Favorite Line:

REEL REVUE PICKS

(award not listed) Breakthrough Performance-Russell Brand, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

Sure, the guy is pompous and brash, and made headlines hosting the VMA's but his performance as rocker Aldus Snow is one of the many things that made Marshall one of the best comedies of the year so far, the other being Tropic Thunder.

(award not listed) Best On Screen Team-Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey, Jr., "Tropic Thunder"

Three powerhouse actors in a war spoof movie, loaded with gags and a portly Tom Cruise, AWESOME!

Favorite Line-"I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude,"--Robert Downey, Jr., "Tropic Thunder"

Best Summer Actor-My pick for this award is out of respect for the great Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, pulling off a performance even surpassing the great Jack Nicholson, who would have thought that?

Best Summer Actress-This may be a bias choice, but my pick for this award is Anne Hathaway for "Get Smart" and the way she successfully portrayed a classic TV role and looked good doing it I might add.

Best Summer Comedy-Tropic Thunder

Best Summer Action Movie-The Dark Knight

Best Summer Animated Movie-Kung Fu Panda

Worst Summer Movie-Step Brothers, Most people will probably disagree with me on this one, but personally I am a huge Will Ferrell fan, I went into this movie with huge expectations, especailly since this was the reuniting of Ferrell and John Reilly from their epic hit Talladega Nights, but I, left the theater so disappointed, the funny moments of the movie were few and far between and Ferrell singing Spanish opera at the end, WHAT's UP WIT THAT?

BEST Summer Movie-The Dark Knight, But I got to give Ironman its due, it was my pick at the beginning of the Summer, at it was until I saw Dark Knight, and was wowed by the genius of director Christopher Nolan and the unbelievable acting of Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger. The only thing, I could say about the movie was the performance of Maggie Gyllenhall, personally I would have preferred Katie Holmes.
