Aye, times are really tough.

Proof: Jason Priestley will star as the main character in a Canadian TV comedy called Meet Phil Fitz.

His character is a used-cars salesman who struggles with being appropriate alongside his do-gooder alter-ego, Larry.

You chose this over returning to 90210 2.0? The show is like rancid milk, but even it’s better than a Canadian sitcom.

Poor Choice Brandon. Poor choice.

While Tina Fey joined John McCain last night on Saturday Night Live last night (the only reason we would ever want this campaign to last one second longer than it has to is to keep Fey returning to SNL. She's actually made it watchable again), the real Sarah Palin was making some comedy of her own, without even knowing it.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

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!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip 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.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

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.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

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!
