@Kinsey I don't see it as a back-handed compliment at all. I believe there are a small handful of supernaturally talented filmmakers, and the rest are craftsmen who have learned a skill and become extremely good at it. I recently listened to a very interesting talk Steven Soderbergh gave to film students and he was…

I think it's easy to point to a director with a unique style and say that they're somehow better than a director who doesn't put their personal stamp on the material (at least not visually). But the more films I see and the older I get, the more I realize that there are plenty of great filmmakers (most, really) whose…

I'd give Eastwood at least 5 great movies and a handful of good ones.

So you probably shouldn't see most movies that star actors born before 1930.

Just watched this last week. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was really well done and pretty interesting in the exploration of sexuality for the time. Jennifer Jason Leigh (who should have been commended with some sort of major award for the amount of glorious nudity she does in this film) clearly wants Rutger's…

It honestly seems like the idea for This! was some executive who bought a giant box of random VHS tapes at a garage sale and is showing them one by one. If it didn't have ads, it'd be like an alternate universe version of HBO circa 1992.

Paranormal Activity: Golden Rec3iver

CC, playing dumb to the person you're trying to extract information from is one thing, playing dumb to the audience is another.

Bill. Zebub. Bill Zebub. Beelzebub.
"He's the Devil!"
"He's Satin!"

didn't even know this movie existed until it turned up on This! a few weeks ago. I was so confused by seeing Paul Feig dance like a pro and George Lopez show up and it all clearly being a late 80s movie that I literally thought I was dreaming and/or had been slipped PCP.

"I'd just like to point out that The Cars did write "Stacy's Mom", they just called it "Just What I Needed"."
Exactly. It is essentially an homage to Just What I Needed—and a very good one at that.

Beverly D'Angelo is topless in the first movie for sure.

I spent lots and lots of time with the Kentucky Fried Movie vhs.

Speaking of great albums, nice avatar, pcoorey.

There's at least 4 Hood songs that could be cut on Decoration Day. Definitely KEEP Heathens, My Sweet Annette, Something's Gotta Give Pretty Soon, Hell No I Ain't Happy and Do It Yourself…I've never liked The Deeper In or Sink Hole as much as others, those could go. I can't even recall what Careless or Your Daddy…

Did you forget to mention the best part of Mischief? Kelly Preston is full frontal!
How about Secret Admirer? Loved that one. Old school Comedy Central used to show it constantly. How much money would C Thomas Howell pay to have Kelly Preston and Lori Loughlin fight over him in 2011? All of his $30,000 fee for…

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
Definitely the best album of that year, best album of Mark Kozelek's career and a contender for album of the 00s.

Tuck is right. Music didn't create protests, protests created music. Also, the anti-Iraq sentiment couldn't really compare to the anti-Vietnam war sentiment. Most people were for the Iraq war, especially in 2003, cause they still thought it somehow had something to do with Sept. 11.

I recall being shocked that Jennifer Jason Leigh also got naked. I had heard over and over again about Phoebe Cates, but JJL was a pleasant surprise.

Soderbergh's love child
No wonder the guy works so much. He wants to get out of the house. Jules can't be too pleased about this one. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/…
