 If
you've seen any of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez's violent-filled earlier
films, from Desparado to From Dusk Till Dawn, you'd
probably never think he would become the most popular family film
director working today. But with the success of last year's Spy
Kids and now its sequel, Rodriguez has shown his masterful skill
at creating a fantasy based world steeped in real life values. You
can catch the original tonight on the movie channel.
Elsewhere, CBS attempts to get you ready for football, 60 Minutes
delves into the world of pop music and Law & Order: SVU focuses
on a possible cover-up at a church.
8:00pm
Countdown To Kickoff: The NFL Times Square Concert - CBS
- Those who got a small taste of the NFL last night may tune in
here see exactly what this new NFL "entertainment" special is all
about. Although I'm certain once you realize the show features performances
by both Bon Jovi and Enrique Iglesias, the majority of sane viewers
will likely turn back to ESPN to continue their real preparation
until Sunday.
Spy Kids - The Movie Channel - Before you shell out the big
bucks for the sequel, you can watch the 2001 original and see how
the magic started. Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino are charming
as the parents of the Cortez family, but it's their children played
by Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara that truly steal the show.
9:00pm
60 Minutes II: Spinning Gold - CBS - Tonight's episode deals
with the elusive American quest for musical success. Dan Rather
will go "on tour" with the Dixie Chicks and Charlie Rose will interview
Carlos Santana. Lou Pearlman, the man responsible for N'Sync and
The Backstreet Boys (and I stress the word "responsible") will also
be featured.
10:00pm
Law & Order: SVU - NBC - Eric Stoltz is one of those actors
who will never be a giant movie star, but anytime he appears on
film or television, you can't help but watch his every move. Perhaps
that's because he's such an underrated talent, or maybe he simply
fills our red-haired actor void left open after David Caruso left
N.Y.P.D. Blue. You can catch him here tonight guest starring
as a priest who could be a murder suspect.
