CalTV presents another interview, this time of the star and director of “Eastern Promises.” Rosa Kim leads the circus. Now, we know Kim personally, and she enthusiastically says “hi” to us on campus. But that’s beside point. We still don’t think CalTV has found the right interviewer or has perfected its talent.

Don’t get us wrong–Kim’s great as a personality, but that personality is too big for the role of interviewer. Watch and you’ll agree with us when we ask “Exactly who is being interviewed here?”

The interview emphasizes Kim with extended shots, especially one solely of her reactions as Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg provide just the voiceover. And although her bubbly personality carries well for a one-woman show, we don’t think the stars can hold a candle to her bouts of giggles. And that’s not a good thing.

Also, if we want to be really picky: WTF was up with the no-sound clapping and the random, jerky jump cut near the end? Jump cuts should be reserved for music videos and the crappy “experimental” film of a struggling art/film practice major.

Please, CalTV, give us a break and start up the show again. Leave the celebs alone.
