Actually, I think they were technically better armed, at least by normal standards. Normally, some M1 Carbines and .45 pistols would be pretty heavy but I guess not in that movie!

An INTELLECTUAL carrot,

Sometimes I feel as if I'm one of the only people who loves BOTH versions of THE THING. The 1951 version is still a superior "monster on the loose" film with great direction, atmosphere and well developed characters. Many will claim that Carpenter's version is more frightening and…they are probably right. However, I…

Try and enjoy the daylight.

His films were hardly the best. They were cheaply made and oftentimes, horrendously performed, which he was the first to admit. However, they also included a tinge of the truly bizarre and unique humor that set them apart from many of his imitators that appeared through the next few decades. His use of splatter had a…

He was second only to Poe as the greatest practitioner of classic horror. His work still stands as uniquely disturbing and deceptively complex. I'd rank his most indelible work as veering between the epic(At The Mountains Of Madness, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Shunned House) and very basic (The Outsider, Cool Air,…

Dracula: Dead and Loving It was very weak but Leslie Nielsen and Peter Macnichol do a hilarious parody of Bela Lugosi and Dwight Frye. Unfortunately, that film lacks the heart that made Young Frankenstein so great.

He had such an appropriate name. I could scarcely think of a more "wilder" actor. In his peak period of the 70s, his specialty of manic and yet, strangely sympathetic characters, left him in an absolutely unique possession that has yet to be or may never be, filled.

We believe in the power and the might!

Lethal Weapon.

This show reeks of Low Winter Sun.

It's a shame they never gave Turn a chance. That show started out pretty poorly and it's first season is nothing to write home about but that really became a fun pulpy kind of fun that really deserves a wider audience.

That stuff is so much fun. I'd love to see a return to that sort of thing. That kind of innocent old-fashioned action/adventure.

This doesn't sound much like an Indiana Jones. It sounds more like a swashbuckler. There's nothing wrong with that just as long as it's actual fencing and not that ridiculous jumping around cgi horseshit that passes for sword fighting in today's Hollywood.

I just don't think it's all sexism and to suggest that sounds, well, sexist! I just think it looks like a very bad movie! Maybe it won't be but I'm not a fan of Feig's work, either.

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

Speechless sounds positively riveting.

The General is a great movie and one of the reasons is that the politics never matter, It's really just a movie about a man, a woman and a train.

Dickens knew first hand about inequality and the exploitation of the labor force. It's a primary reason why his stories will always be reread. A Christmas Carol, in particular, has such a timeless message that I wish quite a few of our politicians and business leaders would remember.

That's my primary reason for defending it. That film so beautifully shot. The leads are memorable as well but it is not in the same league as many other greats produced that year.
