| Cheers BB, Just the one new review, but I've got a whole bunch pending. Can't wait to see what everyone else is coming up with these days. |

Three newbies. Two oldies.
Background:
- Juno got major buzz at this year's Toronto Film Fest, stars Ellen Page (who played Kitty Pride in X-Men: The Last Stand) as a teenager who gets pregnant by Michael Cera (of Arrested Development/Superbad). Her parents are played by JK Simmons (who nailed J Jonah Jameson in all 3 Spiderman films) and Allison Janney (CJ on The West Wing). She decides to give the baby up for adoption to Jason Bateman (also from Arrested Development) and Jennifer Garner (Elektra, making 3 Marvel Comics icons in 1 film). From what I hear, I expect at least a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nod - perhaps this winter's Little Miss Sunshine.
- I admit, I stole my Terror of Tiny Town (the first - and last - ever all-singing all-midget western) review from a Daily Show item on the reality show "Kid Nation", but it was soooo good.
- Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow should have been a bigger hit. Silly, fun and original, it even included a posthumous appearance by Lawrence Olivier, with scenes digitally inserted from an old film.
- If I ever had to select my personal FWFR favourite submission, it would be this one for The Madness of King George. My son inspired the review when he noted the similarity between two disparate written objects. Since (more than) half the fun is figuring out what it means, I'll say no more. |

I've never heard that pronunciation before, but the dictionary does seem to say that it can be "gnoo", "gnyoo", "noo" or "nyoo". This explains why Conan's review is so popular.  |

I'd prefer it if it were "Ill III" instead of "III Ill".  |
