It's a little disappointing to see Nicolas Cage ousted while Jack Nicholson remains. But Brody and Caine deserve their spots, while Scott and Grant are excellent choices.

/Esther Kahn/ (Desplechin) - 10/10

Happy Birthday.

An Education (Scherfig) - 5/10

Wonderful star turn and supporting female cast lift schematic script that leaves us with two messages: 1) be bored and work hard through the early 60's, and 2) don't trust Jews.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is illustrated in the dictionary next to "putrid"

Ha! No it's not! I just checked and you're wrong! There is nothing illustrated in the dictionary next to putrid.
