Corddry was a little underwhelming but the guys who play their two jewish friends were stellar as before, I just wish they'd manage to find them a way in there a little more.

Just came back from watching Harold and Kumar. Fantastically entertaining. Even though I enjoyed the skewering of the politics, my real laugh-out moments weren't the political moments. I loved Kumar's poem recitation and also the racial j

If you want a good war movie, try Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" (1963). One of my alltime favorite movies. Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens, Keenan Wynn, George C. Scott. Best "war" movie I've ever seen, and yes I first saw in the theate

I saw Harold & Kumar last night. The one thing I'd add to the write-up above is that while the jokes skewer recent executive policy, there is an unambiguous appreciation for conservative core principles. The terrorists in Guantanamo are shown as
