Starting things off with Good Neighbours because I recently saw it and afterwards read this review in the Calgary Herald by a man named Jay Stone who had his head way up his ass.

Don't go in expecting plot tension and suspense because when there isn't any, you end up writing a negative review for what you wanted the movie to be, instead of what it is. And it's not really that kind of movie. Jay Stone, I just don't get you. What's not to love? It has those dark, uncomfortable perversions that I've come to love from independent canadian films and most of all, it's super fucking funny. Something that Mr. Stone seems to have glaringly omited from his review. He was too busy waiting for the twist to be revealed to realize he was supposed to be having fun.
Speedman is usual Speedman (like, Speakers Corner/Kitchen Party Speedman. Not Underworld/Felicity Speedman.) and Jay Baruchel is his usual soggy paper towel limpy wimpy, but dialed back just a bit to take it from awkward geeky to creepy geeky. He has a beard.
