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...

Clint Eastwood the director, appreciation thread

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: Best fitting song in a movie

I was once waiting a very long time - centered in a continuously cinematic courtship of the same 'ol, same 'ol - to really... swallow some salt, and in single moment, it happened; it suddenly...

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?

I'll adamantly announce that I'm not hip nor hard when it comes to horror films; however, there's a title that springs to stage... "Frailty,"
and it deserves some sort of deliverance to the...

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...

Re: your writing process

I've written hundreds of reviews, and interestingly, I've never once committed myself - casually or creatively - to describing a plot to my audience. If someone has taken the time to sale themselves...

Re: Your Top 5 Favorite Adam Sandler Movies

Adam Sandler has been some sort of accidental asset on a studio diagram drowned in dust. (He gets around somehow, but no one seems to see how.) Personally, I've disliked the majority of ideas within...

Re: big little movies

I'd have to submit "Your Friends & Neighbors," as a title that reached a miniature peak, financially, but soared as an overwhelming success in regards to the socialized satire it touched upon. It's...

Re: Welcoming myself

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. ;)

Re: I Am Legend

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...

Re: who is the most versatile actor today?

Gary Oldman, for me, is far too inescapable when it comes to cinematic versatility. The man has abandoned his name through remarkable performances. He's completely committed to concealing his cards,...

I think I'd decide on a debatable film, for which the main star (Streep) was really only a mothered force, so to speak, in the second half of the picture, but for me, it was so considerably and...
