R2D2's Ultimate Top 10 Countdown Of The 2000s #1 - Comedies.

We're officially in the last 10 days of the year (and decade), and every other movie blogger is doing their Top 10 lists of the the year and/or decade. So I knew I had to follow the popular crowd... but I didn't just want to do one Top 10 list. No, I want to do 10 Top 10 lists. You heard me.

For the next 10 days, I'm going to post one Top 10 list a day, counting down some of my favorite movies. And this is how it will work: The next 10 days will consist of my Top 10 favorite films of different genres from the past decade. And then, on January 1, I will be posting my Top 10 of the decade. I will actually post 2 Top 10s for this post (OK, that's technically 12 Top 10 lists, but whatever). The first will use, in a new order, my #1 choices from the previous 10 lists to have a fair-and-balanced (but not in the Fox News kinda way) list. But then I'll be making another Top 10 of my overall favorites of the year (for instance, what if I liked my #2 horror spot more than my #1 musical spot?).

Note: These lists will not be "the best," but they will be my favorites. If those coincide, then great. But otherwise, these lists will just be what I consider to be my favorite films of the last 10 years.

The "genres" I'll be taking a look at are the following (in no particular order): Comedies, Dramas, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror, Musicals, Animated (including anime), Action/Thriller, Oscar Bait, Decade Specials (Superhero, Remakes, etc.), and Foreign (outside America, live-action, subtitled only... I know these can fall under numerous other genres, but I wanted to keep foreign films together. The only ones I won't put in here are anime, seeing I'm putting those under Animated).

So for our first list, I'll be taking a look at Comedies.

Top 10 Comedies of the 2000s

Comedy is a very wide genre. There are tons of subgenres that go with it: action/comedy, horror/comedy, British comedy, dark comedy, dramedy, slapstick, gross-out, sex/teen, etc. I'll be spanning the full spectrum of comedy for this list. How I've decided whether to include certain movies in other genres if they're cross-genre (such as horror/comedy) depends on the level of each genre they have. For instance, if they're more horror than comedy, they'll be in horror, and vice versa. All this being said, let's get into the list.

10. 11:14 (2003)

A dark comedy, 11:14 is funny, thrilling, and stylish. It has a great cast, a great concept, and a great twist ending. It's also incredibly underrated and mostly unknown. The film stars Henry Thomas, Hilary Swank, Shawn Hatosy, Colin Hanks, Ben Foster, Patrick Swayze, Rachel Leigh Cook, and Jason Segel. Its concept is similar to those of Go and Vantage Point, where the same story is told numerous times, but through different perspectives until you get the full story. But I particularly love how this movie pulls it off (with every perspective centering around events that occur at 11:14 PM), due to a major twist that is revealed through the final perspective.

I put it in my number 10 spot because, while it is an excellent movie, it's not the funniest on the list (it gets a bit dark and dramatic at times). But it's still great enough to make it.

9. Superbad (2007)

If the 2000s were anything in comedy, especially the latter half, they belonged to one Judd Apatow. I wanted at least one Apatow flick on this list, and I almost gave it to the one that started it all--40-Year-Old Virgin. But in the end, it came down to laughs, and I felt Superbad just held more. It's also the film that skyrocketed Michael Cera's career (and arguably Jonah Hill's, if you don't count Knocked Up). It also gave us the gorgeous Emma Stone. In fact, there are a few people in this film that appear in some of my other films higher up on the list. And that probably wouldn't have happened without this movie.

8. Death at a Funeral (2007)

I saw this movie earlier this year, and as soon as I did, I immediately had to go out and buy it. This movie is downright hilarious. From a stoned Alan Tudyk to a gay dwarf affair/blackmail scandal, this movie pulls all the right punches and delivers on the laughs.

7. Role Models (2008)

One of my favorite movies of last year, Role Models was an Apatow picture without Apatow being involved. It involved McLovin himself, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, as well as Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Jane Lynch, Ken Jeong, and Jo Lo Truglio, all from previous Apatow-produced (and/or directed) films. And, of course, Seann William Scott and newcomer Bobb'e J. Thompson as loudmouthed, sex-obsessed characters. Of course, the heart of the film is in the relationship between Mintz-Plasse and Rudd, with Rudd's slow acceptance of people a little different from the norm. Every character in this film was brilliantly written (except maybe straight-girl Elizabeth Banks), but it's like every character was written to be memborable.

