A Christmas Story is perfect. It's hilarious, and I watch it every year... and sometimes I watch it in the summer too, just because it's so funny. The story is taken from the writings of Jean Shepherd (I may have spelled that wrong) and I've read his books; the story here in the movie doesn't quite exist in his books, but is pieced together from other stories that he's written.

This doesn't really matter... what matters is that this movie takes the viewer back to a more innocent time, to the boyhood of Ralphie, who wants a Red Rider BB Gun. His little fantasy sequences are fantastic, and the "Leg Lamp" is one of the highlights of the movie. There's just so much in this movie that's funny, it's impossible to list it all.

I find it hard to believe that anyone hasn't seen this movie, what with the 24-hour marathons that go on every year, but if you haven't seen it, you should! You'll love it instantly!

I remember seeing Steven Weber on Wings, where he was basically playing the lighter comedy role of the brother who refuses to grow up. Now he's on Studio 60 and his role couldn't be more different.

In this new show, he is the hard-nosed executive, and he seems to be playing the part well, so far. There's only been one episode, and I'm not sure how often he'll be in the episodes, but based on the one I saw, I hope he's in a lot of them; he adds the conflict necessary to make the show interesting.

I never would have believed before that he'd be good playing that kind of role, after seeing him on Wings, but he is very good, and I'd like to see more of him.

Allison Holker appeared on the second season of So You Think You Can Dance, and this review is based on her appearance there.

Allison always did well in all the styles of dance; in fact, in the first week of the couples, she and Ivan, her partner, were given an Argentinian Tango to dance, and Allison was the only one of the two of them who danced it. Ivan was out of his depth, but luckily for both him and Allison, he quickly improved. The judges picked Allison early on as a contender for the winning spot, although she didn't actually get that. However, she is certainly a talented dancer, graceful and beautiful, and deserves a lot of attention from the dance world, as well as the rest of the world!

Well, actually, it seems that he can do other roles. Often when an actor does one role for a long time, they get typecast, and end up playing that role in various incarnations, in all the shows that they're in. But Matthew Perry has moved on from Chandler in his new role as Matt Albie.

Don't get me wrong; I liked him as Chandler. He was funny, and that's not as easy as it seems. His new character seems to be completely different, though, and that's a good thing. It will allow him to show that he ~is~ more than Chandler. Even though he's playing a writer on a comedy show, I just didn't get the impression that he's going to be the same character at all.
