Bad santas

John Cusack and Harold Ramis talk about making movies without selling your soul -- or dressing up -- and their very dark holiday comedy.

    For fans only

    John Cusack plays the same shuffling soul in every film, but I happen to like his dark humor and wry characters. Harold Ramis is always sharp of wit, and between Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day he's got my loyalty for some time.

    Please. Enough with the half-hearted Cusack bashing.

    This will be a decent film for those who already like Cusack and Ramis, and will probably be just dull for those who don't. Whether or not Cusack and Ramis realize it, they've cultivated a following, and that following are the only people likely to watch this new film.

    Thank god I'm one of those people.
