I’ve still got rum balls to roll, people. So let’s make this run-down of the week’s openings quick, using an easy-to-understand grading system that’s both familiar and festive:
The Wrestler: NICE
Gran Torino: NICE
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: NOT AS NICE AS IT THINKS IT IS
Marley & Me: NAUGHTY
Bedtime Stories: REALLY NAUGHTY
The Reader: BORDERLINE, BUT I’M VOTING NAUGHTY
The Spirit: PRETTY BUT NAUGHTY
Valkyrie: WHO CARES
Ho ho ho, etc.!
