Serpico - did they really pick this to make a play out of for Rushmore? How odd. Al Pacino as the eponymous NYC cop who dares to take a stand against corruption. The most distracting thing was his "street" disguise, though. I couldn't stop wondering why no one in town dressed like that. It was sort of boring and sort of frustrating, as he kept being transferred over and over again to more and more corrupt divisions in the burroughs.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force - While trying to discover the truth about their origins, an evil exercise machine starts to destroy their town. Well, it's Aqua Teen. It kept my attention the whole movie, at any rate.

Smokin' Aces - Jeremy Piven is a Vegas entertainer who got caught up in the mob and is now squealing on the last real mob boss, who put a million dollar price tag on his head as a result. Many many hitmen and women, as well as cops and feds, converge on the hotel where he's camped out, and chaos ensues. If they'd toned down the shootouts a bit maybe. As it is, it's just totally ridiculous. Ben Affleck does pull off a Matt Damon/Departed voice to an eerie degree, but I don't know why.

Shower - The first ten minutes are utterly hilarious, but then it's the standard family thing which turns so depressing as the eldest son steps up to fulfill his duties, that I had to watch Simpsons for four hours to feel less depressed.

I was wondering if this was any good. But ew, Ben Affleck.
