“Traitor” Explores Religion, Terrorism to Little Effect
(Thursday, August 28, 2008)

Funny, Entertaining "Pineapple Express" Is Also Super-Bad
(Wednesday, August 06, 2008)
Pineapple Express serves as a stark contrast to (and improvement over) the recent Will Ferrell misfire, Step Brothers. While both push the limits of R-rated humor, Step Brothers is wholly reliant on its crudity in a way that Pineapple Express is not.
