“It’s brighter than Stephen Hawking in here.”

Just got back from seeing For Your Consideration, and it was hee-larious. Not quite as good as Christopher Guest’s earlier stuff–Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind–but there are plenty of lines to make you spew your soda … Continue reading Continue reading
