I would like to say that I’ve grown out of my Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) phase, but I have to be honest, movies like Halloweentown and Luck of the Irish will get me every time.  As part of a generation that worships worshipped boy bands and Beanie Babies, the DCOM has a special place in my heart.

1.     They perform in the most uncomfortable positions imaginable. Imagine having to curl up in a little ball for hours on end with a little cushion on wheels being a little cushion on wheels.

1.     They owe their success to sausage. Although they achieved minor fame with a series of coffee commercials, Jim Henson’s creations didn’t really get noticed until they became a regular feature of the variety program The Jimmy Dean Show.Rather, until Rowlf the Dog became a regular feature.

It was recently announced that Marilyn Monroe inspires Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming Playboy spread, which features “very classy” full–frontal nudity. While I am sure “some find it hot” to see LiLo in the buff, I doubt these photographs will have anything on My Week With Marilyn in the classy department. Director Simon Curtis’ biographical drama about the iconic Marilyn Monroe explores the tumultuous British set of her 1957 comedy The Prince and the Showgirl, which was directed by and co–starred Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh). The story is told through the eyes of 24–year–old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), who is the set’s third assistant director and whose memoirs inspired My Week With Marilyn’s screenplay. Michelle Williams gives a multifaceted performance as the troubled superstar.

We all have that one special person who gives us the jitters. That guy who bought us a drink last Tuesday at Smoke's.

This film makes us thankful to be with our own pseudo–stable families on Thanksgiving. Who knew being a Clooney could be so tumultuous?

When the going gets tough, I like to retreat into a parallel universe populated by clay figures with Yorkshire accents and an unmatched love of cheese and crackers. With its endearingly quirky protagonists and puns aplenty, Wallace and Gromit’s The Wrong Trousers is the perfect remedy for feeling down in the dumps — or those days when you just want to forget about adulthood for a while.

Many a film — no, not just Michael Moore's fiery docs — have left us moved by what we've seen on screen and eager to make a difference in the world. Here's to taking that initiative past the two–hour viewing experience and doing some actual good, here, at Penn. Let us connect the dots for you.

J. Edgar is exposed in an unconventional light, but different doesn’t always mean good.
