Completely un-necessary and inexcusable. Seriously, Hollywood is out of ideas. It might be better than Dwayne Johnson in The Tooth Fairy, but I won't hold my breath.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but here goes: Barbra Streisand is the best part of this movie. Maybe it's been too long since I saw the original (in theatres all those years ago), but I found this to be a formulaic sequel that's just barely enjoyable. Dustin Hoffman is great, but the "callback" jokes are more lazy than nostalgic and the film overall disappoints. Either that or bad movies were a lot funnier when I was in high school, could go either way...

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?
