"While watching Zack and Miri Make a Porno, it is possible to occasionally forget that you are watching a Kevin Smith movie. Mainly because he doesn’t show up in the film, a rare and appreciated move for the guy who has played “Silent Bob” in 6 out of the 8 theatrical releases he’s directed. Then there’s the cast that is involved, which makes Z&M seem like the offspring of Judd Apatow and John Waters. But there are a number of things that do make it clearly a Smith joint, such as the obligatory employment of Jason Mewes — in the role he was born to play, even moreso than “Jay” — and the potentially pitying use of Jeff Anderson, who may have been the only actor to agree to receiving that accidental Hot Carl. And then there’s the most recognizable element: Smith’s inability let the poop jokes go in order to concentrate on his characters, and the relationships between them. It’s the filmmaker’s Achilles heel, and it’s one of five we at SpoutBlog have noticed are holding back the esteem ... "

"So I have been watching a lot of science fiction movies this week, first it was 2001 a space odyssey then it was The Fifth Element so I decided I wanted to watch a sports movie. The movie I chose was Jerry Maguire, but although it has something to do with sports the movie is a complete chick flick. Despite not being a fan of chick flicks this movie wasn't bad, and it had a few funny parts. I also now understand some of the things Ben Stiller was doing when he was imitating cruse on celebrity jeopardy. In conclusion if you like chick flicks then you will really like this movie, otherwise you might like it ok. "

"The sports Top 10 is a difficult list to assess. How many truly good sports movies are there, and I ask this as a sports fan? Raging Bull (1980) is arguably the greatest film of the 1980s, and Rocky (1976) was a little labor of love, far from the semi-joke blockbuster that it is often remembered as in light of its sequels. They likely deserve their places at the top of the list, especially Raging Bull. As to the rest of the films, I have a lot of affection for Breaking Away (1979) and really, it's a lovely little film that I'd put higher on the list. I also like Hoosiers (1986) and Bull Durham (1988), but they both have obvious flaws (as Anne-Marie noted, the basketball film falls short in its depiction of the on-the-court action; the final is especially poorly paced and shot and edited in an oblique way. I've always thought that Bull Durham's final act stretched on a little too long, needlessly deferring Annie and Crash's final settling in together). For the remainder, well, I don ... "

"Almost Famous is one of those movies that will stop me from channel surfing to watch it when it is on. Although it has its flaws, it is one of Cameron Crowe's best and most personal movies. It is right up there with Singles (1992). I loved how this movie really evoked the feeling of the 70s. That mood that what was special about the 60s was slipping away. That feeling is mirrored by the gradual loss of William's innocence as he leaves the shelter of his overprotective mother for the care of Penny Lane. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is great (as always) as the rock critic who is William's mentor and offers advice that is too eagerly discarded until he realizes its worth far too late. It is hard to believe that Crowe could make this and be the force behind the soulless Jerry Maguire (1996). "

"A sports movie with a heart. Probably Cruise’s finest performance (before he became a religious whack job and abducted sweet lil Katie Holmes). I’m a sports nut, so the framework of the film was appealing, and the cameos were a nice touch. The kid is freakin’ adorable. Renee Zellweger has never been more appealing. This movie had me at hello…..but I won’t go so far as to say it completes me. "
