If it's not in the queue, then we don't know. However, Randy Miller III is tackling Eternal Sunshine....

Really brief thoughts on Envy, which I watched last night:
Movie: Terrible, even worse than I thought it was going to be (and I liked all the actors in the movie and I think Levinson is a great director). Not at all funny, rather disturbing, and Ben Stiller really got on my nerves. I was tempted to turn it off about forty minutes in, but I finished the flick. I'd give it a D-
Supplements: A Shrek 2 tv spot (before the movie starts), a whole boat load of production notes, and a Best of Black feature that goes to some of Jack Black's apparently funniest moments from the film.
Audio: Pretty much all in the front, a few minor instances of rear enhancement.
Video: Looked fine on the 27incher I was watching it on, but didn't watch this movie on the widescreen tv.
Overall: Someone should have used "Vapoorise" to make this movie go away

Gotta agree with dcprules, Envy was horrific. And not in a dear-christ-I-hated-Starship-Troopers-but-understand-how-someone-else -could-dig-it kinda way. Just aweful. And I love Jack Black and Christopher Walken. I've never sat in such a silent theatre in all my life as the one I was in with 4 other people on opening night.

Super-Size Me: Very very good. Funny, interesting, and informative all at the same time. It sent a message, which was important. But it didn't try to shake things up as much as Moore does. I gave it an 8.5 Plus it had some pretty good DVD extras and quality, so that could bump it up to a 9.
Envy: Lame! Love the actors and as well love the director... but the movie could've worked a lot better than it did. The begining was amusing, and Walken held up his part as the J-Man. Other than that... should've been a lot better considering all the talent. Although I do use the line "Good FOR you!" which some people get. Gave it a 5.5 Nothing interesting on the DVD by the way.
Eternal Sunshine: Great movie, pretty crazy, but great. 8/10... haven't seen the disc yet.

Just in case you guys are still hungry for another review of this great documentary, here's an excerpt from my "Super Size Me" DVD review:
There was a time that you only saw documentary films on PBS or at school. Most of mainstream America wouldn't be caught dead at a showing of a documentary in a theater. That's not to say they were't well done, but for some odd reason it was almost taboo to admit you had seen a documentary or even had the idea of going to see one in a theater. However, documentaries are now fast becoming a major player at the box office. With films like "Fahrenheit/911"making millions of dollars, it's becoming obvious pretty quickly that if you make a good documentary (and it's marketed well) it'll make some serious dough for ya. "Super Size Me" wasn't the financial hit that "F/911" was, but it was definitely no slouch in the profit department and I believe it is the more successful film creatively. First-time filmmaker Morgan Spurlock took a simple idea and almost adolescent experiment, and turned into a very effective, informational and entertaining achievement.
