If anything, that message has aged pretty well. That whole “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” adage. The best Sturges films have messages that transcend time. Sullivan’s Travels is one that certainly springs to mind.

This is one of the great comedies, as were the majority of Preston Sturges films made during this period. When one discusses great classic American cinema, he is one of the names worthy of discussion, especially in the realm of comedy.

Sarcasm has always had a hard time translating in the overly sensitive world of the internet. I guess people forget that this is the sister site of The Onion?

This film’s ultimate failure was in trying for revisionist history. It undermines these fascinating real-life characters and the creation of one of the most enduring fictional creations of all time.

It seems more sexist to assume that because the writer was female that any slight directed toward said novel, however much of a masterpiece it may be, is automatically “sexist.”

I always found that track especially metallic. Queen were always at their best as a hard rock band, which is really what they were. Those first two albums, in particular, are really great stabs at a proto-metallic sound.

He can be a surprisingly good actor. His turn in the recent Blade Runner film was a testament to that.

I don’t agree with the assessment on Del Toro. I think most of his Hollywood output is merely average but not his Spanish films and certainly not Pan’s Labyrinth. That was one of the best films of the last decade. I think people are too harsh in what gets an “A” here. I rate something based on intent and purpose. Del…

Your comments are the only reason I’m here.

That’s depressing.

That sounds great!

It’s kind of insulting. Percy Shelley did not just edit Frankenstein but was highly supportive of Mary’s writing. In fact, his encouragement and suggestion played a significant role in that novel becoming the world classic it is today.

I’ve been tough on The Walking Dead for years now. I see a show with potential and the ingredients for something special. Occasionally, the show has delivered that and that may be what has kept me on.

Connery was fantastic in The Untouchables, though. There’s no reason to berate the performance. That’s just hindsight and we could apply that to many years past and as many performances.

This guy was the real deal. That’s why he is so unforgettable in Full Metal Jacket. Perhaps, to not such a psychotic degree, but certainly this one of cinema’s most believable military men.

Mary Shelley looks like self righteous garbage. It looks like revisionist history at it’s worst, making complicated and interesting people into caricatures.

The writing is just haphazard. The idea of Rick being no different than his enemies has been played and increased over the course of the series. It’s an old trope reflective of the western influence on this show. However, what’s the point? Rick was never defined enough to work as a good antihero. Walter White and Tony…

I found it to be a successful horror film that was well-directed and with an atmosphere of dread and terror that few in the last decade matched. However, I also find the film a victim of it’s own hype, a hype that it could never hope to live up to. A friend of mine described it as “something John Carpenter would have…

I also love all the homages to the original B-material from the 30s and 40s. Rondo Hatton is the lead goon? I love that.

I am very much a fan of westerns and was amazed by how dull that film really was. There were no colorful characters, no impressive setpieces and outside of an exciting opening, not much rally happens. 1931 had several actual classics, too. City Lights, Frankenstein, The Public Enemy, The Front Page. Dr. Jekyll and Mr.…
