"American Dreamz"

    No ugly

    This is an extremely shallow comment, but we can't all be intellectually sparkling, especially confronted with that headshot in the side column.

    I've been a Dennis Quaid fan since Breaking Away, and have paid money and sat through some pretty WTF? flicks just because his name was on the marquee. He has singlehandedly almost rescued some of the clunkers, and he never lowers the quality of anything he's in.

    And, well, frankly, in nearly 30 years of filmmaking, he's only gotten better at his craft. And I can't deny, there's just no ugly there, is there?
