Best & Worst: Cameo
Best: Burt Reynolds
Film: Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex* But Were Afraid To Ask (1972)
Why It Rocks: As men, we are constantly trying (and failing) to get women to allow us to put our grubby little paws all over them (as Mr Allen knows only too well).
So when such a buttock-clenchingly good opportunity arises, who would most of us want at the helm of our libido, taking control and making sure everything goes OK?
That's right, Burt, the Sperm Switchboard Chief, Reynolds.
Who else can we depend on to deliver messages like "Brain room to sexual organs: Proceed with erection" with a straight, gloriously moustached face?
Worst: Ian McShane
Film: Scoop (2006)
Why It Sucks: McShane's casting as Joe Strombel, the murdered reporter with a 'hot lead' on the Tarot Card Killer, is maybe not the WORST thing about this film, but it certainly puts the cherry on the top of a cake made of farts.
Why couldn't he play the lead? I mean we've all seen Deadwood (or Lovejoy...ahem) and we know he can act, so why give him such a tiny sliver of a role, leaving space for Hugh Jackman and Scar Jo to bland up the screen for the other 96 minutes?
Use your noodle, Woody!

Ah, but I love the Bananas courtroom scene! if only for the pan of the jury when we see one of them drinking from a fish bowl. Unexpected, surreal, hilarious. Plus you have the intro to that scene with the old lady and the hat, again, brilliant. Hell, the trailer is funnier that alot of his recent output and certainly more amusing than anything Apatow and the rest of the 'Jew-tang Clan' has been involved with (Anchorman being the sole exception).

Glad I'm not alone in thinking that Bananas dragged on throughout its last half hour.
