    It’s the Wednesday before Christmas, and Shane takes a look at the two films released today. “Man on the Moon” is one of the rare biopics that Shane doesn’t hate – while “Any Given Sunday” is an American Football film that Shane just despises all around, especially for how he sees himself represented in Willie Beamen.

    Shane gets straight to the point in this holiday-hangover-arthouse entry. He avoids too many tangents, and gets straight to the point about two lesser known and barely remembered films from 1999. Shane breaks down all the parts of “The End of the Affair” that draws him to the film, and then he goes off on a tangent about how he never liked Woody Allen films, until he moved his plots to Europe.

    Shane takes a look at the two films release on Jason Maier's 19th birthday in 1999. He takes a look at how both "Sleepy Hollow" and "The World is Not Enough" had terrible scripts, and while one of them was able to at least look visually brilliant, the other tried to use too much suspension of disbelief to make the film enjoyable.
