The List

The List
Sweeney Todd - 2007 (Becomes worse not better by fast-forwarding through all the songs)
Material Girls - 2007 (Haylie and Hilary Duff played each other's part. This never happens with the Olson Twins)
My Blueberry Nights - 2008 (Tom Waits divided by Ethan Hawke equals Silk Stalkings minus sex)
They Live - 1988 (Ideology: a monster or more scary than monsters? You discuss)
Shampoo - 1975 (What’s it all about Beatty? The Kierkegaardian Narrative strikes again)
Alien 3 - 1992 (Rethinking Fincher's oeuvre, Se7en is his first film, Alien 3 is just a 2 hour music video)
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - 2008 (disappointing that in the U.S. Russell Brand is now more famous than Noel Fielding)
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay - 2008 (Structurally identical to the first film, but better)

Boys and Girls (Somehow manages to further mystify relationships
Click (Adam Sander is the new Frank Capra, seriously)
Where The Buffalo Roam (Billy Murray's Hunter S. Thompson should be required hipster viewing)
Boys (Winona Ryder's supercute haircut and the way this film depicts the femme fatale is how I try to view every movie)
My Father The Hero (Katherine Heigle used to be Thora Birch cute)
The Chateau (Paul Rudd speaking French)
High Fidelity (The intro to Oh, Sweet Nothin')
Shoot em Up (Michael Davis graduates from mature teen films to the Man Child world of Apatow)
