BLOCK OUT SOME TIME THIS WEEKEND:I don't know if I've ever been more pleasantly surprised by early reviews for a movie than I am for this weekend's The Lego Movie, currently sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a fair number of those positive reviews being out and out raves.  As one of my friends observed, the film's description can sound like hanging out at one of Stefon's "New York's hottest clubs!" since it seems to have everything--a robot pilot named Metalbeard (voiced by Nick Offerman, naturally), a unicorn kitten, major members of the Justice League, a song called "Everything Is Awesome!," and Abraham Lincoln.  Who else is pumped?
