His Girl Friday…
… funniest movie ever made.

Poor Paul Mercurio . . .
He was so much fun in Strictly Ballroom - a shame to see him flush his bigtime Hollywood career with this garbage.

How on earth…
… is Regina Spektor not #1?

Better than last year?
I still don't see why there's no love for the metal, though. Iced Earth's Something Wicked Pt 1 ought to make somebody's list somewhere. Schaffer's been churning out quality stuff for years without any sort of major-label backing. Doesn't this qualify as indie rock?

If tradition holds …
… Chris Elliott should have been killed at the end of the interview.

Take you behind the middle school …
I can't read, Liz Lemon!

What's this "myself" crap?
Check out the first sentence. Maybe I've missed some new evolution of the English language but this is grammatical garbage in this or any other language. How about finding a less awkward construction, something like "My colleague and I…"

Ratatouille
One of the best movies - animated or not - that I've seen in years. Original, well-cast, technically flawless, and doesn't rely on big name voice talent to sell itself. I think that a Best Animated Picture award for Ratatouille would encourage more adventuresome family friendly film fair, unlike the…

Top Secret
A funny scene with Nick offering Hillary various drinks takes the place of the pooping pigeon statue. "Have you seen what they do to those cows?"

My seven year old . . .
. . . loves Help! He's been watching it a couple of times a week for the past three or four months. Much more enjoyable for a parent to have his kid hooked on the Fab Four than on the Wiggles.

Anything by Philip K. Dick …
…that's not "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep"/Blade Runner.

I second Max Brooks
C'mon. Sam Raimi? Bruce Campbell? Sure, he owes a huge debt to George Romero but Max Brooks owns the "sensible advice for zombie invasions" dialogue.

Bacon's best role . . .
. . . since "Digging to China".

Iced Earth…
… has a pretty slick song called "Dracula". Probably the best song on the album - depicts Dracula as in rivalry with God to "feed upon His precious child". But what's heartfelt American metal when we've got Belle and Sebastian, right?

But didn't the Onion…
… call SJP "America's favorite horse-face"? Shouldn't you guys be suing for plagiarism?

What happened?
In the wake of Passion of the Christ it seemed like we were on the verge of religious-themed movies with some semblance of artistic merit. But aside from a few good-but-not-great films like End of the Spear and Brigham City, it looks like we're back to the days of "Left Behind". What a shame.

C'mon people…
… any armchair Bible scholar can tell you that most of the old law in Leviticus was superseded by Jesus' higher law. You don't see much about pork and seafood in the New Testament but you still see condemnation of homosexuality. All the cute filmmaking in the world ain't getting around that.

Of course…
… the rest of it is Grade A crap.

Say what you will…
… this movie has one memorable and pitch perfect scene.

Die Toten Hosen
… sind meine Lieblingsgruppe. Ausgezeichnet!
