I use this website [HSX.com](http://HSX.com), its like a fake stock exchange for movies instead of stocks. If you think a movie will do well you can buy it, if you think it will do poorly you can short it, etc. Anyway, I haven’t picked a loser in some time. My last big dud was Star Wars: Ep I (bought in at $250 like the jerkwad ex-Star Wars geek that I am). I just checked my account, and aparently Analyze That just cost me $2 million! Thats over 3% of my total worth. This movie must have really stunk.

Having rolled on the floor laughing at Analyze This, we were eagerly awaiting the release of Analyze That. But it has reviewed so poorly that we haven’t bothered to go see it. Will probably rent it on DVD when it’s released.

I thought it was fine. Pretty much what I expected. Analyze This with a new, somewhat hackneyed, plot. I got some laughs and that’s all I really wanted.

I liked this bit from the Onion’s review: “Analyze That picks up where its predecessor left off: at a logical endpoint requiring no sequel.”
