It is rare to find a movie that can appeal to anyone, from young children to old man. It's also rare to find one that has a wonderful message and is destined to be a classic for many years to come. Penelope happens to be one of these rare findings. From the magical story, to the fun clothes, interesting characters and whimsical set designs, there is nothing not to like about this film.

It's no secret that the 1960s were one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history. Hippies, Vietnam, Korea, civil rights, the U.S. as a police state and many more all contributed to a decade of uncertainty and fear.

The old phrase "best friends make better enemies" still applies to the madcap fraternity fun found on Comedy Central's Kenny vs. Spenny, returning with seven new episodes beginning March 16 at 11:30 p.m. The premise is still the same tried and true competitions, such as the "Who Can Handle The Most Torture?" competition, which is followed by victor humiliating the loser.

KN: In my interview with Kenny, he said his favorite competitions are the ones where he'll intentionally lose and you still end up thinking you lost. One such competition was "Who Could Drink The Most Beer?" What's your response to your friend's antics?
Spenny: I think it's bullsh**.

There are bad movies, and then there are movies like Margot at the Wedding. There are certain types of movies like Plan 9 From Outer Space that are so bad that you can't help but want to laugh at its sheer stupidity; films that are enjoyable because the creators look like they're having fun.

There is a little subgenre within the pantheon of action movies, the "Will Smith saves the world" genre. He's saved us all in Independence Day, I Am Robot and in the two Men in Black films. He's even saved us from poverty in The Pursuit of Happyness. He's saved all of Hollywood from successful movies coming from white guys named Tom.
