1	Milk (2008, R) This should've won the Acadamey Award! I SWEAR TO GOD THIS WAS AMAZING. Dustin Lance Black is so young but so amazing as a screen writer, I can't believe how young he is. I really think i'll look up more of HIS work. Sean Penn was amazing, and to believe that he wasn't really gay, oh this movie is amazing, the emotions, costumes, music, acting, and power of the movie is so outstanding, to BELIEVE i never knew about the real Harvey Milk. And there was no REAL nudity, some "suggestive"ness-- or them make you imagine that their really nude. It was perfect. I really can't believe this movie. "I'm Harvey Milk, and I'm here to Recruit You!" I can't believe that this movie was so inspirting to me, a person who never knew about this man or this disput... i'm young! But it touched me even though I knew it was acting, but that's the thing in a movie like this, it isn't just acting, it's a refresher for a real life event that hellped and changed thousands of lives and helped thousands of people even today find themselves and the courage to do brillant things! James Franco Should've won an award or been nominated for being such an amazing Scottie (the first boyfriend Sean Penn's character has). But I still can't get over the chemistry that two straight men can have while acting gay. Sean Penn and James Franco seemed sincerley gay when they were together on screen-- they were so so real. And the entire cast was amazing. I've rated them in the order of amazingness (my scale may not be yours) 1. James Franco 2. Sean Penn 3. Emile Hirsh 4. Alison Pill 5. Lucas Gabriel 6. Josh Brolien Amazing some of my favorite quotes: I'm harvey milk and I'm here to recruit you!" -- Harvey Milk I know i'm not what you expected but I left my high heels at home!" Harvey Milk "Your going to be very fat by the time your fifty if you keep eating this cake!" Scottie Dan White: "Society can't exist without the family. Harvey Milk: We're not against that. Dan White: Can two men reproduce? Harvey Milk: No, but God knows we keep trying." Oh bye the way I pissed in your pool" Scottie Your adorrable, why don't we get you registered!" Harvey Milk Scottie: "are you on uppers or something?" Harvey: "No this is plain old me!" Scott Smith: [Harvey and Scott are finally sitting down to dinner] Don't say ANYTHING. Harvey Milk: [tucks his napkin under the collar of his shirt, eats a bite] Can I just tell you... Scott Smith: If you say anything, about politics, or the campaign, or what speech you have to give, or anything, I swear to God I'm gonna stab you with this fork. Harvey Milk: I just wanted to say... that this is the most wonderful dinner I have ever had. [Both start laughing] Harvey Milk: If we lose this, it'll just be you and me again, I promise. A homosexual with power... that's scary!" Harvey Milk "If it's true that children emulate their teachers we'd have a hell of a lot more nuns running around!" Harvey Milk about Jack Lira] "The new Mrs. Milk. I give it a week." Cleve Jones You replaced Scott with a lesbien?" Jim Revaldo How do you teach homosexuality? Is it like French?" Harvey Milk All these quotes and more are the reason the movie can go from funny to sad and right back! It's the writing and emotions and I thank the cast for the emotions and the writer (Dustin Lance Black) for writing this... even though I really should thank the real people for living this. This movie deserves all the five stars I've given it. I'm just upset that so many people don't want to see it because they don't want to see a gay movie. But it's something that is irreplaceble! It's a movie that shows how much one person can change the world by starting with his/her own neighborhood. You can start with your street than your city than your state and even if your not their to see it, it can change the entire country and then world. And you can change circumstances for one "type" of person and it will help change circumstances for all other types of people. [from trailer] Harvey Milk: Without hope, life's not worth living. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [from trailer] Harvey Milk: All men are created equal.

