I thought remarriage comedies went out with the Hays Code.

Some Math
Here's your best of the decade list broken down by year:

I feel pretty much the same way about Gomorrah. It's still a film I respect if I don't really care for it. And I don't think I need to rewatch it. Because it is boring. We don't really ever get to know any of the characters. Sure, it's in that docudrama style, but I could name other docudrama's that achieve such a

I thought Christopher Walken was the primary villain. Penguin and Catwoman were just misunderstood reflections of Batman: his outcast freak and his fetishist.

I hate when movies are rated for thematic elements.

I think the A.V. Club just gave some Hollywood producers an idea about a live-action Cathy movie.

It's always a bad sign when your movie has more narration than dialogue.

Handlen, do you eat oysters?

Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny
Oh god, I could barely make it a minute into clip. The sheer, surmounting horror of it all. The Ice Cream Bunny's hell train approaches.

So this isn't a John Updike adaptation?
