Well, Friday is here and no new review from myself and J.D. Despite the big comedy showdown happening this weekend between Mike Myers and Steve Carell, we could not see either of them this week.

Thanks to our good friends at Transbuddha for pointing this little gem out. It’s “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” re-edited as a heart-wrenching drama and rescored with the Kronos Quartet’s creepy music from Darren Aronofsky’s “Requiem for a Dream.” It’s also proof that a good score can make anything about a hundred times more effective.

Seventeen years after “Point Break” washed up in movie theaters, surf’s up for the sequel! Are they kidding? I cant imagine it will star either Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze.
