Original article: "Mamma Mia!"

Here we go again…

I couldn't agree more with this review — except Brosnan gets a little more slack than he deserves. Yes, he's become a better actor since Bond, but not necessarily a more discerning one. He certainly could've done better than this.

I don't know what I like more about Stephenie's reviews, that they're honest and actually get to the heart of the matter or that the comments go on for so long about how much she obviously hates films. Someone who hates film wouldn't be so passionately moved when presented with a crappy film, surely. What I see is outrage that yet another filmic insult is being shoved onto the public, which would suggest a caring about films which people who line up to see Mamma Mia — or defend it — might not appreciate.

Jumpin' Jebus!

Interesting that so many people should be swayed one way or another by the implication that Obama believes in a different imaginary man in the sky than they do… It would be nice if the debate were raised to a higher level, like, is Obama a Star Trek or a Star Wars man?

Surely that would tell you more about him than his opinions on a book written centuries ago to control a peasant population?

Personally, while I love both franchises, I'd have to say a Trekkie would make a better Prez than a Jedi.

Original article: "Death Race"

Jason Statham is NOT an actor!

He's a prop! When will people stop giving this stubbled sofa speaking parts in movies?

I hear the world is filled with death squads, why can't they start targeting the people who produce brainless knock-offs of perfectly good movies instead of aid workers and journalists? Do something useful with all that aggression…
