SHANIA CARES!

April 10, 2005 by Tim Riley

I LOVE HUCKABEES (DVD)


Reminds us how much we hate West Wing’s TOTAL WASTE of Lily Tomlin…not to mention Kristin Chenowith… (John Spencer for VP? Can they Cheney-ize his broken ticker…?)


UPSIDE OF ANGER


Plenty of yucks, worth seeing for Pat Nixon, you’ll forget it’s Costner, daughters are thinly drawn, shocker twist should have come halfway, limps to a finish. Rental.



SUPER SIZE ME (Showtime)


Radicalizing. Favorite line: how at the end it takes him six months to burn off the last 4 pounds…



OUR RATINGS, OURSELVES
(New York Times Magazine, April 10)


Missing graph: aren’t both Arbitron and Nielsen in bed with the grocers and drug chains who graph every product on those “preferred customer” cards?


COVER OF THE WEEK


Train From Kansas City (Greenwich-Barry), Neko Case, THE TIGERS HAVE SPOKEN (Anti), original by the ShangriLas
