Sunday, October 15, 2006. Man Of The Year. Also reviewed this week: The Departed. Robin Williams, Christopher Walken, Lewis Black, Jeff Goldblum. Rather fun but pointed political meta-comedy. Okay, everyone is going to say pretty much the same thing when they talk about Man Of The Year. Yes, the obvious analogy is Jon Stewart of The Daily Show. See, Man Of The Year. There's a kink in the system, though - literally. See, this year they've chosen to roll out a new electronic voting system created by a ...

guppy's film reviews: March 2007
http://www.guppysfilms.com/rchives/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 09, 2007. Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr. Solid and well-made semi-documentary about an infamous 1960s California serial killer; structure has a few issues and film runs a bit long.

It took me a while to decide what I thought of the ending, but eventually I decided that Fincher did with it what he was responsibly able, and I think others will draw the same conclusion. It's been a guilty p...

Okay, here's the short version that everyone is really waiting to read: yes, the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Is much better than the second one. After that, everything gets moving, and I mean fast. Acting-wise, of course, Depp is on top. Rush is great as well. Bloom is approximately on par with the preceding films, but not...Outin...
