Totally entertaining movie. Harrison Ford is perfect as Indiana and Karen Allen has her best role as Marion. One of Spielberg's best films. Top notch all the way around.

Indiana:"You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together. I've got nothing better to do".

Marilyn's best role and best film has the gorgeous one playing a young woman living in the upstairs apartment of a married man. The man is prone to daydreaming about being a real ladies man but when he finally meets Marilyn, comedic results happen quickly and often. A hilarious film that shot Monroe to stardom. You can't go wrong with this one.

The Girl: I think it's just elegant to have an imagination. I just have no imagination at all. I have lots of other things, but I have no imagination.

This is where it started. I mean Kevin Costner's version was a good entertaining film, but for me, Errol Flynn is the Robin Hood. No question about it. One of the best looking and best sounding movies you will ever see. Lots of action and witty dialogue plus great villians in Basil Rathbone as Sir Guy and Claude Rains as Prince John. Plus Olivia deHavilland is terrific as Maid Marian. A winner any way you look at it.


Lady Marian:"Why, you speak treason!"

Robin:"Fluently".

One of Hitch's best films he ever made. Anthony Perkins is perfect as Norman Bates, a young man who runs The Bates Motel, who has a serious mother fixation. Along comes Janet Leigh, a young woman on the run from the cops for stealing money from her job. And the rest is cinema magic. Psycho set the standard for all the slasher flicks that would follow, but it's still the best one. It works as a thriller and a character piece. You really get to know Norman Bates and Perkins does a helluva job. Janet Leigh is pretty good too. A must see.

Norman Bates: A boy's best friend is his mother.

Awesome sci-fi film. I loved it from the first time I ever saw it. The plot has our hero Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, as a policeman who hunts down replicants in the year 2019. Replicants are human clones used to work in conditions too dangerous for normal people. Well, a crew of replicants escape from their ship and hide out in LA wanting to meet their creator to give them more life. Replicants are built with a specific time span of only 4 years. So Deckard is called back in to track them down. He's the best blade runner there is. This film will blow you away with innovative special effects, a great storyline, and terrific characters. Ford is solid as usual. But Rutger Hauer as head replicant Roy Batty is phenomenal. Check out this movie if you haven't seen it. The new DVD just came out and I hear it's the final cut, so I may have to go and buy it, even though I have the original version. Yes, it's that good.

Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Excellent film from Billy Wilder (Some Like It Hot) about a struggling young screenwriter (Holden) who runs into former silent film star Norma Desmond (Swanson) who is dreaming of a comeback. She hires him to patch up her script so Cecil B. DeMille can direct her. The lady is a little around the bend, but the writer needs money so he takes the job. This is a marvelous film with great performances. And it holds up today beautifully. William Holden is great as Joe, the writer. It's one of his best parts ever. But it's Gloria Swanson who owns this picture. She is simply amazing. And the dialogue in this film is some of the best you will ever hear in a movie. Great stuff.

Joe Gillis: There's nothing tragic about being fifty. Not unless you're trying to be twenty-five.

Classic Disney fantasy film about the nanny Mary Poppins who works her magic for two unhappy children in London, England. Julie Andrews is simply outstanding in her film debut. She positively glows when she is onscreen. I can see why she won the Best Actress Oscar that year. It is easily one of the best screen performances of all time. Of course, Mary Poppins is a hard act to follow and she would never come close to matching it except for maybe The Sound of Music. Anyway, a childhood classic that still holds up with a lot of song and dance, some humor, and some ok special effects. The flying sequences hold up better than the other effects. And Duick Van Dyke is a plus as chimney sweeper Bert. A true classic.

Mary Poppins: Our first game is called "well begun is half done."
Michael: I don't like the sound of that.
Mary Poppins: Otherwise entitled, "let's tidy up the nursery."
Michael: I told you she was tricky.

Very funny romantic comedy with a twist. The twist being the bride to be falls in love with her florist who happens to be a woman. Piper Perabo is the bride and she is very good but Lena Headey is absolutely wonderful as Luce, the florist. She's carefree and fun to be around. This is one of those under the radar movies that nobody sees and it turns out to be a great movie. One of my favorites now.

