I did not win, place, or show in this week’s Washington Post contest. All I did was rename the results shown this week. I’m slipping.

This weekend, watched “Don’t Say a Word” and “John Q.” “Don’t Say a Word” was exceptionally mediocre. Mediocre to mediocre minus, in fact.


“John Q,” on the other hand, was great. It suffered only from a selection of trite, way-too-predictable quick scenes in an otherwise well-done story. I don’t need to see my hero go to a government aid office with really long lines, wait for an hour to be seen, and then be told he’s in the wrong line and needs to go the back of the other really long line. You know what I’m talking about. Everyone knows what I’m talking about. That’s why it doesn’t belong in a good movie.
