Spoiler alert: Daniel Day-Lewis wins the Oscar for Best Actor. Almost as shocking–the Misfits actually enjoy the Oscar telecast. This show has something for every Misfit: crude humor for Da Man, singing and dancing for Nancy, Bond for Lou, and sock puppets for Jim.

Cloud Atlas. Take six of Tom Hanks’ worst films, place them in different time periods, watch them all at the same time, and that’s sort of what Cloud Atlas is like.

The Iron Petticoat. Cold War hijinks, bad Russian accents, and recycled one-liners. Oh, and one more thing: Dashing leading man Bob Hope (leading man?) plays a jet fighter pilot (no, really) and Katharine Hepburn plays a defecting communist Mig pilot (seriously, I’m not making this up). For ...

Headhunters. There aren’t any little heads in this film, but there is a slightly diminutive hero pursued by a large and formidable hunter.

Arbitrage. It’s not really a thriller, and it’s not really a suspense movie. It’s actually more like a big-budget, driver’s ed safety film.

The Campaign. Da Man pulls the lever for The Campaign, but the rest of the Misfits go “negative” on this political comedy.

Caught like deers in the headlights, the Misfits can only stare in disbelief at these films and ask, “Did someone really think a car from hell or a bulldozer animated by an alien life form would be scary?” There are probably more laughs than screams in this Halloween offering, but whether ...
The Bourne Legacy. While Bourne to Run could serve as an alternate title, Bourne to Be Bad would be a better description of the film.
Premium Rush. One gear, no brakes–just straight ahead, no-nonsense action at top speed.

It’s back to school for the Misfits and Glenn Ford, Sidney Poitier, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Roddy McDowall. Besides calculus and English, there are hard lessons to be learned about being a grownup, facing the real world, and knocking on the principal’s door before entering.

Kazan, Kramer, and Preminger. In their movies they took on crooked unions, racism, the end of the world, drug addiction, and both politics and the new medium of television. But they finally met their match in the late 60s when they took on the counterculture, hippies, and free love.
