Armando Iannucci’s ‘In the Loop’ is a smart political satire with a terrific cast.

When Michael Moore describes his new Untitled Bailout Movie as a “vampire” film, I can only assume that he’s written and shot his own Stephanie Meyer fan-fic. Go Team Goldman Sachs!

We know you already used the inauguration as an excuse to slack off at work, but we figure you might as well watch it again and keep the slac-train rolling.

I know that most of you hate it when we get into politics here on FSR, but lets just consider this a work of comedy and move on with our lives.

Buddy Cianci is a winner, in or out of prison.

One way to make things more tolerable is to knock back a few while watching the movie. Who knows… maybe after a few beers, Robert Redford’s sermons might make more sense.
