Reading, Writing, and Rocking: "The new comedy School of Rock (Paramount) is uncut bliss: It had me buzzing, bopping up and down in my seat, practically pogoing out of the theater playing air guitar. I scribbled superlatives in my notebook; I heard myself tell a colleague, 'Dude, that movie rocked.' I wonder, now that the ecstasy has dissipated a bit (but only a bit), how a formulaic farce-heart-warmer about a fake teacher and a bunch of 10-year-olds could be such a mystical experience—one of the biggest highs I've had at the movies in years. "

Yet another must-see-movie on my list. Jack Black teaching a bunch of middle-schoolers how to rock? Talk about a sure thing.
