And I'm not just talking about Lara Flynn Boyle's lips (zing!). I spent a good deal of Sunday just sitting on the futon with the Chef watching Lifetime movies. It's one of her favorite pastimes and we caught parts of two (one involved a former Baywatch chick, that skeezy dude from Sex and the City and Adam Baldwin; the other... I can't really recall) and all of The House Next Door.
Starring LFB's top lip and Mark-Paul Gosselaar's tousled hair, this little gem of a film seemed to last at least seven years. The Chef claims this is the sign of a good Lifetime movie, but I'm not convinced. In between the commercials for the Lifetime original series Monarch Cove (is it bad that I kind of want to tune in?) I mostly just wondered where Mark-Paul's maybe evil, but definitely dreamy architect had gone. I also wondered why his fairly bland modern design was being hailed as revolutionary. Then I found out that the book that is the basis for the film, which will surely win a People's Choice Award for best use of a Saved By the Bell Star Not Named Mario Lopez, was written in the '70s. So with that mystery solved, I'm only left to wonder how LFB and her stoic hubby got custody of the precocious little girl who played a possessed demon in that other Lifetime movie with the chick from 24 and her evil twin from The Nine.

I saw a billboard for Monarch's Cove.
Aside from having a title that sounds like either a) satire of Dawson's Creek, b) a porno, or c) a porno version of Dawson's Creek, it looked semi-interesting.
Then I saw it was on Lifetime.
