Why Gran Torino Is Well Served By Awards Screener DVDs

Because comedies usually play better on television.

Say what you will, I'd still put good money down on a worshipful, feverish Ken Turan rave, and maybe his top spot for Best of 2008.

I thought the common wisdom was the comedies played best in a packed house because laughter is generally considered to be contagious.

Not when the comedy isn't funny!

I hate that I was so busy this summer I missed almost all of the comedies I wanted to check out...Tropic Thunder, Stepbrothers. I'm sure there are more. Isn't that very interesting of me to say?

I love you--because that's exactly what I said.
