Best Alfred Hitchcock Film

Re: Best Alfred Hitchcock Film

As everyone has named their favorites (mine are North by Northwest and Vertigo) make sure to avoid Jamaica Inn. It is so bad it's...bad.

Re: Movie Reviewers You Trust?

Spock was a science officer, but never a doctor per se. Dr. McCoy was the ship's doctor of course.

Re: Movie Reviewers You Trust?

Actually, I do recognize him. I just don't remember seeing him review films, just talk about them.

Re: God Bless Roger Ebert and His Wife Chaz

He's one of the greats. And I may have mentioned it already, but worth following on Twitter. It's like his window on the world.

Re: The 82nd Academy Awards

I can't wait, and I think Alec and Steve will be fine. Martin has already done it by himself, so I don't know why they chose the duo--maybe to increase ratings. I think they have already made a big...

Re: Your Favorite Dark Comedy Movie

Neighbors - John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. A lot of people hate this movie, but I love it. I like that Belushi was cast against type.

Re: Movie Reviewers You Trust?

I have not seen Robert Osborne, but he sounds good to check out. I think what I like sometimes is the fact that a good reviewer can highlight something you might have missed.

I just saw Who Wants...

As Kevin Smith said today on the radio here in LA, "everyone's a critic now." Which is true...the whole Twitter phenom is partly responsible for the weekend success of a movie I would venture. Some...

Movie Reviewers You Trust?

I have a vivid memory of Rex Reed dissing Taxi Driver back in the 70s when he was on the Merv Griffin show. After seeing the movie, I realized that this movie "critic" totally missed the boat on what...

Re: Best M. Night Shymalan Movie?

Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, Happening. I think Lady in the Water is one of the worst films ever made.

Re: The Hangover

Not sure why anyone would talk about Dude Where's My Car (unfunny, personified) but the Hangover is surely a classic. I saw this waaaay after all the hype, and was prepared to not like it. But I got...

Inglourious Basterds
