...accent will sound more than vaguely familiar. But when the new season of Desperate Housewives premieres on Sept. 27 - with Drea de Matteo as Angie Bolen, a transplanted New Yorker with a family and a secret - it'll be a far cry from Mob-filled New Jersey, where de Matteo drew raves as Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos. That said, her chances of getting whacked might be about the same. De Matteo, 37, replaces the Housewife gap left by Nicollette Sheridan in a much heralded departure last season.

But the main story, in which humans and robots do battle for the future of the collective soul, is familiar from many a Philip K. Dick story, like Minority Report, not to mention The Matrix and, in its proposing of a renegade colony of humans, District 9. Unfortunately "like" doesn't mean "as good as." Surrogates is busy and brainy but dyspeptic - an action movie that aspires to entropy...
