His remake of The Manchurian Candidate is pretty good too. It actually makes me wonder if he could have similarly handled The Wicker Man remake, which actually wasn't a horrible idea; just horribly executed.

You should know better than to expect any sort of consistency or principle from the increasingly unhinged left.

The prequels, for all their faults, we're ambitious. TAG was a thoroughly lazy piece of filmmaking: aping ANH so closely plotwise that it became a virtual remake, adding nothing of note to the overall mythology and featuring a completely unappealing protagonist in Rey. I'll take any one of the prequels over it.

Disagree. It's perfectly watchable space opera.

It's been 17 years. Maybe enough time has passed that people can start to admit that The Phantom Menace isn't the worst film ever made and that the endless whining about it has gotten REALLY old. If you want to talk disappointing Star Wars films, I'd start with The Force Awakens, which left me completely cold. What…

Hurts resume is an embarrassment of riches, but one great performance that often gets overlooked is Love and Death On Long Island. In the hands of a lesser actor it could have been disastrous but Hurt nails every aspect of a tricky, layered role.

Marge's climatic reading of the riot act to her pain-in-the-ass family is a glorious moment of catharsis for this viewer who even in classic episodes just finds the Simpson clan generally annoying. Of course, her revolting capitulation just seconds later is a reminder that ultimately she's as deserving of contempt as…

Good to see one of the 'Macs more overlooked records getting some notice. I'll take this one and Tango over the overrated Tusk any day of the week.

I thought Kevin Smith was going to stop making movies, and devote his time to long boring digressions with fellow stoner douchebags about Star Wars, Wayne Gretzky and weed.

Absolutely! She's completely hot in that film! One other reason to see it..!

What a coincidence! I grew up in Dunedin.

Even speaking as a New Zealander who loved the LOTR films, I would have so loved to see that!

Exorcist II is a bad film, but it's an interesting bad film. And interesting counts for a lot in my book.

"My only function is to be object of lust for poor nerds who cannot get American pussy."

I'm not a huge fan of Westerns, but I liked this a lot. Especially refreshing was the way it didn't sugarcoat the brutality of an Indian raid.

Jerkass Homer turned up to 11….around this time I started to genuinely despise him. Realising it wasn't healthy to expend that much energy on a cartoon character, I largely tuned out The Simpsons after that (except for repeats of the classic early seasons, but that's different).

Jars of Clay did a decent version of this a couple of years ago.

The crisis at the end of this one ,with Quimby and the electric chair, is so laughably contrived that it takes me completely out of the episode. Which is a shame, as it's pretty funny otherwise.

No love for Wonderland? He's awesome in that.
