To follow up on Jellio's last post, a contest of Misers.

"Charlie Wilson's War" ***1/2 (out of four): Mike Nichols' cheeky film about the Texas Congressman who helped fund the Afghan army tells one side of an important story. And it tells it well, thanks to an A-list cast and Aaron Sorkin's typically zingy script.

"Charlie Wilson's War" belongs to another time. For one thing, it takes place in the 1980s when, at the behest of one Texan congressman (if you believe Mike Nichols' cheeky film) the U.S. covertly supplied arms to Afghan's Mujahideen in order to fight the invading Soviets. For those of you keeping score, many of these "freedom fighters" went on to become Al Qaeda. But hey, in the 80s even Rambo fought with them. "Wilson" also belongs to a time when Hollywood was making conscious political satire. More and more, it seems, that time coming back. But is anyone listening? Mr. Nichols' film is so much fun (Politics? Fun?! Nah.), that I sincerely hope so.

"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" **** (out of four): There's more than enough blood, guts and yes, glory to go around in Tim Burton's masterful big-screen spin of the culty musical "Sweeney Todd." The results? To die for.

The most twisted, deranged and blood-splattering film of the year has arrived at last, and it's every bit as wonderful as you might expect. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp reteam for the sixth (!) time to bring Stephen Sondheim's award-winning show "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" to the movie-going masses, revisiting their trademark gothic charm ("Edward Scissorhands") and canning the shticky tripe ("Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"). It's safe to say — the boys are back in town.

Welcome to the YBNBY Hall of Fame - celebrating the some of the best stories we've posted in the three years that we've been publishing.

Just to take a break from the pornography-themed HoF inductees (don't worry, there'll be more tomorrow), here's one that touched a nerve with our male audience, and ensured we were pretty high in Google's rankings for anyone ever searching for "Ashley Manning" -

Yesterday, a friend asked me whether Colts QB Peyton Manning was married. I'm supposed to know these things. So I fired up The Google. Turns out Peyton does wear at least one ring. Ashley Manning, above, is a real estate developer and 1997 graduate of the University of Virginia.

While this information was easy to locate, I was surprised to not find one definitive source for photos of NFL players' wives. Not to mention a little let down.

Which brings me to my YesButNoButYes New Year's Resolution. In 2007, if I'm Googling something and can't find it, I must fill the void. It's time to give back. Without further intro blabber, I offer you this semi-complete (yet nonetheless definitive) list of the women behind the men behind center.
