GREAT FALLS, Mont. — Blame Canada. For it was a half-dozen daft nationals of that northern land who caused me to reconsider what charity means...
...culture and that “Reality Bites” is actually the worst movie of all time. When I enter Urban Outfitters, I’m usually in a state of hazy euphoria. I hallucinate that I have Kate Moss’ legs, in skinny jeans. In reality, Daft Punk is playing in the background, and all the sales people are pierced and wearing wallet chains inappropriately.

Their broad sonic palette boasts a wide variety of electronic sounds, and some of the album’s most interesting moments occur when Hard-Fi tries to sound more Daft Punk than Maxïmo Park.

...Lewis and the French were right. In his 10-year run as Dean Martin's goony pal, Lewis was the master of extreme physical and verbal comedy. As the auteur and star of another decade's worth of prime movie farces, from the near wordless The Bellboy to the daft poignancy of The Nutty Professor (in a dual role as both himself and Dean), he bent the medium as smartly as he distorted his own body. This 10-film set deserves a Lgion d'Honneur medal, or at least your grateful patronage...