My favorite scenes, however, involved all the nerdy LARPing. A bit of an RPG nerd myself, I really took into the fantasy nerd humor. Without these scenes, the movie wouldn't have been even as remotely good as it was.

6. EuroTrip (2004)

This is probably one of the main movies on my list that probably won't be making too many others. I'd call it a guilty pleasure, but I honestly think the movie is too funny to be a 'bad' enough movie for a guilty pleasure. Outside of maybe one or two people, nobody in this movie went on to do anything greater. It's over-the-top and silly, but it's loads of fun. Not to mention Matt Damon's cameo is one of my all-time favorites. And the "Scotty Doesn't Know" song is a classic in my mind.

5. Gamers: Dorkness Rising (2008)

Another movie that I'd put money on won't be making any lists, but not for the same reasons as the previous film. The reason this movie won't be making lists is that almost nobody has ever heard of it. It's an incredibly low-budget film that you can only buy online. But I swear, if you're a gamer of any kind, this is one of the funniest movies you will have ever seen. But what's so special about this movie is that, even if you've never played a game, D&D or otherwise, it's still accessible enough to be good fun (in a similar way that Role Models was funny to those who have never LARPed). The best thing, though? It doesn't make fun of gamers. It embraces and celebrates the hobby. And I dare you to watch this movie and not want to do any gaming afterward.

4. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)

Who doesn't love Robert Downey Jr.? His fast-talking and forgetful narration quickly made this movie one of my favorites. And Val Kilmer's Gay Perry is great, too. This movie moves very fast, and the ending is hard to grasp the first time you watch it. But the great thing about this movie? It lends itself to rewatchability. Similar to this year's The Hangover, it's a cross-over genre you don't usually see too often: the comedy/mystery. But whereas The Hangover focuses more on the comedy than the mystery, this film blends both in equal amounts, making for a good laugh-out-loud time while keeping you intrigued by the detective story. Oh, and did I mention Robert Downey Jr.?

3. Zombieland (2009)

One of this year's best, Zombieland is a horror/comedy of the ages, right up there with another that doesn't need to be named. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone, Zombieland was an unexpected hit (well, to a lot of people other than me). It's stylish and fun, and Eisenberg and Harrelson worked amazingly well off each other. Not to mention it has one of the best cameo appearances ever.

2. Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

This is a movie that should be on a lot of people's lists. If somebody discussed comedies of the 2000s and didn't reference this film, they shouldn't be discussing comedy. A dry comedy if there ever was one, Napoleon Dynamite escalated far past cult status and into the history books as a low-budget film that, even if you've never seen it, you probably still know the whole film from beginning to end. Why? Because you probably know at least one person who walked around quoting it. Has there ever been another movie where basically every single line is quotable comic gold? I don't think so. Idiot!

1. Shaun of the Dead (2004)

If you didn't know this was going to be my number one comedy choice, then you probably don't read my blog on a regular basis. As one of my all-time favorite movies, of course Shaun of the Dead was gonna hit my #1 comedy spot. It's got everything. Simon Pegg. Brilliant writing. Zombies. Romance. Thrills. Laughs. Quotability. A lot of people might put Hot Fuzz on their list over this, but I honestly like Shaun so much more. I love Fuzz, but I think the writing in Shaun is tighter and funnier. Not to mention the "everything happens at least twice" aspect is stronger and more well-done in Shaun, which is one of my favorite things about the film. Oh, and it has zombies.


End Notes: So that's my Top 10 Comedies of the 2000s. I know I'll probably get lambasted for not including more popular films such as The Hangover or Knocked Up, or more "sophisticated" comedies, such as The Royal Tenenbaums, but remember, this is a list of my favorite comedies. And "favorite" is subjective.

AVATAR.

I really don't know what to say. I'm still in a bit of awe from the film. I suppose you could say I was marginally taken in by the hype, but not even close to fully. I do enjoy James Cameron films. But I wasn't sure what to make of this movie by the trailer. But I suppose my lesson was learned: Don't try to decide what to feel about the movie by the trailer alone. You just have to see it to believe it, I guess.

Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is an ex-marine and current paraplegic. His twin brother was involved with the Avatar program, a program in which people link up to a hybrid lifeform that looks like the Na'Vi, the humanoid natives of the planet Pandora. On Pandora is a mineral substance that is worth a lot of money. The Avatar folks, led by Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), want to try a peaceful way to get the Na'Vi to relocate from the Hometree, which just so happens to be the largest deposit of the mineral. But the military folks, led by Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), have more violent measures in mind. But when Jake's avatar gets involved with the natives on a personal level, the colonel takes it upon himself to enlist Jake to give him secret intel. But Jake, who is quickly learning the lifestyles and rituals of the Na'Vi, primarily from a female named Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), begins to realize that the side he's working for might not be the right one.

To get the negatives out of the way first, I'll begin with the story. There really isn't one. That mineral stuff is really only mentioned by name once and only shown twice (that I remember). It's not really discussed at any great length. There are hints that Earth is a dying planet, but the idea isn't really explored, either. Two things really come about due to the lack of story: 1) certain character developments (such as the Norm character, who feels like he had some deleted scenes that altered his character in spots) and 2) the entirety of the second act comes off as one giant montage. In other words, the movie has your basic "Guy Infiltrates Enemy, Guy Discovers Enemy Is Good And His Team Is Enemy, Enemy Finds Out About Guy And Shuns, Guy Finds Way To Prove Self, Guy Fights With Opposing Team" story and doesn't go much deeper than that.

But it doesn't have to. What the movie lacks in story, it makes up with... well, everything else. I can't even say enough about the visuals. You really get nothing from the trailer. You can tell there's gonna be eye candy, but until you're sitting in a dark theater and seeing the full movie in its 3D glory (and you must see it in 3D... otherwise, there's probably no point), you have no idea. Every little detail is gorgeous.

And the movie is so damn imaginative it makes me weep with envy. This is really one of those stories that makes me go "I wish I had thought of that..." And not just about the Avatar thing. That's hardly even the tip of the iceberg. There's a whole new mythos created for this film. The plant life, the animals, the religion, the landscape, and even the way of life--the detail and thought put into this new planet and this new species is breathtaking and rich.

The acting is great, as well. Stephen Lang would make R. Lee Ermey proud with his portrayal of a douchebag military officer. It's funny to see the two completely opposite sides of Stephen Lang--first a more comedic and/or whimsical character in The Men Who Stare At Goats, and now this. Also in the movie are Michelle Rodriguez and Giovanni Ribisi, who do well with the little screen time they're given. But I really wanna throw it up for Zoe Saldana, who portrayed the emotions of this alien being so beautifully. Though I kinda found it funny how her character was conflicted with Eve Syndrome (no matter what was going on, the leaves always covered her 'parts'. I swear, she could be swinging upside down in high gusting winds, and the leaves would always stay perfectly positioned around her breasts). I don't know, I think that was more distracting than it would have been having random bits of nudity. Or maybe we've already met the year's quota on blue genitalia with Watchmen.

Anywho, on that note, I suppose I'll wrap this up. The movie's only real negative is its lack of story... which doesn't even feel like an issue until about halfway through. The movie is nearly 3 hours long, and when you have a nearly 3-hour movie with little story, you start to feel it after a while. But luckily the visuals are there to keep you going. And the characters do get you invested. You root for the Na'Vi, even though the movie is mostly predictable. So go out and see it, definitely. But see it in 3D, or else you're completely missing out. I'm not even going to dock my final score for the story issue, either. The movie was so pure imagination and fun that I'm gonna give it my highest.


Royale With Cheese

Film Production Diary: Day 4.

Today was a wash, but I figured it would be. It's the day before Christmas break. One of my guys didn't even show up. The others showed up late. And the scene we could do involved lip syncing, so of course nobody could keep a straight face. So after about 20 minutes of what were essentially bloopers, I just called it a day and let them go home.

So we'll just be finishing up filming in 2 weeks when we get back to school, I suppose. Now it's down to editing what I have!

Film Production Diary: Day 3.

