The British prove their superiority once again as the boys revisit November 14, 2003 and the UK imports LOVE ACTUALLY and MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (as well as America’s contribution to the cultural conversation - sigh - LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION)!

Romance is in the air for classic screen couples like Hugh Grant and his secretary, Paul Bettany and an animatronic tortoise, Alan Rickman and his secretary, Brendan Fraser and an animated duck, and Colin Firth and his maid! Love really IS all around!

Which was more harrowing? Russell Crowe’s sea battle with French sailors for the survival of his ship or Dan Matisa’s street battle with the children of Brazil for the survival of his backpack? Which is more surreal? Heather Locklear doing an impression of Britney Spears surrounded by miniature Yosemite Sams or Ron Perlman’s return as niche character “The Sayer of the Flaw”? And who gave the richer performance of “Christmas is All Around”? The great Bill Nighy or Dan’s sweaty palms?

So, if you really love Christmas, come on and let it snow (wtf?), because quick is the word and sharp is the action on Episode 25 of OPENING WEEKEND!
