Jesus Is Actually Magic

I saw Sarah Silverman's film Jesus Is Magic on Saturday - see it, if you can. Fucking hysterical. I'd read half the jokes from interviews and reviews of the film beforehand, but even if you know them they don't lose their impact when she tells them because it's all in her priceless delivery, the way she contorts her face into an earnest, faux-naive little smirk.

The musical numbers and the framing device were the weakest portions - Silverman's best on stage, delivering her act. But for every joke that misses there are ten that sneak up on you and knife you right in the gut.

Best quote: "God I hope they find semen in my dead grandmother's vagina!"
