My inner five-year-old is appeased: We saw S.W.A.T. tonight.

It was verra cool. Frosty, even. A nice spin on an old favorite.

  • Mr. Jackson proves once again why he is “The Man” (after Avery Brooks, that is).
  • Colin Farrell filled the Jim Street role (a.k.a. “The Role Formerly Played By Robert Urich”) well.
  • LL Cool J made a good Deke.
  • Michelle Rodriguez just kicks ass in general.
  • Seeing Josh Charles (formerly on Sports Night… and also from Baltimore) as T.J. McCabe was a welcome surprise.

…and there were even cameos with Steve Forrest and Rod Perry (from the TV series) and Clark Johnson (the director and formerly on Homicide: Life on the Street).

Yes, my inner-Kindergartener was happy. Quite so. So much so that I will be buying this when it comes out on DVD.

And now, it’s almost time to get back into the work-a-day mindset for the upcoming week.

Namaste.