First order of business to come out of this office is the city-wide gay rights ordinance, just like the one that Anita shot down in Dade County. What do you think, Lotus Blossom? Michael Wong: I think it's good. It's not great. Harvey Milk: Okay, so make it brilliant. We want Anita's attention here, in San Francisco. I wanted to bring her fight to us. We need a unanimous vote - we need headlines. Jim Rivaldo: Dan White is not going to vote for this. Harvey Milk: Dan White'll be fine, Dan White is just uneducated. We'll teach him. Dan White: [suddenly appearing in the doorway] Hey, Harv! Committee meets at nine-thirty. [to everyone else] Dan White: Hi, you guys. [to Harvey] Dan White: Um, say, did you get the invitation to my son's christening? I invited a few of the other supes too. Harvey Milk: Oh, well, I'll be there! Dan White: Great! Thanks. [waves at everyone and leaves] Dick Pabich: Did he hear you? Jim Rivaldo: What the fuck? Anne Kronenberg: Are you going? Harvey Milk: I would let him christen me if it means he's gonna vote for the gay rights ordinance. Jim Rivaldo: [as Harvey is talking] I think he can hear you. Jesus. Harvey Milk: We need allies. Dick Pabich: I don't think he heard you. Cleve Jones: Is it just me or is he cute? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Smith: [Harvey and Scott are finally sitting down to dinner] Don't say ANYTHING. Harvey Milk: [tucks his napkin under the collar of his shirt, eats a bite] Can I just tell you...

Tom Ammiano: And how are you going to determine who's a homosexual? State Senator John Briggs: My bill outlines procedures for identifying homosexuals. Tom Ammiano: How? Will you be sucking them off? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan White: Dan White's got an issue! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan White: [extremely drunk, to Jack Lira] Whatever! I don't even know who you are, you just showed up out of nowhere, Latino man. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Lira: I love you. I love you. Harvey Milk: Do you even remember my name? Jack Lira: [laughs softly] No. Harvey Milk: Harvey. I'm Harvey. Jack Lira: Harvey.

You liar! We'll set your hair on fire! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- McConnely: There's Man's Law and there's God's Law in this neighborhood.

[to Scott] Harvey Milk: Schmuck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cleve Jones: [about Jack Lira] The new Mrs. Milk. I give it a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Rivaldo: You replaced Scott with a lesbian? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: Forty years old and I haven't done a thing that I'm proud of. Scott Smith: You keep eating this cake, you're gonna be fat by the time you're fifty. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Smith: Looks like you're gonna make it to fifty after all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: My fellow degenerates... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: Is anyone gonna pay the pizza guy, or are we all just gonna stare? Dick Pabich: Why wouldn't we stare? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: How do you teach homosexuality? Is it like French? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: [Voice Over, Last lines] I ask this... If there should be an assassination, I would hope that five, ten, one hundred, a thousand would rise. I would like to see every gay lawyer, every gay architect come out - - If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door... And that's all. I ask for the movement to continue. Because it's not about personal gain, not about ego, not about power... it's about the "us's" out there. Not only gays, but the Blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us's. Without hope, the us's give up - I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. So you, and you, and you... You gotta give em' hope... you gotta give em' hope. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: [First lines] This is Harvey Milk speaking on Friday November 18th. This is to be played only in the event of my death by assassination. During one of the early campaigns, I started opening my speeches with the same line and it sort of became my signature... Hello, I'm Harvey Milk, and I'm here to recruit you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Milk: [Scott Smith is heading down the stairs and Harvey tries to make eye contact] Hey, hey... [Scott stops and looks at him] Harvey Milk: I'm Harvey. Scott Smith: Okay, Harvey... [smiles a little awkwardly] Harvey Milk: Today's my birthday. [Scott laughs] Harvey Milk: No, it actually is my birthday. At midnight. Scott Smith: [still smiling, a little skeptical] Really. Harvey Milk: And, believe it or not, I don't have any plans. [raises one eyebrow as he speaks] Harvey Milk: Some people took me out after work. Scott Smith: Oh, and that would be, ah, let me guess... Ma Bell or AT&T. Harvey Milk: The Great American Insurance Company. I'm part of that corporate establishment that, let me guess, you think is the cause of all the evil in the world from Vietnam to diaper rash. Scott Smith: You left out bad breath. Scott Smith: [Harvey covers his mouth; both start laughing] Just kidding. [pause] Harvey Milk: You're not going to let me spend my birthday all by myself, are you? Scott Smith: [gently teasing] Listen, Harvey, you're pretty cute, but... I don't date guys over forty. Harvey Milk: Well, then this is my lucky night. Scott Smith: Why's that? Harvey Milk: I'm still thirty-nine... [showing Scott his watch] Harvey Milk: It's only eleven-fifteen. [pauses, leans forward and kisses Scott] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dianne Feinstein: As President of the Board of Supervisors it's my duty to make this announcement: both Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk have been shot and killed.
