Holiday Wish List

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
My knowledge of Hitlers life and Germanys History is not yet to that level of what I want it to be, but basing from what Ive already read and know, its actually a pretty good film. Its NOT perfect, but its good enough to give you goosebumps.

I want to give this movie a perfect 5, but I feel that there were some scenes that I couldnt really agree upon. About the time of World War I when Hitler was a messenger, and the questionable "script" they placed to what little they actually touched on Hitlers childhood.

The movie subltly, and slowly gives out some sort of misinformation, you might call it an opinionated character bashing, which I think is so not necessary for this type of film and story. Hitler was a madman, but I think there is no need for the "evil exaggeration", but as far as the casting, acting and directing went, it was perfect, its just really the slight alterations on the story that made me slash off half a star in my rating.

This is a 2 part film, and its 3 hours long, but nonetheless interesting. When the movie was about to end, I thought that I was gonna be left hangging, but they did make up for it before the credits rolled in.

(I have a fascination for this slice of history, mainly because I want to understand and know the truth about what happened during that time. I feel robbed of this story/knowledge because exclusive all girls catholic schools dont put this on the curriculumn.)

Best viewed back to back with Hitler - eine Karriere, which is a very interesting and intriguing old documentary that actually shows the real people as themselves.

"I got it! You daughter's not your daughter, and the cash that used to be the jewels is now your underwear!"

- Connie (Chazz Palminteri)

This is one of circa 90s highly underrated comedy films. An american remake of the original 1967 french movie.

A day of a life of an "ex" mobster boss. New York City - 1930s. Angelo "Snaps" Provolone promises that he would do anything to make his father "die a happy man". --- On the day that Snaps goes legit, the cops are alerted that something big is going on.

Snaps, who is "no longer Snaps" learns that his accountant is stealing from him, his daughter is not his daughter, his housemaid is leaving, and everything else seems to have gone crazy on his very first day as a legit Banker!


"Let's get started, I got until noon to look like a banker."
I consider Oscar to be one of Sylvester Stallone's best comedy acts in his entire movie career. This is also the movie where I first laid my eyes on Marissa Tomei, she really caught my attention in this movie with her portrayal of Lisa Provolone, her "brattiness and flirtyness" was just something I really liked as a kid. I've been a Marrisa Tomei fan ever since I saw her in this flick. Chazz Palmineri is just an added treat in this movie. Its always fun to watch him play a gangster anyway.

Stylish, smart, clean and witty! I most espcially loved the constant play of words used in this movie. Its amazing for an old film to have such a timeless effect, the characters and jokes in this movie never fails to make me laugh!

Highly Recommended!
A fun movie for everyone!

Director: John Landis
