What a pleasant surprise: a teen movie that didn't suck. Probably because it wasn't actually a teen movie, but rather, another example of Tina Fey's comedic genius. Mean Girls is a fun, honest movie that should not be missed, one that you can watch again and again for its combination of humour and (unlike actual teen movies) its inclusion of... a point. Great fun to pick out Toronto all over this movie, too, I know people and places in this one.

I'm still in disbelief that I watched this. Absolutely stupid, but with a few really funny moments. I want to quote one, but I'm worried it will ruin the movie's best gag. Good job of parodying bad early TV (like Galaxy Quest or Starsky & Hutch before it), but not much else to see here. Will Ferrell yelling... funny enough, but just.

It might be my favourite movie ever, and every time I watch it I see something new. Based on an amazing novel, this is one of the rawest films I've ever seen and it's at once exhilirating and terrifying. A seminal film of the 90s with a soundtrack among the best ever assembled, the movie is humor laced with horror - sort of like the drug addiction it uses as its subject, I would think. For everyone getting in on the No Country for Old Men hype, here's where Kelly MacDonald made her start... yeah, she's not Texan, just Scottish and ridiculously talented. Probably Ewen MacGregor's best movie, and when I read the book a couple of years after first seeing it, while I could imagine the characters a little differently, I couldn't shake Begbie's image from my head, which I think stands as a tribute to Robert Carlyle's performance. I could go on for days about this one, but it's a truly outstanding piece of art.

Could it be the smartest movie ever made?
