"Movie Pairing:Zodiac (Amazon) “I watch Zodiac a lot, but that doesn’t mean I’m creepy. In fact, the lurid parts of this movie (about the hunt for a serial killer in the ’60s and ’70s) are my least favorite. Mostly, I like the scope of the film (it’s 157 minutes long), and, much like Jake Gylenhaal’s inquisitive lead, I appreciate a good puzzle. I also like the fact that David Fincher added a bunch of comedic touches that could have been lifted straight from a romcom. Gylenhaal’s son swallows toothpaste, for example, and Mark Ruffalo’s detective often eats animal crackers. These scenes are only sort of funny, which somehow makes them funnier in the context of a very heavy film. Now, I don’t know where you can order animal crackers at present, but I do know where to get some cookies, blondies, and oatmeal cream pies. It’s a place called Ciao, Gloria in Prospect Heights, and they have a few breakfast sandwiches as well.” - BK" - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Bryan Kim, Hillary Reinsberg, Arden Shore
