Mini-Review: Great but a little overrated. Mainly interesting for me because it gives you a good look at Hollywood filmmaking on the eve of the Spielberg reformation.

Mini-Review: A surrealist masterpiece from the people behind SNL and SCTV. It has a weird tone that some people mistake as either incompetence or hubris or runaway nonsense, but if you think of it as a long nightmare sequence then the pieces fall into place.

Mini-Review: A great Robert Zemeckis movie about a giant asshole who saves some other assholes from a monster who looks like a sensitive teenager and his hot mom. It has a script which makes sense of an uninteresting epic, and justifies digitial filmmaking by doing amazing things with the camera.

Mini-Review: 2007 had some really bad movies, but most of them demonstrated as little return on investment or respect for the audience as this one did. The best part about watching The Simpsons on TV is that when it gets really shitty you can change the channel, but with this movie I was confronted with the three-part horror of a giant screen, a laughing audience, and a slew of good reviews that kept me in the theater under the impression that it would get better at some point. Worst movie of 2008.

Mini-Review: I don't find it all that funny but it's the best movie about personality that I've ever seen, and tragic to the point that you might even tear up.
