It has some violence in it but I didn't think it went overboard. It is a damn good film, that you will probably want to see again.

Obviously Nicole Kidman has had a bunch of plastic surgery done lately, I don't know who she looks like now, but she kinda looks like Nicole Kidman.

Well, I can say this for absolutely certain...Ellen didn't do that good of a job as host. She probably won't be invited back.
Billy Crystal...I'd love to see him back as host.
