T. Burton's Charlie movie is amazing, though me & A.O. Scott aren't feeling the flashbacks (even though they have Christopher Lee as a dentist & Depp as Wonka gets to say something like "Sorry I was having a flashback"). I also wish there was something equal to the freakout scene in the boat with the wild colors & the screaming & G. Wilder's creepy poetry intonation. I'd call it a tie if there was a race or an election or something. Hard to tell when navigating the murky waters of childhood nostalgia (I'm looking at you Star Wars).
Also, Wedding Crashers is exactly as funny as you think it is. How funny that is, is up to you of course, Count Chocula.
Double Also, they've made a sequel to the Transporter, which if you didn't see it, had a scene where the guy deflected a shoulder launched surface to air missile with what I believe was a tea service tray. The new one looks like a 90 minute infomercial for the Audi A6 & kickboxing. And yes, you can go with me when I see it.
