Could this be the worst batch of Thanksgiving movies in history? Sure, last year we got Oliver Stone's turkey Alexander, but we also got Brad Anderson's pretty good The Machinist. I remember one year my grandmother took me to the movies and our choices were Oh, God! You Devil and Supergirl, but I still had fun. Now we have Rent, Just Friends, and the godawful Yours, Mine and Ours (thanks to bad scheduling and early deadlines, I was not able to see Ice Harvest).
Fortunately, a truly great DVD graces us this week as well: the long-awaited and essential Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection, from New Line. I also checked out Paramount's very good Hammett (1982), and a collection of Andy Sidaris films, as well as the horrible ripoff, 50 Cent: Refuse 2 Die. And though I didn't get a look at the DVD itself, Spielberg's War of the Worlds comes out this week.
Additionally, Sarah Silverman was kind enough to respond to an e-mail interview I sent her a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, guys, I don't have her e-mail address; it was handled by a third party. I wish I could have followed up to some of her answers, but you can't have everything...
Finally, my list of the best Thanksgiving movies: 1) Home for the Holidays, 2) Hannah and Her Sisters, 3) Planes, Trains and Automobiles, 4) Pieces of April, 5) Broadway Danny Rose, 6) Spider-Man, 7) Avalon. Enjoy!
