We came back with seven movies. Here are my thoughts on each:
Troy – Excepting the first and last third of it, it’s sort of a fun movie. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favour and start at the scene where Paris fights Menaleus, then stop after Achilles squares off with Paris. If you know enough about the Trojan War to know that it had nothing to do with contraceptives, you’ll know enough to get by.
The Philadelphia Story – Like a screwball comedy, without the pacing or the humour. Wait, maybe it’s a romance. No. Not that, either.
Bowling for Columbine – If I learned one thing from this movie, it’s that Charlton Heston answers his own security intercom. (Ring it! More likely than not, he’ll let you in.) Oh, and America is scary.

Indeed.
I hope Michael Moore tones down a bit. I admire him for doing what he's doing. I actually think the new non-wookie look is quite cool as well. A new, more deadly Michael Moore.
