TWO SCARJO MOVIES.

TWO WOODAL MOVIES! And I'ma go with Scoop. I know it gets a lot of hate, but I thought it was definitely watchable enough, had some fun moments, whereas Vicky Cristina Barcelona did absolutely nothing for me.

VCB irritates me a little. Sometimes it feels as though Woody is quite self-satisfied about doing an exposé on something progressive and risqué, but three-ways are passé now. OK they're not actually passé (obviously I'm using the word to triple up on the accent aigu), but c'mon Wood, high-schoolers are having ménages à trois. Accents for the win, bitches. Also Hugh Jackman squashes Javier Bardem.

Bardem playing intimidating villains is the real deal. As a lady's man? Not so much.
