    The Proposal (2009)

    How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)

    " If anything, the extras on this deluxe edition of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days provide further evidence of the links between reading trashy women's magazines and the pursuit of plastic surgery."

    The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008)

    W. (2008)

    " I'm still not quite sure why we needed a dramatization of one of the country's darkest chapters before it had even ended, but it apparently played a small role in my parents voting for a Democrat in the 2008 election, so I guess it was good for something."
