Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was pretty good.

They're really not that much alike, besides being comics with a strong dramatic range. I could never buy Bill Murray being as unhinged as Williams in the aforementioned films. Similarly, Robin Williams in "Lost in Translation" is too ludicrous to consider.

SIGH…onions…

Black Swan, but Toy Story 3 is also a good answer. Or The Social Network, or Inception. Hell, basically anything but The King's Speech. And guess what?

I can agree with that. If "The King's Speech" hadn't been nominated, much less won Best Picture and Director (I don't begrudge the Oscar for Firth), I would have thought it was pleasant but cliched. Now I think it's pandering Oscarbait that took all its suckers for a ride. In general, it's good to have our opinions…

That's a good point. It's funny how all those movies are all fuelled by nostalgia. But I suspect that any film with real heft (not Oscar-baiting heft) would probably be too much for the Oscar voters, at least to make a consensus on.

I'm in the minority here, but I thought Hugo was a big disappointment. A good first hour (and the best 3D I've ever seen), but the end is so anti-climactic when it's just Sir Ben Kingsley sitting around and talking about things that had little bearing on the story leading up to it. Also, it's just a big pat on the…

I don't think it's really fair to compare the grades of "Mission Impossible" to "Let The Right One In" (though I'd give the latter a higher grade than B+). They're completely different movies trying to do completely different things. Phipps just thought that one movie was better at what it was trying to do than the…

The guy in the photo does look like he just listened to "California Lady" or Johnny Longbow talking about his stew.

I haven't seen Drive, but I'll say this of the Best Score Nominations: the nod for "The Artist" must feel like a huge cockslap in Kim Novak's face.

Set phasers to love me!

"But it says something that in the movies I saw today, I sympathized more with the one about the mentally ill guy than the one about the sweet young couple."
Are you sure that that has anything to do with the movies?

Talk about extremely loud and incredibly close…

What about "The Starfighters"?

I'll put in three: Track of the Moon Beast (Johnny's stew, need I say more?) and The Starfighters, a great episode despite the complete lack of material from the movie itself (refueling aside), and The Pumaman (Pyuuuma Man!)

I hates that rabbit!

Incidentally, I could eat a nobb at night.

The fake Jefferson Starship device was a nice touch. Inspector Spacetime is my favorite show-in-a-show.

I knew there was something missing from "Grown Ups"!

I love "Jack Frost," especially the mushroom guy and the old witch that starts dancing for no reason.
