Very Belated Thoughts on Grown Ups and A Revised Ranking of 2010's Best Movies. This Sentence Serves No Other Purpose Than Making This Title Long.

I apologize for my stark absence from the Madhouse. I needed a break so I left you, my minions, here to hold the fort down. Thank you for doing so. The place is nice and tidy. I'll offer three thoughts on Grown Ups:1. I love anything that Adam Sandler does. Except Little Nicky. Those were the dark ages of Sandler, and we've come far.2. David Spade played his best role ever.3. Grown Ups was the funniest movie I've seen this year. When I'm in my 40s...
