It’s only August 21, but let’s face facts. The summer movie season is history. So let’s hand out some awards to the best, the brightest … and everything in between. What the world needs now is another award category, right?
So without further ado …
Best Reason to Kick Your Television Set – “The Clone Wars” - This half-hearted feature was originally meant for the small screen — where it belongs.
Most Repulsive Torso – Jack Black in “Tropic Thunder” - OK, you’re comfortable with your lumpy body. We get it. Now put it away.
Best Reason to Beware the Great Trailer – “Pineapple Express” - Wish I never saw the riotous red band trailer that set me up for this major letdown.
Sauciest Performance by a 50-something Actress – Joan Allen in “Death Race” - Not your typical beauty, but she rocks as the icy prison warden in this cheese-fest.
Best Reason to Clean Your Drum Kit – “Step Brothers” - You’ll never pick up a pair of drumsticks again without thinking of this movie’s “musical” sequence.

I liked “Momma Mia!” Brosnan can’t sing, but the movie was fun! Did you dislike the movie or just Pierce? I guess I could go see if it’s on your review list.
Thought “Mamma Mia!” was a mess … but a colorful, tuneful one. Very good cast … and when those pop songs kick in it’s hard to dislike the movie too much.
