Almost Famous (2000) – “Rock and roll can save the world… and the chicks are great.” Granted, the character who says these words in Cameron Crowe’s 2000 film Almost Famous is kind of an egocentric buffoon, but even egocentric buffoons get one right every now and then.

New Girl – “Wedding” Oh Zooey Deschanel… Jess should be the most annoying character to ever be on television, but she isn’t.

Yes Man (2008) — I saw this film in theaters and thought it was reasonably funny but nothing special, even as far as Jim Carrey’s high-concept comedies are concerned. Then I saw it again the other day on HBO and I found myself really won over by the idea of saying “Yes” to every opportunity … Continue reading →
