Lewis Carroll’s famous nonsense verse Jabbawocky warns, “Beware the Jabberwock, my son!”

Did he mean to say, “Don’t get next to that fire because you’ll get burned?" If he was talking about the JabbawockeeZ, we think he was.

As we hoped, Step Up 2: The Streets stars Robert Hoffman and Briana Evigan won the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss last night.

Sadly, their acceptance speech was awkward, stilted and uncomfortable.

Briana lacks charisma and professionalism; we fear she’ll recede into the ether soon. And our Robbie, as hot and funny as he can be, came off like a drunk frat boy…not that there’s anything wrong with that, in fact, we loooove drunk frat boys, we’re just trying to be descriptive.

We had a very eventful night.

After our sighting of the Dalai Lama (amazing), we made our way to the premiere of Don’t Mess with the Zohan (which we’ll tell you all about after we go to the junket this weekend and get a few questions answered).

We left the premiere at Mann’s Chinese and found another group of Buddhist monks (Is there a convention in town?) trying to get snapshots of Adam Sandler.

Everyone is a paparazzo these days.

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!
