Short Attention Span Review: "Year One"

Rather than joining the sheep getting their brain cells eradicated by Michael Bay's new giant robot movie, I gave Harold Ramis some money for "Year One." It's not a great movie. It's not a sweeping summer blockbuster. But it's fun and has some genuinely funny moments. I got a kick out of the slow-speed horse cart chase scene and the seemingly never-ending murder of Abel by Cain. And while Transformers had Megan Fox, Year One had three attractive women sharing the screen. Also: Oliver Platt vamped up and begging for Michael Cera to oil him up? That was pretty damned funny.
