Your Name = Boring Movie Title
ENTERTAINMENT

Michael Clayton

Is this a politically charged potboiler or a friend of your dad's? Who knows? And that's why about three people outside the Motion Picture Academy's membership saw this thing.

Mary Reilly

Wow. Way to sell a retelling of the Jekyll and Hyde story in a way that guarantees no one will see it. Why would we want to explore the mind of a scientist with a murderous alter ego when we can watch the whole thing from the POV of some sad-sack Irish broad?

Rob Roy

Michael Collins

Fact: The most frequent answers to the question "Have you seen Michael Collins?" are: "Yeah, he helped a buddy of mine move" and "That douche owes me $50."

Erin Brockovich

Charlie Bartlett

Billy Bathgate

Wait…isn't this that sex maneuver where you squeeze a water bottle with your sphincter muscles?

Forrest Gump
