Random Musings-
Team America had some of the best songs of all time, too bad the movie didn't live up to it.
I Heart Huckabees was not a complete success, but the ideas and the interesting visuals made it a movie more people should have tried. It was not as pretentious as it seemed.
Can someone make a scary Hollywood movie? Please?????
Wil Ferrell is a comic genius. Enough said.
The voice work in "The Incredibles", "Shrek 2" and by Alan Tudyck in "i, Robot" was fabulous. Maybe actors do better without their bodies?

Hope you enjoyed the list, send your comments.
