Films "Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy" competed against that year: David Cronenberg's "Crash," and Bruce McDonald's "Hard Core Logo." It lost to something I've never heard of called "Lilies."

"Crash has like three good scenes. Three!"

There is a Canada-specific buddy cop movie
It's called "Bon Cop, Bad Cop." Wikipedia says: "When a dead body is found hanging on top of the sign demarcating the Ontario-Quebec border, police officers from both Canadian provinces must join forces to solve the murder. David Bouchard (Patrick Huard) is a rule-bending,…

"She doesn't write her own music"

Both the '04 Punisher and the new one deserve better reviews than they got.

If I had to pick the most awful thing about Michael Clayton, and it is an awful, awful movie from beginning to end, I'd have to go with the ending, which underlined that, yes, all the effort that it took to follow and care about the plot was only going to be rewarded with the same old Grisham horseshit tied up with a…

You've Got Mail is okay for a chick flick, not really good or bad. Sleepless in Seattle is repulsive.

You mean he's the only character who had even a spot of life and was the only bright spot in that worthless, worthless movie?

As the courts struggle to set up an unbiased jury for the O.J. civil trial, lawyers have discovered the first potential juror who claims to know nothing about the original trial. "I don't even know when it happened or who was it," the man is reported as saying. Unfortunately, the man had to be disqualified when it was…

I Love '80s Movies
Ridiculously fucked up shit just happens in the mid-'80s, and no one bats an eye. I'm a three-foot-tall talking duck from another dimension! Well, that's New York for ya! The star player for our high school basketball team is a werewolf! Perfectly normal! I'm a teenager who created a supermodel…

"the mall version of an actual talented person"

The remake has plenty to say about the nature of humanity. Specifically, that the nature of humanity is we're a bunch of retards who, when faced with the gravest of dilemmas, will go find a corner to jerk off in. This is satire, not drama, and three years after 9/11, it never felt more relevant to me. While I…

My favorite thing about Dawn of the Dead '04 is that it jettisons most of the subtext with the unspoken explanation that the characters don't have time for subtext because they're too busy fighting all the fucking zombies. (Also, don't confuse emotional connection with depth, people.)

The Richard Cheese sequence is the best in the movie. I am amazed that people don't like the Dawn of the Dead remake.

"People didn't much care for Encore. I don't even remember the names of the records he released since. "

Robin Williams gets more shit from people because, while his hit-to-miss ratio is on par or even slightly better than his peers, his shitty work is seriously, like, the shittiest shit that ever shit, and his A-game is nowhere near as good.

Huh
Just more proof of Tracy Morgan's assertions that he is nothing at all like his 30 Rock character. His alterego has a snake cage, not a shark tank.

What makes Laffy Taffy so catchy?
How about: It isn't? Because that's a fucking nothing of a song. It barely exists. Seriously, there's minimalism and then there's simply turning on the prerecorded beats on your Casio and adding some vocals to it. "Laffy Taffy" is the only rap song I've ever heard of referred to as…

Angela isn't intrinsically crazy
She's just dealing with being dumped by probably the only two people who ever found her attractive. And she's dealing with it very badly.

Personally, I chalk that up to bad editing on the fictional documentarians' part. Despite being intercut with each other, there's no indication that the failed birthday party and the Nashua trip happened on the same day.
