called, and they want Oscar to come home now. Seems there was this major accounting snafu at Price Waterhouse, and the statuette should have gone to someone who wasn't going to spend the rest of her career making meaningless, direct-to-Blockbuster dreck. Joan Allen or Kate Winslet, maybe.
