Dollhouse: Season 2
Why couldn't you have hired your brother and sister-in-law for the entire show? What, they were too expensive?

Well, what do you think I liked? The cataloging scene, of course!

30 Days of Night
Takes only 30 minutes to kill everyone in town, but takes 45 minutes to wonder whether they're vampires? What, they've never watched a horror movie in Barrow, AK?

Monsters vs. Aliens
Even an animated Stephen Colbert playing the Axel F theme is hysterical.

(500) Days of Summer
Unique take on the shopworn true-romance tale. Ultra-strong performances, but that last shot? Why?

It Might Get Loud
There's no way to not have Jack White look like the young, inexperienced, nervous punk.

Sunshine Cleaning
No one actor stands on their own here-- truly, a team effort.

Timecrimes
Schrödinger's cat t-shirt on the girl? Nice touch. (First 45 minutes are kind of a slog, bear with it.)

Dexter: Season 3
No-- Deb and Quinn, not Deb and Anton. Although, I suppose Quinn is a bit too orange for good taste.

Avatar (in 3D)
Someone hired a biology consultant. Not so sure about a geology consultant. (Would have been way cooler in IMAX, but the projector broke.)

"Mr. Savage, what's the difference between plot and narrative?" Good question.
