Big Fan, one of our least favorite movies at Sundance opened Friday.

Click here for a Sundance flashback.

We just returned home to LA to find a stack of mail, a DVR busting at the seams and a fridge so pathetically empty, we might have to eat baking soda for breakfast.

Our time in Sundance has come to an end, snowy summer camp is over and we’re already feeling the withdrawal.

There is a certain pulsating mania in Sundance that is magical. Five films a day, meals consisting of sugarfree Red Bull and Krispy Kremes, bathroom celebrity sighting and weather so cold it makes your jaw numb and your teeth hurt had become the norm for us.

When we read the description of Peter and Vandy we thought, "Awwww, poor them. Their thunder is so totally being stolen by 500 Days of Summer."

We should have heeded the warnings!

We were told by NUMEROUS sources that The Informers, adapted by Bret Easton Ellis from his novel and directed by Gregor Jordan (Buffalo Soldiers), was absolutely terrible.

For some twisted, sadistic reason, we thought we need to come to that decision on our own.

We have no one to blame but ourself.

The Informers is about what everything Bret Easton Ellis writes is about: yuppies, drugs, promiscuous sex, disconnection, blah blah blah.

Big Fan is a big bad suckfest.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
