Adam Sandler dominates Razzie nominations

Today’s the day we ostensibly celebrate the very best in cinema. Thank goodness the Razzies are around to remind us that it’s not all smiles and sunshine and charismatic Jack Russell terriers.

The 2011 Half-Year Report Card

The 2011 Half-Year Report Card. By Simon Miraudo.