Heck: "So, what about you? Are you married? Ever been married, ever gonna get married?"
Luce: "No. No. Maybe now that the law's been changed."
Heck: "How do you mean?"
Luce: "Well, I'm gay"
Heck: "Mmm...well done"

Classic film noir about a writer who goes looking for his old childhood buddy and becomes entangled in a mystery. Top notch suspense with a great cast led by Joseph Cotten as the writer and Orson Welles as his missing friend-Harry Lime. Definetly a must see film. You won't be disappointed. Features one of the most memorable lines in movie history. Harry:"Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love- they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock".

Very well done comic book adaptation set in the future of Britain where a masked vigilante called V wages ware against the government's oppression. He rescues a young woman named Evey who becomes his ally. A well written and stylishly directed film with a suprisingly strong performance by Natalie Portman as Evey. And Hugo Weaving is pretty good also, considering the fast his face his covered the entire movie in a mask.

Evey: "Remember, remember the fifth of November".

Definetly not the Disney version. Updated modern retelling done with superb visuals and graphic violence. Throw in Johnny Depp, some sex to spice things up, and a blonde Christina Ricci and you have a winner. Lady Van Tassel: "Mind your head".

Top notch film with a super cast. It takes place at Pearl Harbor, a few weeks before the attack by the Japanese. Montgomery Clift who plays Private Prewitt, arrives at the base and immediately draws the ire of the commander, who wants him to be on the boxing team. Clift refuses and his life at the barracks becomes a living hell. A truly emotional and epic film with a cast that features Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Donna Reed, and Frank Sinatra. All give Oscar caliber performances especially Reed as a floozie who Clift falls for. And Sinatra is perfect as Private Maggio. A must see.

Karen: "If you're looking for the captain...he ain't here"
Sgt. Warden: "And if I ain't looking for the captain?"
Karen: "Then he still ain't here"

I thought it was a pretty good film. It won't be to everyone's tastes though. Part women bonding film, part horror film. The second half of the film is more action packed and bloodier but the first half is just as good setting the mood of the film perfectly. Plus it has a little humor. Two of the women stand out from the rest: Natalie Mendoza and Shauna MacDonald. A must see for anyone looking for some thrills mixed with a good storyline.

Beth:"I'm an English teacher, not fucking Tomb Raider".

Easily the best one in the series. Truly a great film. Peter Jackson does an amazing job with the whole trilogy but I think Fellowship is the strongest one. The other two films kinda get carried away with the CG and battle scenes, but this one focuses on the characters and the storytelling is a lot more interesting. The cast is superb led by Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, and Sean Astin. This is the one that should have won best film, not Return of the King. A great film that resides in my top 5.

James Garner is LA private detective Marlowe who is hired by a young girl to find her missing brother. What starts as a simple job turns into a mystery involving a high profile Hollywood actress, a ruthless gangster, cops, strippers, and one questionable doctor. Garner is very smooth as Marlowe. The standouts in this film include a wow striptease and incredible performance by Rita Moreno, who is smoking hot and a face off between Marlowe and Bruce Lee in his film debut. Enjoyable enough.

Dolores Gonzáles: [responding, mid-striptease, to Philip Marlowe's question] The streets are paved with forgotten husbands!

Excellent action comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead. Simon Pegg is a riot as Nicholas Angel, the most decorated cop in London who is transferred to a sleepy little village called Sandford. All seems quiet until a rash of murders happens and Angel goes all out to find out what's going on. A well paced film that mixes action with humor very well. Nick Frost who also played in Shaun with Pegg is on hand for this one too. Timonthy Dalton plays a slimy bad guy. This movie is great and the last 30 minutes are about the best 30 minutes you will ever see on film. And features some of the most memorable quotes in film you will ever hear. Don't miss this one. Highly recommended. Oh, one side-note, it does have several gory scenes that will catch you off guard. Good stuff. Highly recommended.
