Nicolas Cage was the commencement speaker at my college graduation in 2001. (Cal State Fullerton, btw). As everyone was being seated, trailers for all his films were playing on the jumbotron, including the upcoming "Captain Corelli's Mandolin." Pretty much the only thing I remember from his speech was his parting…

It's also 1/2 the battle!

So true. I love how that it pretty must just says, "Hope you had fun. We'll see you next time!"

I vividly remember the audience applauding in the theatre when it's revealed that the little girl is okay.

"They don't call it a Casino Quarter-Pounder?"

Haha, no, I know. That's what I love about the Bond films (the earlier ones anyway), but that one felt exceptionally shoehorned in.

"Next Saturday night, we're sending you BACK… to the future… Part III!"

Even as a child, that line pissed me off. Makes no goddamn sense.

"This truly is 'Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist…'"

Never forget.

About 20 years ago, Ice-T came to perform spoken word at my college, followed by a Q&A with the audience. Someone asked him if he liked Living Colour. His response was, "Living Colour? Nah, man. They remind me of them ni**as I used to rob."

Oh, I totally love "Serendipity," if only for the fact that it may have been the last time both Cusack and Piven were tolerable.

I quickly skimmed the piece to see if "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" made the cut. I was not disappointed.

I remember much ado being made about the soundtrack featuring the new Guns N' Roses song… but it was GNR with Buckethead so who gives a fuck?

It's fascinating to look back and see what movies were bumped from their fall/winter 2001 release dates as to not appear insensitive to 9/11. "Collateral Damage," mentioned here, was pushed back. Off the top of my head, I also remember "The Time Machine," "Bad Company," "Big Trouble," and "Serendipity." Even the…

Kill me now, but for some unholy reason I remember back in 2000 when Rosie O'Donnell took her show for a weeklong worth of shows at Warner Bros. Studios (I SAID KILL ME NOW), and in one episode, the entire opening was just her driving around in a golfcart around the lot, set to "Smooth," as she lip-synced along. (DO…

I waited in a line that wrapped around the theatre for "Temple of Doom." I was six. I remember my mom warning me that she had heard it was "gory." To this day, it remains my favorite movie of all time, and I feel like I'll always be chasing that movie theatre high — of witnessing something for the first time with such…

Just wait till "Nundercover" comes out!

Who Baywatches the Baywatchmen?

By the time Arnold was his age, he had already worked with Cameron, McTiernan, and Milius. I like Justin Lin and James Wan, but, due to the nature of those movies being ensembles, he's only been used sparingly in what are arguably the best films on his resume. Working with Shane Black on Doc Savage is a HUGE step to…
