If I was being naive, I'd suggest that Yoda's scrapping is foreshadowing for the next film, where he will (possibly) fight Sidious.

If I was being cynical, I'd suggest that no-neck Lucas was just...

Warriors, Hard Times, The Driver, 48hrs, Long Riders and Southern Comfort are all superb films. I'd go as far as to say that the latter is better than Deliverence. It's a shame that time has...

Great too see a reference to a Takeshi Kitano film. Check out Sonatine for a more refined version of the Kitano (non) action scene.

She's obviously attracted to his creativity and intellect. Just because he isn't good looking doesn't mean he can't attract someone as beautiful as her. Looks aren't everything.

I don't know what film made Travolta, But, Blow Out (Brian De Palma, 1981) is frankly superb. Best decribed as a combination of Blow-Up (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1968, GB) and the Conversation...

I tend to agree. In my earlier post I was trying to get across that Raging Bull was a film that defied pigeon-holing; because that is the purpose of genre classification. This certainly doesn't make...

Hell, I live in England and I refuse to go into the water. When I go to the beach I just look at the ocean, never go in. If I did go in I'd be more likely to die from pollution than shark-attack!