2	Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let the Right One in) (2008, R) Absolutly one of the most heart-wrenching, soul pouring perfect movie i have ever seen. It was an absolute privlage to watch this movie. I watched it in Swedish with English subtitles (i suggest you do the same-- it enhanses the emtion and drama). I love this movie, the directing, acting, screenwriting, special effects, and the plot. This movie is based on a book (a book i've never read) and it's an adaption. i personally don't know if they adapted it well, but it was a great movie. The plot had a few different strings to it but the main string was Kare Hedebrant's character and Lina Leandersson's character. They had some real chemistry for 12 year olds. Kare Hedebrant played Oskar, a bullied, skranwy, lonely child whose parents are divrosed. The bullies pick on him daily, and he can't stand up to them. Kare plays this character with such intensitry and brillance that you can't help but get swept up in the forward momentum of the movie. He has a beautifully developed range of emtions, and he has great body language. I love his acting abilities-- he has the range and emotion of a developed actor. Lina Leandersson plays the vampire role in the film. She befriends Oskar and their stories intertwine. Lina acts with adult understanding. Her essence in this movie was to be matured and to have knowledge greater than Oskar or any of the people. She made us believe who she was, what she did, and how much she knew. But she also made us love her and want her to be able to live, even if others died to bring her life. She was an addictive actress to watch. You can't help but fall in love with her character. The chemistry between Kare and Lina's characters had such a realistic bond. They had chemistry greater than most adult actors can find whilst acting. They seemed like old souls who had known and loved eachother for generations. Ika Nord was good. She had a small part but played it well. She added to the realism and believeabilty of the vampiristic roles in the movie. The direction was brillant. It enhansed certain details and brought the gore to a minimal. It made certain things bigger and made the connection between Oskar and Eli stronger. The way their hands touched and the way their hands were the center made for an innocent and new type of relasionship for the characters and made it easier to find Eli innocent and to love her even though she is a vampire. The screen writing was great. There wasn't that much talking for a movie and that's what made the movie brillant. You focused on faces and touches, and the actions not the words that were said. The dialouge didn't matter as long as the characters connect. The connection is what makes the story real not the dialogue. The special effects were excellent-- the vampire special effects along with the fire and blood effects. This movie had a very good soundtrack aswell. The music was more than perfect for the mood and the theme of this movie. The music was more than perfect it was brillant and genius, it displayed the emotions and the moments, also the mood and theme. RATED R FOR: Adult Language Gore and Violence Sexual Content Favorite Quotes: advertisementLacke: Thank you again for another evening steeped in merriment and friendship. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oskar: Are you a vampire? Eli: I live off blood... [pause] Eli: Yes. Oskar: Are you... [pause] Oskar: Dead? Eli: No. Can't you tell? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oskar: How old are you? Eli: Twelve... more or less. Eli: What about you? Oskar: Twelve years, eight months and nine days. What do you mean, "more or less"? Oskar: When's your birthday? Eli: I don't know. Oskar: Don't you celebrate your birthday? Your parents... they've got to know. Eli: [Eli looks down on the ground] Oskar: Then you don't get any birthday presents, do you? Eli: No. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eli: [standing outside the door] You have to invite me in. Oskar: What happens if I don't? Oskar: What happens if you walk in anyway?

Oskar: What do you mean? Eli: [accusing tone] What are you staring at? Well? Eli: Are you looking at me? Eli: [points her finger at Oskar] So scream! Squeal! Eli: Those were the first words I heard you say. Oskar: I don't kill people. Eli: No, but you'd like to. If you could... To get revenge. Right? Oskar: Yes. Eli: Oskar, I do it because I have to. Eli: Be me, for a while. [pause] Eli: Please Oskar... Be me, for a little while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jimmy: You stay under water for three minutes. If you can do it, I'll just nick you. [brandishes switchblade] Jimmy: But if you can't, I'll poke one of your eyes out. An eye for an ear, right? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oskar: Are you really twelve? Eli: Yes. It's just I've been twelve for a very long time.
