Awful for All the Right Reasonsnew
Some might argue that the normality of the film is revolution, in showing gay men capable of living lives every bit as unremarkable as anything described by Nora Ephron -- as for me, I'm not impressed by crappy old wine in a new gay bottle.

Nobody Likes a Fat Spidernew
I'd wager more Americans have a passionate opinion about the worth of the Spider-Man series than Bush or Obama -- which makes it that much more difficult for me to tell you that your precious Spider-Man movie just flat-out sucks.

Blades of Glory is basically the same movie he's been making for years, and yet, I found myself laughing many, many times. So who's the idiot here, me or Ferrell?

John Malkovich Runs Out of Crayonsnew
There's no question that heavy-duty Acting is underway, but Malkovich's instructions from his director seem to be the dramatic equivalent of saying, "Take it away, Yngwie" -- there's some pretty impressive fingerwork, but it doesn't really amount to much.