Had a few bumps today. It pretty much started with this one girl, who has been there every day after school this week just to tag along, and whose scene finally comes up today, tells me she can't stay after school. Then I find out that 3 people I needed tomorrow won't be able to be there, but I can at least film around/without them, so that's fine. One good thing, at least, was that I was supposed to be in a parent conference today after school, and the conference was canceled, so I was able to get right to the filming.

I filmed a couple scenes during my seventh period class. One, I had to run my main guy down to the bathroom and film some filler I forgot to film yesterday. Then I re-shot a scene we did yesterday, but just his perspective, as it was supposed to take place during a class period... and yesterday, every shot of my main guy showed every desk behind him empty. So I had to re-film his lines with kids in their desks. Of course, THAT was interesting, with them doing crazy stuff in the background.

Then after school was all crazy. We were all over the place. We had to go to the gym to shoot a scene, but the gym was locked, and then we were followed by these three guys (2 of them my students, the other just hangs with them). So we had to wait until the basketball players (including those 3) started practice so we could use the gym. So while we were waiting, I saw a couple of my students walking by and decided to do a scene I had forgotten to film with them yesterday. But I needed this other guy who I didn't have, so I had to put my main guy in the other guy's place, but hidden behind a tree.

So we go back to the gym and realize we couldn't do what I had planned because of the basketball players, so we had to improvise. We used a back patio instead, after doing a shot crossing the outskirts of the gym.

But before we could use the back patio, we had to get rid of a group of students (3 of which were also mine, two of them being the aforementioned 2 I had just filmed with before the gym thing) who were talking back there. So I decided to do another shot using the group, as I needed a crowd of students walking by. Then from there, we went back to the patio before one of my students decides to tell me he has to leave soon. So then we cross to the front of the school to do a couple entrances for the beginning of the movie, and then I could let him leave.

Then, back at the patio, my main guy and this other girl have to do their scene that was originally in the gym. We get through that and then do a few random filming bits for a montage before going in for the big 'awkward' scene. The girl has to lean in to kiss the guy, who ducks out of the way all freaked out because he sees his girlfriend (the girl who couldn't be here today). But I actually think it worked out for the better, because I like how the reactions are without her in the immediate shot.

And that was pretty much it. We went back to my classroom for a while, and I had to wait around with one student until her ride showed up.

Then I went out and bought some things for set building tomorrow... nearly 30 bucks for a scene that's gonna be 5-10 seconds. Crazy things I do for my students. I know I'm not gonna finish filming before the break, but at least I'll have the majority of it done. Maybe it's for the better, anyway, because I could sense them (particularly my main guy) getting tired of staying after school so much. But we'll get it done, God help me.

Film Production Diary: Day 2.

Today went so much more smoothly. We were meant to film 4 scenes today, and we filmed all 4 scenes. I learned from yesterday's issues. Instead of cue cards, I just fed them lines if they didn't remember, and I'll edit it from there. The acting was decent, the action was good... it's going good.

I also filmed a couple things during some classes today, as well.

But I'm still gonna have to hustle if I'm gonna finish before Christmas.

I also did a bit of experimental filming, using a cart to rush down the hallway, then do a 180 around the actor as he stops and then continues running forward.

Though had a bit of an issue at the end. The main guy had to borrow my cell phone for a scene, but then forgot to give it back before he left (he was in a rush). So I had to call my phone and have him come back to the school to get it back to me.

But otherwise... good day.

Film Production Diary: Day 1.

Well, filming has officially started on my film.

... and it's officially already behind schedule and going rough.

What we were meant to record: Scenes 6.2, 8, and 16.
What we actually recorded: Scenes 6.2 and part of 8.

Most of the issues stemmed from the fact that none of my actors knew any of their lines. Nobody was taking it seriously. We had to write lines down on cue cards/white boards, which took a ton of time. Because of this, a lot of the times on these scenes had them looking to the side to read the cards.

On top of all that, I kept having other of my students (and some not my students) coming up and interrupting. Then there were bouts of giggles. There was no understanding of 'quiet on the set'. There was too much joking around and not enough seriousness. And then, right when this one kid's scene was coming up, he had to leave... so I had to shoot the scene without him and I'll have to edit him in later (hence 'part of 8'). We were also rushing because, even though I said it a million times (AND it was on the permission form), this one girl had no idea she had to stay after school until this afternoon, right before we were supposed to film. But she ended up skipping her bus and going home with a friend.