3	Edward Scissorhands (1990, PG-13) This is a movie for everyone and anyone. I personally love Johnny Depp but in this movie I didn't care that it was Johnny Depp until it was over. Johnny's emotions and expressions just drag you into the plot you don't see Johnny you see Edward and his Scissorhands. You see a confused man and forget that this is a movie. Normally you see actors and actresses as wow look how good he looks in this movie but I didn't see Johnny Depp looking confused and innocent I saw Edward, and it takes a special kind of actor to do that to any role. Tim Burtun is a special kind of director and this movie is a great example because of it's color. Burtun uses Darks and Pales. Edward is the perfect example. His pale skin dark hair and dark castle. But then the street is bright pinks, greens, blues, yellows, purples, and oranges. The people and everything created on the street by edward are all bright and peculiar. Tim Burtun gives everything a certian charm, either flamboyant (kinda like the Joker in his Batman) and the Dark and dead look (like in Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, and A Nightmare Before Christmas). Winona Ryder was a really beautiful and great actress in edward scissorhands. She was the type of person that makes not only the character but you also fall in love with her and imagine her as the most beautfiul person around. She even made Depp fall in love with her and they dated for three years after the movie was done shotting. Dianne Wiest did a beautiful job as the mother and the Avon Lady. one of my favorite lines from the posters is--- "Edward was locked in his castle where he couldn't hurt anyone and no one could hurt him.... until the avon lady called." And Peg, the mother, was so sweet and peppy, and just as innocent as Edward, and that shown through brightly with the acting of Dianne Weist who is a brillant actress. The whole cast did a brillant job but Johnny depp, Winona Ryder, and Dianne Wiest did the most outstanding jobs and most perfect memorable jobs in the world. I couldn't stop watching this movie a million times over and over and crying everytime I saw it. I CRYED IT WAS SO AMAZING. Please don't see this movie for me, but for the people who spent months making this masterpiece, and for Johnny Depp who made his reputation with Burtun with this movie. advertisementKim: Hold me. Edward: I can't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim: You're here... They didn't hurt you, did they? [Edward shakes his head] Kim: Were you scared? I tried to make Jim go back, but, you can't make Jim do anything. Thank you for not telling them that we... Edward: You're welcome. Kim: It must have been awful when they told you whose house it was. Edward: I knew it was Jim's house. Kim: You... you did? Edward: Yes. Kim: ...Well, then why'd you do it? Edward: Because you asked me to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill: So Edward, did you have a productive day? Edward: Mrs Monroe showed me where the salon's going to be. [turns to Peg] Edward: You could have a cosmetics counter. Peg Boggs: Oh, wouldn't that be great! Bill: Great. Edward: And then she showed me the back room where she took all of her clothes off. [everyone stares, Kevin snickers] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peg Boggs: The light concealing cream goes on first. Then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the secret. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim: [after seeing Edward accidentally cut Kim] Hey! Now you've done it! Kim: It was just a scratch Jim, really! Peg Boggs: What's going on? Jim: Call a doctor, he skewered Kim! Kim: He didn't skewer me! Jim: [now bullying and shoving Edward] You can't touch anything without destroying it! Who the hell do you think you are hanging around here, huh? Get the hell outta here! Go you freak! Jim: [to Kim] He tried to hurt you. Kim: No he did not and you know it! Jim: Are you nuts? I just saw him! Kim: Jim, I don't love you anymore I just want you to go, ok? Just go! Jim: Are you serious? Losing me to a loser like that? He isn't even human! Kim: Just get out of here ok, just go! Kim: [after Jim has left] Dad, did you see where Edward went? Bill: No, he just waltzed down the street. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill: Sweetheart, you can't buy the necessities of life with cookies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim: Forget about holding her hand, man. Think about the damage he could do to other places. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [last lines] Kim: You see, before he came down here, it never snowed. And afterwards, it did. If he weren't up there now... I don't think it would be snowing. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Esmerelda: I can't believe you sheep have strayed so far from the path of righteousness! Edward: [Walking towards Esmerelda] We're not sheep! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill: Soup's on! Edward: I thought this was shish kabob. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Joyce offers Edward lemonade] Joyce: Lemonade? [Edward pukes] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim: I'd give my left nut to see that again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peg Boggs: Why are you hiding back there? You don't have to hide from me - I'm Peg Boggs, your local Avon representative and I'm as harmless as cherry pie... [sees Edward come toward her] Peg Boggs: Oh - I can see that I've disturbed you. I'll just be going now... Edward: Don't go. Peg Boggs: [sees his scissor hands] Oh, my. What happened to you? Edward: I'm not finished. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward: Goodbye. [Kim kisses Edward] Kim: I love you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Officer Allen: Will he be OK, Doc? Psychologist: The years spent in isolation have not equipped him with the tools necessary to judge right from wrong. He's had no context. He's been completely without guidance. Furthermore, his work - the garden sculptures, hairstyles and so forth - indicate that he's a highly imaginative... uh... character. It seems clear that his awareness of what we call reality is radically underdeveloped. Officer Allen: But will he be all right out there? Psychologist: Oh yeah, he'll be fine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Peg Boggs: Darn this stuff! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- various characters: I know a doctor who might be able to help you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Host-TV: Quite a story, yes? Any questions for Edward? Yeah, get way over. Stand right up. Audience Member #1: What's been the best part of your new life here in town? Edward: The friends I made. Host-TV: Any other questions? Audience Member #2: Have you ever thought of having corrective surgery or prosthetics? I know a doctor that might be able to help you. Edward: I'd like to meet him. Host-TV: We'll give that name after the show. Thank you very much. That's very nice. Anyone else? Yes, stand right up. Audience Member #3: But if you had regular hands you'd be like everyone else. Edward: Yes, I know. Host-TV: I think he'd like that. Audience Member #4: Then no one would think you're special. You wouldn't be on TV or anything. Peg Boggs: No matter what, Edward will always be special. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- George: Eddie. The guys and I were talking, we'd like want to invite you to our card game on Friday night. Would you like that? Only thing is, you can't cut! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Kevin has brought Edward to his class for show and tell] Kevin: One chop to a guy's neck, and it's all over. [Edward does a karate pose; the class gasps in unison] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim: Edward, I was so afraid. I thought you were dead. Jim: [coming into the screen with a revolver] I didn't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim: [threatening Jim with Edward's scissors] STOP IT! Or I'll kill you myself! Jim: [Jim slaps her and kicks her away] Bullshit! Jim: [to Edward who is approaching Kim] Hey, I said stay away from her! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Inventor: I know it is a little early for Christmas, Edward, but; I have a present for you. [shows Edward his soon to be human hands] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward: Kevin, you wanna play scissors, paper, stone again? Kevin: No! Edward: Why not? Kevin: 'Cause it's boring. I always win! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suzanne: [at the dinner table, Edward hands her some meat with his scissors] I can't eat that, he used his hands. I think it's unsanitary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joyce: [after Edward cuts her hair] That was the single most thrilling experience of my entire life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kim: Why can't you do it? Jim: Because my father keeps the damn room locked. We need Edward to get us in. Kim: Well can't you just take the key when he's sleeping or something? Jim: You don't understand. The only thing that guy hangs onto tighter is his dick. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Officer Allen: We're looking for the man with the hands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [first lines] Kim: Snuggle in, sweetie. It's cold out there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill: OK, everybody. Grab your plates. Soup's on. Edward: [with mouth full] I thought this was shish-ka-bob. Bill: What? Edward: [a little clearer] I thought this was shish-ka-bob. Bill: Yeah, it is shish-ka-bob. It's a figure of speech, Ed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Esmerelda: He has been sent first to tempt you. But it's not too late. You must push him from you, expel him! Trample down the perversion of nature! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Esmerelda: It's not heaven he's from! It's straight from the stinking flames of hell! The power of Satan is in him, I can feel it. Can't you? Have you poor sheep strayed so far from the path? Edward: We're not sheep. Esmerelda: Don't come near me!
