bias alert!: continuing my obsession with ‘Doctor Who,’ psyched for ‘The Assassination of Jesse James,’ dreadin’ ‘Good Luck Chuck,’ still hatin’ Seth Rogen
Still got a head full of ‘Doctor Who.’ Sorry.
Year: 2007
my week at the movies: ‘Eastern Promises,’ ‘Run, Fat Boy, Run,’ ‘Death Sentence,’ ‘The Hunting Party,’ more
it’s like how much more black could it be? I thought last week that I’d have a movie-free week this week, but that’s not working out. There are so many movies opening from September onward toward the end of the year that if I don’t get a head start, I’ll be drowning before I know … more…

What’s really astonishing is Mayall’s comedic brutality: he latches like a bulldog onto B’Stard’s malevolence and wrings it dry. Oh so dry.
FILM 307: What the Movies Taught Me About College (2 credits)
It’s August, which means it’s disgustingly hot and there’s crap at the multiplexes and kids are getting ready to go back to school, if they’re not already there. Suckers.