It's just craziness. And this was just day one! We have an hour and a half to film stuff, and that so can't happen with them all not knowing their lines and whatever.

I so hope I can be a master wizard editor extraordinaire and get it to work. Though I think either way, my first movie is *so* Ed Wood. And I don't mean the Tim Burton film.

R2D2... The One With A Teacher Moment.

Just sharing... I had a "teacher moment" today. As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm making a movie with my students. Well, today was auditions.

There's this one student in my last class who wasn't gonna do acting, but was just gonna settle for working in "lighting and sound." He was in a down mood by my class, too. But then I went out into the hall to audition with a girl, and he came out with us. So while we were out there, I had him read the lead role opposite the girl so I could just stand back and listen/watch.

He ended up out-performing everybody else that day combined. He was fantastic, practically just how I had pictured the dialogue in my head as I was typing it up. I gave him a parental consent form and told him to get it signed, because he was going to be the lead role.

Needless to say, he went from a bad mood to a great day in minutes. He started talking about how he wanted to get into more acting stuff, how I boosted his confidence, and how he wants to be the next George Clooney :P . It was great.

On a side-note, while it was no "O Captain, My Captain," I did stand on a desk today, but then I fell over and hurt my shin.

R2D2... The One Where I Update About What's Going On.

I know I haven't updated the blog in a while, but I have been watching movies, I swear! I've just been annoyingly busy lately with this whole teaching thing.

On the upside, I'm totally using my students to make a movie. In the past, the hardest part of making a movie for me has been casting. Whenever I've tried to make a movie, casting has always fallen through, and I've never been able to do it. But now I have 120 (or so) students to choose from to force into it. As incentive, I'm even giving those who act an extra 100 for a major grade. And on top of that, I'm also forcing them to do all the writing for the script. (Of course, I'm giving them a basic outline to follow, since having 6 classes write one movie and have it be coherent isn't really possible without an outline). I feel like an evil genius or something.

The movie is a modern adaptation of "The Odyssey," since that's what we're studying right now. I even let them watch "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" so they can have a good idea of how it can work. Granted, my "modern" will actually be "modern," as in present-day school setting and not 1930s depression era. I'm having every scene be written twice (two different groups writing each scene) and taking the best of each version and mixing them together. This also gives me an excuse to put in my own ideas without either group being the wiser.

On the downside, I won't be able to upload it onto the internet (legally) unless I have complete permission from my students who act in it. So while I'm making a movie, there's a low chance I'll be able to show it to y'all (legally).

And we'll be following a super tight schedule. We start Pre-Production this week. They're writing the script this week and then auditioning for roles at the end of the week. Next week they work the middle ground between Pre-Production and Production in the first half of the week as they start working on music, lighting, rehearsals, etc. Then in the last half of next week, we move into Production and film it. After that is Christmas Break, and I take home the footage and move into the Post-Production stage, wherein I edit the film together and use all music suggestions, etc., to make it into a movie.

There's zero chance this movie won't get made, as it is for a grade and they must do it. The obstacles are going to be getting all filming done before the break so I can have the 2 week break for Post-Production. If I have to, I might extend filming, but that'll be tough, as most of the filming must be done after school, and my students don't drive yet. So here's to hoping I can pull it off in the timeline I'm giving us.

Oh, and of course, it's a learning experience for them. Yeah.

NINJA ASSASSIN.

For any of you who know me well enough, or any of you who just listen to the LAMBcast, you'll know I've been relatively excited about Ninja Assassin. Therefore, it's no surprise that I went and saw the first showing available this morning. Was it what I expected? Yes and No. The movie is about Raizo (Rain), a former ninja who decided to leave his clan and fight the ninja themselves (like an assassin of ninja... hence the non-redundant title, Ninja Assassin). We also have two Europol agents, Ryan (Ben Miles) and Mika (Naomie Harris), who stumble upon a scandal involving political assassinations that seem to have been committed by a ninja clan. Of course, everybody thinks they're crazy, at least until Mika starts being hunted down for knowing too much. But Raizo steps in to protect her, and they have to work together to stay alive while trying to bring down the clan.

