Granted, this Canadian film was ONLY successful in Canada, but considering it was a film about Curling in Canada, that was completely to be expected. Still, this was a cute film about redemption, small towns, and a cute little sport that has a devoted audience. Paul Gross (a Canadian icon is own right) starred as the skip of his small town squad, and though again this film only has relevance in Canada, it was perfect for what it was. Now, does a curling film hold merit for the Hall? We are not sure either.

Chazz Michael Michaels may have been a male figure skater, but the sex addict sure loved his women. Will Farrell (Michaels) made many laugh out loud with his performance of a down on his luck figure skater forced to find a male partner (his old rival) to return to the Olympics in pairs figure skating. Considering the premise, the film could have easily fallen flat on its face, but Ferrell was brilliant in his role, and it is almost inconceivable to imagine anyone else executing the “Iron Lotus”.

This is one for us seems thirteen shades of impossible. We can’t nominate Michael Jordan; because there really is a Michael Jordan. Same goes for Bill Murray. Technically, there really is a Bugs Bunny in a cartoon universe; but what does that mean for us? This is the grey area we find ourselves in, but we will err in the side of caution.
Bugs Bunny was the leader of the Looney Tunes, and had co-billing with the greatest Basketball player of all time in his only foray into motion pictures. Guess what? This messed up equation worked, and it was a decent film; despite Jordan’s cardboard acting. One unrelated thing; how do you steal the “talent” of Shawn Bradley?