4	The Dark Knight (2008, PG-13) I have a confession to make before i start the actual review, quotes, and list of the cast and crew. My confession is, I really don't like superhero movies. The only ones i've ever seen are Batman and the Dark Knight. (I know kinda scary) THE DARK KNIGHT Directed By: Christopher Nolan Starring Cristian Bale- Batman/ Bruce Wayne Heath Ledger- The Joker Aaron Eckhart- Harvey Dent/ Two Face Maggie Gyllenhall- Rachel McAdams Gary Oldman- Gordon Michael Caine- Alfred Morgan Freeman - Lucius Fox (Obviously there are more people in the movie other than those, but those are the main characters and the most talented in the cast.) The Saddest part of watching this movie is knowing that the only reason they kept the Joker alive in this movie was so that Heath Ledger could come back in the next one and stun audiances a second time. Some of my favorite quotes from the movie are: The Joker is holding Rachel out the window Batman: Let her go! Joker: Very poor choice of words. (then lets her drop out the window) Joker: Here We go! Joker: Watch this pencil disapear! This movie happens to be one of the best movies ever made. This movie's cast is the perfect choice. Christan Bale comes back from Batman Begins (also directed by Christopher Nolen) to star as the one and only Batman in the next Batman movie. In This movie, the Joker is alive again (after being killed in Batman) and crazier than ever. Heath Ledger does a masterful portrayal of the Joker. He isn't as flamboyant as Jack Nicholson in Batman but he has this erie vibe around him, you think how could someone be so calm and so destructive and crazy all at the same time. During the whole movie your sitting there thinking what is the Joker going to do next, what did he set up that's going to go off with a bang. One of my favorite scenes is when Heath is in a nurses outfit skipping out of the hospital with a button that blows up the entire building and he hits it and the hospital doesn't blow up so he begins to smash it as fast as he can. And then when it starts going he starts to skip off again. It's really funny so if you haven't already seen the movie look for it when you see it. Rapping up my description of the Joker I am going to make a point that my brother made over and over when we first saw the movie, Heath Ledger got the Joker's laugh so perfectly is was horrifying. Maggie Gyllenhaal was the perfect choice for Rachel McAdams. Rachel was the Batmans old boyfriend and had known him since he was a kid. Later in the movie Rachel becomes Harvey Dents boyfriend. Maggie did a stupendous and memorable performance. Maggie always has memorable work because the second I saw her in the trailer I remebered her from Stranger Than Fiction. She was so right for the part because she was beautiful but at the same time you could see her being tough and fisty. Morgan Freeman was Bruce Wayne's worker, but also Batman's desiner. He plays Lucius Fox. Lucius is in charge of making the Batman's cool technical weapons and the suit. Morgan Freeman always give 110% and his streak wasn't broken in The Dark Knight. You will want to watch more of his movies after you see him in this. (you'll probablly want to see all the actors in the Dark Knight in their previous and future movies.) Michael Caine was a very wonderful Alfred. Michael Gough, who was the Alfred in the 1989 Batman was amazing, and perfect. But Michael Caine was ten times better than him so does that mean that Micheal Caine was AMAZING AND PERFECT BUT TO THE MAX? It does. You will be able to recognize him as an extremly talented actor. Aaron Eckhart was great too! He was so convincing as an actor. He made this movie better than it would have been with out him. He was Harvey Dent/ Two Face. His time as Two Face didn't last that long but he was definatly amazing as a Villian, but not by far even close to heath Ledger as a villan. Overall I have to say that this movie was one of the best movies of all time and should be remember forever as one to the greatest movies ever. I think there will be very few movies in the future that will compare to it. The Cast was perfect and the sad part is that Heath Ledger, the best part of the cast, won't be able to make another movie this perfect ever again. advertisementBruce Wayne: Targeting me won't get their money back. I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight, but this is different. They crossed the line. Alfred Pennyworth: You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand. Bruce Wayne: Criminals aren't complicated, Alfred. Just have to figure out what he's after. Alfred Pennyworth: With respect, sir, perhaps this is a man that you don't fully understand. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detective Wuertz: Dent. Jesus. I thought you was dead. Two-Face: Half. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: The famous Bruce Wayne. Rachel's told me everything about you. Bruce Wayne: I certainly hope not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gotham National Bank Manager: Oh, criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. Look at you! What do you believe in, huh? WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE IN? [Bozo leans down and sticks a grenade in the manager's mouth] Bozo: I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... [takes off his mask] The Joker: ...stranger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mayor: [regarding The Joker] What do we got? Lt. James Gordon: Nothing. No matches on prints, DNA, dental. Clothing is custom, no labels. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint. No name, no other alias. