Movie Reviews

I joined NetFlix a few weeks ago. Here are some quick reviews so far (Great, Good, Average, Bad):

+ Casino Royale -- Good. Daniel Craig was excellent in his Bond debut. As always in the 007 franchise, cinematography was excellent.
+ Borat -- Good. It should be getting harder and harder to do the fuck-with-people type of humor, but Sacha Baron Cohen pulled it off hilariously.
+ Pursuit Of Happyness -- Great. Definitely deserving of all the hype. The uplifting moment could have come a little earlier, but Will Smith gave a great effort.
+ Stranger Than Fiction -- Good. Will Ferrell un-pigeonholed himself in "Melinda And Melinda," and showed similar range again.
+ Thank You For Smoking -- Great. Aaron Eckhart deserves more buzz. He was outstanding in "In The Company Of Men" a decade ago, and hasn't disappointed once since.

In The Queue . . .

+ Casablanca
+ The Last King Of Scotland
+ Eddie Izzard

You might be in trouble, unless you sue Cohen for gimmick infringement.

Seriously, dude, I started that whole fuck-with-people trend.

You started that trend? It thought it was Allen Funt.

Did you seriously just go Candid Camera on me?
