I'm giving dvds of "Man of the Century" for the holidays. Clever little gem of a movie.

I hope Beverly Hills Chihuahua bombs horribly...

Saw Appaloosa today. Wow. Really enjoyed that. So far one of the best films of the year so far.

We just watched Third Man Out. It was much better than we anticipated. Check it out.

Alex, regarding the one-female-dog-voice term paper... I happen to know that a fairly prominent Mexican actress had a sizeable cameo and then all of a sudden, all references of her were wiped from the marketing. I suspect that they had originally written so many male characters to sort of counterpoint the big-name actress (or put focus on her.) And in the end, they replaced that character with a male. Or that's how I understand it. I'll have to see it to be certain.

Wow, between Alex's review and LSPE's comment, I am hastily adding Beverly Hills Chihuahua to my must-avoid list. (Not that there was much chance of my going to see it anyway.) I totally agree about the animated animal-mouth thing (though it is infinitely creepier when applied to babies, a fact that made me turn off Baby Geniuses just a few minutes in. And that, I only started to watch because the late Bob Clark had made some terrific movies before, but oy - okay this parenthetical thought is getting too long.)

Anyway, the whole jettisoning of another actress-voice talent to buttress the star power of Ms. Barrymore? My eyes roll as I click "post quick reply."

Oh! No, I'm sorry, I meant that in the original drafting of the script, it seems they may have jettisoned writing other latina characters to put the focus on the latina actress. And once she dropped out and they couldn't replace her, they went with a more-notable male. This is only speculation on my part.

Saw Eagle Eye. Expected eye candy garbage. Got eye candy. So, not disappointed, though my expectations were pretty low. It was exactly what I needed.

And while we’re at it… When did Brian Austin Green become so hot?

(I know this isn't technically the correct place for this – but deal.)
