Film Critic Quote of the Week

A.O. Scott, on "Zohan":

A highly skilled military operative who specializes in counterterrorism, he is basically a less anguished version of the character played by Eric Bana in “Munich.” The brilliant opening sequence places him in a tableau that would bring a tear to Theodor Herzl’s eye. Whether it would be a tear of joy or dismay I will leave to more seasoned polemicists, but there is something both appealing and authentic about a vision of the Jewish state on its 60th birthday that emphasizes lithe young bodies frolicking, flirting and playing Hacky Sack on the beach. If you will it, it is no dream.
I think it's funny that nearly every review has mentioned "Munich." That, or "Shampoo."

Is anyone mentioning Zoolander? I think of Zoolander every time I see the posters for this movie.
