Re: Movie Critics
There's a solid reason why Roger Ebert has become synonymous with film reviews, even TV spots, etc. He's been on the front page of this form of media for many, many years, and it's likely due to the...

Re: Clint Eastwood the director, appreciation thread
A Perfect World still stands as a true testament of Clint Eastwood's story-telling ability. It's one of the few (and often underrated) times that he told a story where the main morality met the man...

Re: James Bond: Quantum of Solace (a.k.a. Bond 21)
I was enthusiastically exclamatory when I finished watching 'Casino Royale' for the first time. I was expecting something more... well - let's say trivial? I was utterly surprised by the flow and...

Re: big little movies
Dodgeball has been somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me. It nostalgically reminds me of Ben Stiller's similar performance in Disney's 1995 production of Heavyweights, which ran hysteria straight into...

Re: Books
The most difficult demand on my ability to finish a decent book certainly came with Tolstoy's "War and Peace." It's so complicated, in fact, that I'm prepared to suggest that most for whom have...

Re: Sexiest Actors/Actresses
I've always had an aggressively strange crush on Mia Sara. From my perspective, she's always inhibited a sense of danger, innocence, and seductiveness.

Re: awol actors
I miss the innocence that Rick Moranis could capture in his comedic efforts. I always wanted to see him in a singular, dramatic role, too. Also, a good mention means muttering Joe Pesci, although I...

Re: Movies you don't want to see!
It's an intoxicating intrigue - even questionable in a way - that a passionate film-goer, or one who claims as such, could denounce this title so decisively.

Re: What Is Your Favorite Horror Film?

Re: Yoda's Overlooked Movies
The marvelous magic that molded 'Drowning Mona' together was, more or less, the malicious maneuvers that mend most Americans together... in a mute sort of way, you could argue. In other words, we're...

Steven Spielberg can further commit himself to unfathomable failures all he likes, but no one could ever extract "Schindler's List" from this man's past itinerary. ;)

The main problem with this film was the inability to focus on what the character had completely learned to live without. We were continually fed the rights to what he had invented for himself, but...

That's right - I'm the new and approved representative of a long and lavish surge of opinionation. Hopefully, you all find something strikingly surreal between my replies. Glad to be here.
