The Oh in Ohio (2006)

Parker Posey fans will drool over her performance as Priscilla, ice queen of Cleveland in The Oh In Ohio. Despite the iciness, Posey is charming and likable in this seldom funny but somewhat endearing comedy about a woman who learns to have an orgasm. Liza Minnelli as a masturbation therapist, Heather Graham as a sex shop clerk, Danny DeVito as the pool guy, Paul Rudd as Posey's husband and Mischa Barton (?) as the high school student all rise to Posey's crescendo nicely but the whole is worth less than its (private) parts.

...Superman Returns (2006)

Superman Returns is none-too intelligently plotted and excruciatingly long; in fact, Superman returns so many times that it seems like he never leaves. Brandon Routh as Superman is a clone of Christopher Reeve, and Kate Bosworth is miscast (and seems hopelessly lost) as Lois Lane; if only Parker Posey, who plays Kevin Spacey's villanous sidekick, had been hired for that role! That said, I must admit, there were times towards the end when the bombasticisms of the soaring Superman theme and the simplicity of the plot came together allowing me one or two teary-eyed moments - but it was a hell of a time getting there.
