I haven't rooted for the bad guy since The Terminator, but this did it.  It's the Bob Roberts of this decade.  And if you haven't seen Bob Roberts, rent that one as well in time for election season.

She's jumped terrorists, spies, even agents on her own team, but never the shark.  Admittedly, about half the gadgets on the show elicit an "Awww, come on!" from me.

It isn't quite Psycho, but this nearly-forgotten little movie has a few surprises even if it stars Anthony Perkins cliching the typecasting that would poison his career.

All five girls in this are essentially the same, so no matter which way the plot turns, you'll never find your way out.  You'll be rooting for them to kill off characters faster so you can escape this basically unimaginative little thriller with the identical plot at The Cave.

Remember when Bruce Willis kept playing characters that were too young for him right on into his 40s?  Well, now he's trying to play guys who are too old.  We've gone from Die Hard to "gonna die soon."  And you'll hope the hitmen get Mos Def five minutes after he opens his mouth.

More reasons why I have a crush on Laraine Newman.

Normally I don't care for the dream sequences on this show (or most others that don't budget for CGI), but the extended one this season was actually very interesting.  For once I'm glad Tony doesn't sleep with the fishes.

I was worried, but now I am at peace.  They ended the series with the dignity it deserved.

There's no wonder why David Cronenberg is my favorite director.  I hadn't seen this one since I was in high school, but it's terrific.  All the usual Cronenberg themes are there.  I'm not surprised and, at the same time, can't keep myself from being affected as though I didn't know what was coming next.

Early anime from the guy who did Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc., yet this one was coherent and enjoyable all the way through.  I was very, very surprised how much I liked it.

TV movie of the week material plus some titties equals cute, but whatever.

Aimless, plotless meanderings of characters you won't like and couldn't care less about other than the fact that Robert Downey Jr. plays himself as a hopeless drug addict about ten years before the fact.

Gross isn't scary; it's just... gross.  Get a clue.  Idiots.  This movie was made by people with an IQ lower than its intended audience, and that isn't saying much.

This is probably the only soap opera you could get a guy to watch consistently.  The missing element in all the others?  Naked lesbians.

Much better than I expected.  It's still a kids' movie, and there's a ridiculous deus ex machina moment (same as in the book and much of the bible), but overall it's a nice fairy tale.  If you're a male over 15 though, you'd best stick with Lord of the Rings.

Not a great movie or even a great performance, but it's worth watching Brad Pitt as a sociopathic redneck because things he says that are wronger than the title is spelled.

This movie paradoxically makes me believe in the devil by being a unconvincing remake that could only have been produced through Satanic influence.  I felt like they were walking though the original's scenes rather than making an updated movie from great source material.  The remake was about as necessary the Pope.
