A PLACE IN THE SUN By David Bianculli

If you’re a loyal viewer of TCM (and if not, why not?), you’ll care about tonight’s prime-time lineup.

THE CELL By David Bianculli

This movie is 15 years old now – and that’s how long ago Jennifer Lopez was primed to cross over from pop music to movie stardom. Now, with her new movie hitting theaters, and with her back on American Idol, she’s riding higher than ever.

If you plan to watch on a broadcast network, NBC and PBS are devoting two full hours to President Obama’s address and the political reactions, while ABC, CBS and Fox are scheduled for 90 minutes, and the CW a mere hour. On CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, there will be lots and lots of post-speech analysis – and switching among them, like switching among the broadcast networks, often is the most entertaining, if not informative, way to go.
