Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story & Tin Men

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story was blah. Occasionally funny, sometimes just so ridiculous you had to laugh. But really, just homophobic and too ridiculous. The Deus Ex Machina treasure chest was about right for the movie. I wanted more Alan Tudyk. More Wash would have been a good thing.

Tin Men. Fine Young Cannibals? What the hell? The other music was vintage, but Fine Young Cannibals don't belong in a movie about 1963 Baltimore aluminum siding salesmen. What an amazing cast, with some of my favorite character actors, like Bruno Kirby, J.T. Walsh, Seymour Cassell, and John Mahoney, along with a very good Barbara Hershey, Danny DeVito, and Richard Dreyfuss. Plus, it's like an extension of Levinson's other Baltimore films, meaning that I enjoyed it.
