It is very rare that I write comments for films anymore, but after witnessing the wonderful Tiptoes, and reading all the negative feedback, I felt inclined.

The movie is never played for laughs, as I originally thought it would be. Instead Tiptoes has got to be the most honest look at the life of dwarfs, I have ever seen. The film examines the serious subject matter of, if you knew your child was going to be a dwarf would you still want to have it? Would you still love it? Gary Oldman (the finest working actor in films today) gives an amazing performance as the title character. His work here should have earned him an Oscar. Yes Gary plays a dwarf, but its an honest performance -- not just a gimmick. Matthew McCognaughey and Kate Beckinsale quite frankly have never been better. Peter Dinklage has got to be given props for turning a nothing role into something special.

I loved this movie. Ignore the bad buzz and enjoy this fine misunderstood American Masterpiece. 10/10

Blood has been in the water for more than a month, ever since some a-hole thought up the idea of calling this picture the worst film ever made. It's not. It's not even the worst film of the month, that honor would have to go to Tomb Raider 2 or even LXG. This is not a critics picture. This film is far to un-pc for any major critic to get away with giving it a passing grade. And yes, Lopez can't act. However, I went into the film thinking I was going to see some disaster, and instead, I got a nice surprise. Ben Affleck gives a very good performance in this film. Some of his lines had me laughing out loud, "What the f- is this, mental illness week?" The "turkey time" line is so bizarre and out of place, it made me laugh out loud. The ending is a little slow paced, but the film has a good enough sense of humor and it's heart is in the right place. I smiled a lot in Gigli. Christopher Walken and Al Pacino are a hoot. 8/10