The first thing that I noticed about this movie that I didn't expect was the amount of blood and gore. Good God, there's a lot of it. From the start, when a guy's head gets sliced (horizontally) in half and fake CGI blood splatters everywhere, you know you're in for something. I actually wasn't bothered by the amount of blood in the movie as much as I was bothered by the amount of CGI blood in the movie. It's in Tarantino amounts here, but instead of gushing from hoses strapped into fake stumps or whatever, it's just gushes and gushes of technically nothing. It isn't anything that bothered me enough to dislike the movie, however. And it isn't all CGI... in fact, when you get real fake blood instead of fake fake blood, it's all the more welcome.

The second thing I noticed was that the acting wasn't nearly as bad as I had read in early reviews. Sure, it's nowhere close to Oscar-worthy, but it's also nowhere close to, say, The Legend of Chun-Li from earlier this year. And I bring up this particular movie because the Naomie Harris/Ben Miles scenes reminded me a lot of the Chris Klein/Moon Bloodgood scenes from said movie. Fortunately, though, they weren't nearly as poorly written nor as horribly acted. And I have to say, Naomie Harris is a freakin' chameleon. Raise your hand if you've actually realized that this is the same woman who was Selena in 28 Days Later... and Tia Dalma (AKA the weird Bayou woman) from the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. And then we have Rain, who I've had my eye on since his brilliant (and award-winning) performance in I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK. Also, for those of you who don't know, he's also a South Korean pop star (which is what makes a certain "boy band" joke in the movie funny, but which will be lost to the majority of the film's American audience).

The third thing I noticed was that the action was really freakin' cool (not to mention it's all actual stunt men and little-to-no wire work, which I think adds to the cool-factor)... but it's not the whole movie. In fact, the first half of the movie is backstory interspersed with action scenes. It flips back and forth between three main occurrences: 1) Raizo's childhood being raised as a ninja, 2) Mika and Ryan trying to figure out the ninja conspiracy while not being killed, and 3) action scenes. It's mostly when Raizo's story and Mika's story converge that the action really picks up. Everything up until that point is really good, but everything after that point is awesome (and almost non-stop). In fact, had there not been any action throughout the whole movie except for the climax scene up through the final fight between Raizo and his old master, I would have just dubbed it a slow burn film and been content. Because seriously, that final fight is epic in both the choreography and in the filming style (anything from filming through a burning wall to just the silhouettes behind a lit sliding door... and more). OK, maybe not wholly content (it is a violent ninja movie, after all), but it was still an awesome climax nevertheless.

Story-wise, one thing I wanted to point out was that it could have used a bit more building up of the relationship between Raizo and his "rival" (the guy who always calls him "brother"). I suppose you see them competing against each other growing up, and he's involved in a very important moment in Raizo's life, but outside that, there wasn't really anything that made their bond strong. Because of this, their big fight scene near the end had less of an impact... or at least not as big as the one between Raizo and his old master.

Anyway, on the one hand, I expected it to be a cheesy action movie about ninjas. But what I got was an awesome action movie (with some strong horror elements, especially toward the end) about ninjas with a couple cheesy moments tossed in here and there. So I guess it met my expectations and then some. I was thoroughly entertained, albeit a bit thrown off at first by all the backstory in the first half of the film. I guess I wasn't expecting, what's the word... character depth (:P)? But it's there. And the movie is great fun.



A Keanu 'Whoa'

New: NEW MOON Review + Personal Update.

I posted a REVIEW of NEW MOON in the MOVIES section.

Also, I just felt like updating everybody, since I've been absent a bit. This past Wednesday, I left to Austin for a teacher conference that lasted until Friday. Unfortunately, Tuesday night, my laptop decided to stop functioning properly. So I spent the entirety of the trip (when I wasn't in the conference) trying to find the issue and fix it. Needless to say, I couldn't really watch movies or read blogs or make posts of my own. Then, yesterday (Saturday the 21st), I moved into my own place. Still have some boxes to unpack, but I'm almost there. Anywho, I'll keep this short. I ended up figuring out the issues and fixing my laptop, so now I'm able to get stuff posted up once again, as well as view all of your blogs out there in the blog-o-sphere. So yeah, that's about it. Y'all enjoy the review.
