Haven't seen any of the Ice Age movies, but this description is awfully persuasive. Roger Ebert on the apparently many acorn scenes in the new one: "That includes one in which Scrat, Scrattè and the acorn are trapped inside floating bubbles, which is no big deal to the acorn. Still, this is a talented acorn, which sings a tune from the Gilbert O'Sullivan songbook to express how alone an acorn must sometimes feel. An acorn that smart, you don't want to eat it all at once."

Roger Ebert, giving Troy a two-star review: "If Achilles was anything, he was a man who believed his own press releases."
Dan Neil, reviewing the Camry Solara SLE Convertible: "The convertible's styling closely follows that of the coupe, the same water-dowsing-stick hood lines coming together at the bowl-profile grille, the same wind-tunnel smoke contours streaming along the flanks."
Gene Weingarten, reviewing mothers and using a euphemism OutKast should really learn: "Since we have never personally given birth, men can only guess at the discomfort the procedure entails and must resort to deeply disturbing analogies, such as evacuating a tricycle."
