After waiting forever and ever, I decided to finally view Borat this morning. I was both entertained AND appalled. Yes, there are some very funny lines in the movie. Particularily when Borat is interacting with unsuspecting citizens. It was fascinating to watch how people reacted to this crazy man. Where this movie lost points was in it's unneccessary crudeness. I did not need to see 2 naked men wrestling on a bed. This is supposed to be a comedy, not gay porn! However, if you subtracted the 2 tasteless scenes with the unneeded nudity, you'd have one heck of a funny movie.

The other morning, while scanning the premuim movie channels, I came across a kid movie called
How to Eat Fried Worms . It was very kiddish but also entertaining in a simplistic kind of way. The movie scored bonus points with me by casting Tom Cavanagh as the main kid's father. Tom starred as the title character in Ed, an early 2000's NBC show that rocked (and should have been on dvd already dammit!) Anyway, Worms is a pleasant enough time waster if there's nothing else on.
