Ben, who snuck in a double feature this weekend, is going to steal a page from Matthew Leathers’ book and write two two-sentence reviews.
THE HANGOVER: As he did in Old School, Todd Phillips brings a subtle aesthetic sensibility to every frame. Broadly defined that sensibility is, “Why shoot this scene with pants when we could shoot it without pants?”
DRAG ME TO HELL: Cat-lovers should avoid this movie at all costs. As should anyone who gets queasy at the thought of a dead gypsy woman vomiting beetles onto Alison Lohman’s face.
Anyone who saw these films with me (or just saw them, period) is welcome — nay, encouraged — to submit his/her own two-sentence review.

Ben, if you’re awake. E-mail me.

I didn’t understand Tad’s review. I will submit for The Hangover. I will not see Drag me to Hell, because I am a cat-, but not an Alison Lohman-, lover.
This movie is made more special by the way Zach Galifianakis’ character carries his heft with “joie de vive.” That said, this flick contains a whole lot of penn-is.

Ooooh, sorry, Coach. We were looking for a two-sentence review and not a haiku. Looks like someone didn’t spend enough time in clubs during college.

I will also quote from my favorite website right now – http://www.textsfromlastnight.com.
(502): if i had a dollar for every time ive had to piece a night together like they did in “the hangover”, i bet i could outsell their weekend box office earnings…

The only club I was in college was the”Let’s hang out in the common room because my roommate is banging some chubby chick” society.

An old gyspy lady facesucker leaving a snail-like slobber trail on faces reminds me of something that happened to me once: I was enjoying a movie this past weeked and someone’s hand wound up on my leg, which was quite enjoyable at first but slowly I started to wonder if this was some sly way for one of my friends to let me know their true intentions – needless to say, I realized it was a paw belonging to scooter thomas. Then I threw up.
