How come there’s an elm tree in the yard of every house in every movie ever made, but nothing is ever made out of elm wood? What’s wrong with elm wood?

Heh, I wrote that Cingular story (see last line of article). Yahoo! News – Computer Hacker Ordered to Live with Parents

And now the results… I didn’t do as well as I do normally… I figured this week’s token “best” rating would go to Matchstick Men, as Lost in Translation seems to be getting less solid notice. The D- for Dummy is a big surprise, though Owen Gleiberman is clearly turned off by the satirical Jewish…

Just how predictable are the film critics of Entertainment Weekly? While I’m anxiously waiting for my subscription to expire in January 2006, let’s have a little fun.
