Semantic Wobble

Another reason to say "Kidman, a star?"

"Bewitched", personally I was bemused today, and will somebody tell Will Ferrell to be more Elf and Melinda, Melinda and much much less Anchorman, Old School and Wedding Crashers - when he did the "Yikes..." thing, I was thinking "That's you, that is Ferrell!" (apologies to the Mary Whitehouse Experience). Even worse was the inclusion of Steve Carell - personally I'm going to avoid any movie with him in from now on...
The better bit of our double-bill was "A History of Violence", top-notch Cronenberg, well-paced, well-directed, well-acted and thoughtful: it reminded me of the excellent Ondskan more than any other Cronenberg films, although the unsettling naturalistic style is still there.
