There wasn't really much to it, but it was surprisingly entertaining. I think the fact that I nearly had the theater to myself boosted my opinion a little.I was really pleasantly surprised by Cyrus too, which is not at all the movie it was sold as, or a movie you would expect to find Jonah Hill in.The Squid and the Whale is one of my favourites, no lie.In my world, you wouldn't expect to find Jonah Hill in any movie.Really, Dave? No Jonah Hill for you? Have you see Superbad? To me- one of the funniest movies, ever. I can watch it over and over. Both Michael Cera and Jonah Hill were great in it. Their playing off each other is the heart of the movie and hilarious.

I'm a big fan of Le corbeau and Clouzot in general. If you like Clouzot you should all check out L'Enfer d'Henri-Georges Clouzot, the documentary about Clouzot's damned movie project L'Enfer from 1964 starring Romy Schneider. The documentary recounts the story of the obsessive director who lost all control - interesting interviews etc - but the real coup is all the supposedly lost footage that's been found by the filmmakers. Sublime stuff.I wrote about the documentary on my Swedish blog, but you should click this link anyway just to check out the screenshots:http://degrell.blogspot.com/2011/01/filmaret-2011-2-lenfer-dhenri-georges.html
The Wages of Fear is great. Diabolique is pretty damn good, too.
Wages Of Fear is great.
OK, wait. I was in Greg's corner, but I have to reconsider whether to support someone who thinks "funniest movie of all time" is a tossup between Superbad and Spinal Tap.
