Cold Opening – A Message from Michael Bloomberg
The humor of snow bamboozlement is long overdue. There were several individual items in this sketch that were funny, but the list format rendered matters a little stale overall. This is a rare example of a sketch that was “too New York.” Fred’s Bloomberg impression may have been accurate, but I don’t really know. Bloomberg just isn’t as well-known outside of New York as, say, Giuliani was. B

Jim Carrey’s Monologue
This is exactly the sort of positive energy we could hope for when Jim Carrey hosts SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE! And Lisa Loeb’s sister sure is cute. Too bad she’s taken. B+

Bosley Hair Restoration
Here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again. Original Grade: B+

jmunney A Year at the Movies, Cinema Leave a comment

2010 was another record-breaking year for the frequency of my moviegoing.  But this was no ordinary record-breaking; I smashed my previous high of 40-something with a total of 66 visits to a movie theatre, marking my first year of averaging at least one movie per week.  The following is a list of every movie I saw at a theatre in 2010, with dates, showtimes, and theatre locations denoted as well.  Movies that I saw multiple times (only one fits that category this year) are only counted once towards the final tally.
