Neil Patrick Harris may have lost the actual award to Jon Cryer (WHAT?!?), but the show's MC was clearly the big winner last night. It was he most entertaining Emmys show in years, even if the awards were pretty boring.

Real People Have Terrible Names Too

We all know that celebrities have a gift for coming up with ridiculous baby names (Zuma Rock, Pilot Inspektor, etc.), but we've just learned that even children of non-famous people can have pretty effed-up names too.

Last night, the brother and sister team of Nick and Starr won The Amazing Race: Season 1 Million, and aside from the unnecessary extra "r" on her name, we didn't think much of it.

Then we found out that their last name is Spangler.

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!
