One Sentence Review: Tropic Thunder

An amazing performance by Robert Downey Jr., even (especially?) the parts where he wasn't playing a black man, never distracted from an excellent parody of everything action-movie.

3/3

As an aside, did anyone else feel like whispering "Too soon?" at the Heath Ledger reference(s)?

One Sentence Review: Burn After Reading

It was darkly humourous, and filled with memorably characters, but ultimately left me just a little bit depressed.

2/3 or maybe 3/3, I'm really not sure.

Nuclear

To politicians everywhere,

Nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and nuclear everything are important issues which you should talk about.  However, before you talk about nuclear issues, you should first learn how to pronounce nuclear.  Like this: nü-klē-ər.  If that's too complicated: Here.

So how do you not say nuclear?  You don't say it New, Cue, Lar. I don't know what that is, but it's definitely not what you think it is.

I'm looking at you Palin.

Sincerely,

Ian McEachern

Oh Snap

With the election closing in, I thought this was an interesting quote from the Conservative Party's website (http://www.conservative.ca/EN/4739/78176):

The Bloc talks a lot about crime. But what can they actually do other than talk? With the BLOC, we can’t achieve anything.

I... I really don't know what else to say.  Except, you know, oh snap.

One Sentence Review: Party Monster

An interesting look at the rise and fall of party planner and club kid Michael Alig, with an excellent performance by Seth Green overshadowing Macaulay Culkin's return to film.

2/3
