Nope, just your strangely drawn out movie reviews on IMDB. These were for school, right? I can't imagine anyone spending that much time writing an on-line review of Rio Bravo.
And oh yeah....Go Bucs! 
ps - enjoy Bangkok. lucky for you the emo scene there has all but died out! [/b]
I took one class second semester senior year, pop culture criticism, pretty much the perfect end to college. And, yes, that review was for that class.
This pre-Farenheit 9/11 review of Canadian Bacon, however, was because I was pissed off at stupid fucking people (per usual):

Summary: you don't get it
most of you detractors are completely missing michael moore's sarcasm and self-deprecation ... do you really think that this man is dumb enough not to realize how heavy handed and over-the-top his message in this movie is?
canadian bacon is a parody of EVERYTHING, including moore's (over) earnestness ... i can kind of compare this movie to tim robbin's "bob roberts" or warren beatty's "bulworth" ... sure, the star director / writer / producer force feed you their liberal message, but they're also winking at themselves the entire way through ...
that said, canadian bacon is in the lower echelon of this genre, there just aren't enough laughs and the film is way too disjointed ... i also can't stand rhea perlman ... something just never clicks.
michael moore is the most politically polarizing filmmaker in the country... and that's really saying something ...
moore really seems to set something off inside of right wingers like no other bleeding heart in hollywood has been able to replicate.
i know plenty of conservatives who watched, and enjoyed, "bulworth" without agreeing with beatty's populism ... this unbiased approach just seems impossible with moore's movies (two of which are undeniably brilliant works of documentary film) ...
right wingers (again, for the most part) just categorically reject moore's work on every level ... its just too bad moore had to make a mediocre film like "canadian bacon" to provide his ideological critics with legitimate artistic complaints.
