RE: Murders and Executions - lookit those snappers! comment
I'm sorry but reading the comments, I cannot forgive the comment from lookit those snappers! where he refers to all these elusive movie objects as McGuffins. They are not all McGuffins!!! The brief case in Kiss Me Deadly = McGuffin. The Sankara Stones in…

Locke and Chance and Alpert
Firstly, I think we can see that Locke was being tested all his life by Richard Alpert - for what purpose exactly, we don't know - but nevertheless Alpert had his eye on Locke for many years. It would appear that after high school, that interest dissipated. We didn't see Alpert visiting…

The Good and the Bad - At Least There Is No Ugly
I took myself downtown last night for a midnight screening and was pleasantly surprised. I was afraid it might turn into something less than wonder-filled but Robert Downey, Jr. really does bring it home. He plays the smart-ass Stark with great energy but you are also…

First-Time Viewing
It's awful that I don't remember the first time I ever saw Alien. I just remember being frightened out of my wits but I don't specifically remember watching it for the first time and seeing the chestburster scene. I wish I could. I agree that Alien or even Aliens is one of those movies you wish you…

crazy people
Firstly, Aliens is by far one of the greatest movies ever!! Anyone who says different doesn't know quality.

The Happening?
Have we forgotten Shyamalan's new brainfreeze The Happening coming out June 13? Come on. Nothing can wreck a summer of blockbusters better than another wannabe-brilliant Shyamalan flick. Then again, the darn trailer looks promising. But all his trailers look "promising." The question is whether they…

I happen to love Coldplay and the new song
Did I miss the memo when everyone decided Coldplay was lame and too commercial and uncool for anyone to like without getting judgment leveled against them?

Halle Berry the new Sharon Stone?
I feel like Halle Berry is the new Sharon Stone. I mean, Stone got nominated for Basic Instinct, right? And Halle Berry won for Monster's Ball? Well, since their over-sexualized performances in those movies, what have they done worth our time? Nothing.

Morrissey
Ouch, David Morrissey has the charisma of beige wallpaper. Jinkies, that's harsh. So you have a plastic actress, an actor less interesting than watching glue dry, and random other decent actors like Charlotte Rampling and David Thewlis who did the movie for the money. Sounds like a real treat.

not a flop
I actually agree that when I saw this in theaters, I thought I was seeing something really top-notch, but then after a few weeks all I could remember was Jake Gyllenhaal parading around in the Santa hat. It's a good film, but it's not memorable. It's not anything extraordinary. It is true that it has…

Brilliant Episode
I truly was staggered by this episode. Made me love Ben more than I already did. And Smoky. And Locke. And even Hurley earned bonus points. I loved the stand-off between Locke, Sawyer, and Hurley taking charge and solemnly going with Locke and Ben. He knows what they're talking about and knows he…

Schumacher Aims For Quality …
I think the best part of Batman and Robin is Schumacher's attempt to spice the movie up by adding a little homage to an old Marlene Dietrich movie called Blonde Venus in which Dietrich dances around in an ape costume (sound familiar) and seductively removes the gloves and then the…

IMHO, I LOVE the KFC bowls!
I didn't read the comments but even if I'm not the first to say it, I LOVE the KFC bowls. So filling. And I'm one of those types who loves to put everything on my plate on my fork and eat it, so the mixture is something I would normally do anyways. I tend to mix cottage cheese with white…

Costner
One could spend hours mud-slinging over Costner's horrible resume. I mean, Robin Hood? The only good thing about that movie is Alan Rickman running around like a madman wanting to tear hearts out with spoons. And don't get me started on The Bodyguard. Woof. But I must say, when he sticks with baseball, things…

The best of the paparazzi?
I disagree. Natalie Portman getting pissed on by a dog? The photo doesn't even show a clear stream of yellow from the dog to the actress. That's not my idea of greatest paparazzi photo ever. Quality would be if the dog did a little Number 2 on her and the action was clearly visible in the…
