'Inside Deep Throat'
![By turns funny and sobering, sweeping and intimate, the consistently entertaining "Inside Deep Throat" plays like a giddy prance through the minefield of the last three decades of American sex and politics. It's a timeless story, really. Bawdy, can-do upstarts raise the vengeful ire of the cynically pious. Swap the X-rated 1972 comedy with a clever 18th century foundling and you'd have "Tom Jones." Minus the happy ending, of course.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-02/16240034.jpg "By turns funny and sobering, sweeping and intimate, the consistently entertaining "Inside Deep Throat\" plays like a giddy prance through the minefield of the last three decades of American sex and politics.

'Anchorman'
![Will FERRELL is the best thing to hit mainstream American movie comedy since the Farrellys thwacked it with spit and giggles. In his brief, ever-brightening film career, the funnyman has staked a claim on comedy with a screen persona that embodies the age-old struggle between innocence and knowledge, between the wonderment of childhood and the gnawing disenchantments of adulthood. It's a persona that innocently pokes a stick at the fallen world with a great big "why" — as in, "Why can't a grown man be one of Santa's elves?" — and no matter the answer, continues on its joyfully guileless way.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2004-07/13346866.jpg "Will FERRELL is the best thing to hit mainstream American movie comedy since the Farrellys thwacked it with spit and giggles.
