Well, lah-di-dah! Look who's too good to take a free hair wash! (Plus, considering they cut a lot of it off afterwards, you come out even more ahead on the deal.)

Snape: It does at my meals.

Agreed. Read an interview with him yesterday, and he's good at talking about his films. Make it happen, AVC!

Trust me, it's not even worth that. I saw it on a plane, and it's not even good in a pass-the-time kind of way. The other two movies I've seen that couldn't even be given a pass due to in-flight viewing were The Black Dahlia (also mentioned in the article) and Shooter.

At least Never Back Down resolved the thorny issue of when, exactly, one should back down.

Inside Man II: Outside Man?

I'm guessing they didn't think the AIDS stuff was appropriate for children. But that's pretty hilarious. We always need more Forrest Gump hate.

The Depardieu version of Cyrano de Bergerac is great. The last scene is a killer, for precisely the reasons you stated.

Kudos to Leonard Pierce for mentioning documentaries. Last year I watched Jean-Pierre Lledo's "Algeria: Unspoken Stories." It's a collection of interviews with people involved in the Algerian war of independence, and reflection on the historical memory of those events. The last section deals with an old man named…

I used to love Dumbo when I was little. Pinocchio too. I haven't seen either in years, but I still vividly remember certain scenes from them (Dumbo's mother … *sniff*).

Consequences of Love
Anyone else here seen The Consequences of Love, Sorrentino's 2004 crime thriller? I became a fan of his work just based on that film. Stylish, understated, almost existentialist. And Toni Servillo is great in it. He manages to do so much with so little. If Il Divo is up to those standards, I'll be…

I know! I don't even particularly like Spiderman 2. But that bit where the passengers are standing over the unconscious Peter Parker, and one guy says "…He's just a kid", I find surprisingly affecting.

Joaquin Tall: Your post made me literally laugh out loud. Congrats, sir.

Fighting
Most literal, does-what-it-says-on-the-tin title ever?

In theory, I'd love a Bowie Primer, but I think the commenters covered him in pretty good detail on the glam rock G2G.

Taken Woodstock. The prequel everyone wanted - Liam Neeson beating up hippies for two solid hours!

I don't mind that they take their job seriously (when they can walk the walk, of course), but it is a little shabby to compare your experience of acting a role to someone who has to live with real mental health problems.

You had me at "e-Cyrano"
I predict this will be optioned by Hollywood and turned into a shitty rom-com within a couple of years.

I think the greatest similarity with Spirited Away is the way it creates its own world and slowly eases the viewer into the unique rhythms, so the more bizarre touches come to seem perfectly normal. The lack of dialogue actually helps with this; you don't get a sense that the film is pitched at a child or adult level,…

Yep, Brick is excellent. One of the finest examples of a goofy-sounding concept coming together perfectly in execution.
