I never understood "shoot the hostage."

Wish the Columbo pilot had been included here

Koogler

Did that one where he played Melissa Mccarthy's cranky neighbor fall into that category? Still need to get around to seeing it.

Seems like Osment is trying to carve out a niche for himself as a go to comedic character actor.

It's difficult for me to re-watch White Caps. Watching Gandolfini and Falco go at it, emptying out years of resentments at each other, reminding me too much of every bitter, vicious fight I've ever had with an ex. Sopranos may not be the best show of all time, but I don't ever think the acting in that one scene will…

I really liked it as well. I was introduced to it through this site, which ran an article making it out to be the worst thing ever. Then I felt like a square when I watched it and laughed.

It seemed like Antz was less stunt casting and more pitched directly around the concept of inserting the Woody Allen persona into an animated kids movie.

The reviews for this movie are crazy good. This one is on the lower end of what I've seen.

Sure. But this one isn't. Benigni doesn't exactly do 'irony.'

I consider the title reprehensible, but it could be a cultural thing. Growing up Jewish (at least in my household) I was conditioned not to reduce the Holocaust to any sort of metaphor or transcendent meaning (especially not one as facile as "love conquers all."). Millions of people were rounded up into camps,…

He is a funny, funny man.

It's pretty hard to argue he's really had any out and out flops. He had a disappointing run about 10 years ago (The Rundown, Walking Tall, Doom, Gridiron Gang) after he was anointed the next big action star. These movies didn't really "flop" per se, they were more "middling" than anything else. He then transitioned…

Arguably it was a movie about Holocaust revisionism.

I think sometimes remember the award itself more than the work. Benigni climbing over the chairs and freaking out after winning best actor probably overshadows the collective memories of Life is Beautiful. Or perhaps we repressed the fact that a movie ostensibly about the Holocaust had the nerve to call itself "Life…

Seemed to have a pretty definitive ending. I don't know what a second season would have looked like.

1. Spotlight
2. Mad Max: Fury Road
3. Brooklyn
4. Room
5. Bridge of Spies
6. The Big Short
7. The Martian
8. The Revenant

I am interested in the sexism allegation. What were you referencing?

I have to admit, that is an awesome title.

Is this cannon?
