The Spotlight: Bill Murray
It’s been coming for a long time. I’m surprised I lasted this long. Bill Murray is the cheese on my nachos. He’s the whipped cream on your hot chocolate. Bill Murray just makes everything better. He has become a beloved figure in American comedy, and has essentially earned himself legal rights to do anything he wants now. You see him, you smile. That’s just about all there is to it. Bill blew up in the 1980s...
What About Bob?
1991.159 Minutes. Rated PG Quote: Leo, I see salt and pepper… is there a salt substitute? Bill Murray moves right up the list of my favorite comedians more and more every year.

Also my favorite Richard Dreyfuss film not named Jaws ever. These guys work so...

Zombieland
88 minutes. Rated R. Over the course of the past year, I have apparently referenced Zombieland three separate times in four separate reviews. Why do I like this movie so much? Is it just that close to the zeitgeist bulls-eye? Or do I somehow see myself in the survivalist yuppie heroes of this popular comedy? The truth is manifold. Read on. Zombieland is the story of four survivors of the Great Plague of the 21st Century. According to...
