Personal movie tastes very so greatly that it seems illogical to rely on a single reviewer to recommend or reject a specific flick. Not to mention that too many reviews spoil twists and act as self-fulfilling prophesies, influencing a viewer's reaction. That's why I use Metacritic, which aggregates reviews into scores from 1-100 on movies, video games, books and more, while providing non-spoiling excerpts underneath links to complete articles from a wide range of entertainment media sources.

It's also fun to look back at the scores tallied on long-ago pop-culture releases. And I did just that for Dumb & Dumber, a cinematic masterpiece that got an average media review of 39 out of 100. That's barely higher than 1½ stars out of 4.

Only one source, the San Francisco Chronicle, scored it a 100, while almost everyone else panned it, none worse than the Washington Post's Rita Kempley, who described it as an "abominable, abdominal comedy."

Thus, Kempley and I could never be friends. I just could never hang with anyone who didn't laugh at such memorable quotes as Lloyd's reaction to being told his chances of hooking up with Mary Swanson were about one in a million: "So you're telling me there's a chance. Yeah! I read ya." (Audio clips.)

Here's the best part, though. The average rating from 33 Metacritic users is 9 out of 10, with perfect scores littering the comments section. Did the media whiff on this thing or what?

• 10 Worst Celebrity Music Video Crossovers — A compilation of YouTube finds, unearthing regrettable moments in the careers of such people as Eddie Murphy, Aylssa Milano and David Hasselhoff. Of course, Milano was only about 16 when she did "What a Feeling." I don't know what Hasselhoff's excuse is. (Thanks, Scott)

• Docs Remove 119 Nails From Woman's Stomach — They were rusty, so doctors think she swallowed them months ago. Must've made for some very anxious turns on the toilet.

• Amanda Beard Photoshoot in FHM — Sexiest paintballer I've ever seen. I think I heard her mention that hobby in that video under the copy.

• Church Preaches How 'Jesus Loves Porn Stars' — Jesus loves porn stars just as much as he does pastors and soccer moms, XXXchurch contends. But probably not as much as I love soccer moms who post porn online.