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [stumbles out of wrecked truck] The Joker: [to Batman] Come on, I want you to do it, I want you to do it. Come on, hit me. Hit me! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy: So why do they call him "The Joker"? Dopey: I heard he wears make-up. Happy: Make-up? Dopey: Yeah, to scare people. You know, war paint. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: Alfred, right? Alfred Pennyworth: That's right, sir. Harvey Dent: Yeah, Rachel talks about you all the time. You've known her, her whole life! Alfred Pennyworth: Oh, not yet, sir. Harvey Dent: Heh heh heh. Any psychotic ex-boyfriends I should be aware of? Alfred Pennyworth: [smiles] Oh, you have no idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are tonight's entertainment! I only have one question. Where is Harvey Dent? [nobody responds; The Joker walks around the room pointing with his shotgun at everyone] The Joker: You know where Harvey is? You know who he is? [grabs a man's face] The Joker: You know where I can find Harvey? I need to talk to him about something. Just something, a little. [turns the man's face away] The Joker: No... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: [to The Joker] You wanted me, here I am. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: You know that day that you once told me about, when Gotham would no longer need Batman? It's coming. Rachel Dawes: Bruce. You can't ask me to wait for that. Bruce Wayne: It's happening now. Harvey is that hero. He locked up half of the city's criminals, and he did it without wearing a mask. Gotham needs a hero with a face. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Lau announces that he's removed all the mob's cash from their banks before the police raid, and stashed them in a secure location] Lau: Now, obviously, no one except me can know the location for now. But rest assured, your money is safe. [From outside comes the sound of loud, fake laughter. The mob bosses turn and see the Joker enter] The Joker: And I thought my jokes were bad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alfred Pennyworth: A long time ago, I was in Burma, my friends and I were working for the local government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders by bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. So we went looking for the stones. But in six months, we never found anyone who traded with him. One day I saw a child playing with a ruby the size of a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing them away. Bruce Wayne: Then why steal them? Alfred Pennyworth: Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: You know, I'll settle for his loved ones. Gentleman at Party: We're not intimidated by thugs! The Joker: [as he smacks his lips] You know, you remind me of my father. [the Joker pulls out his switchblade and brings it to the Gentleman's mouth] The Joker: I hated my father! Rachel Dawes: [off-screen] Okay, stop! [turns to face Rachel, tosses the Gentleman to his thugs and approaches Rachel, adjusting his hair with the knife] The Joker: Well, hello, beautiful. You must be Harvey's squeeze, hm? And you are beautiful. [the Joker hovers around the incredibly nervous Rachel] The Joker: Well, you look nervous. Is it the scars? You want to know how I got 'em? [He grabs Rachel's head and positions the knife by her mouth] The Joker: Come here. Hey! Look at me. So I had a wife, beautiful, like you, who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks... Look at me! One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again, hm? I just want her to know that I don't care about the scars. So... I stick a razor in my mouth and do this... [the Joker mimics slicing his mouth open with his tongue] The Joker: ...to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I'm always smiling! [Rachel knees the Joker in the groin; he merely laughs it off] The Joker: A little fight in you. I like that. Batman: [off-screen] Then you're going to love me. [attacks him] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: It's a funny world we live in. Speaking of which, do you know how I got these scars? Batman: No! But I know how you got these! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [bumps along while driving hijacked truck] The Joker: I like this job - I like it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [first lines] Grumpy: [before a bank heist] Three of a kind, let's do this. Chuckles: That's it, three guys? Grumpy: Two guys on the roof. Every guy gets a share. Five shares is plenty. Chuckles: Six shares, don't forget the guy who planned the job. Grumpy: He thinks he can sit it out and still take a slice? I know why they call him "The Joker." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: And... here? we... go! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Oh, you. You just couldn't let me go, could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptible, aren't you? Huh? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever. Batman: You'll be in a padded cell forever. The Joker: Maybe we can share one. You know, they'll be doubling up, the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds. Batman: This city just showed you that it's full of people ready to believe in good. The Joker: Until their spirit breaks completely. Until they get a good look at the real Harvey Dent and all the heroic things he's done. You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle for Gotham's soul in a fistfight with you? No. You need an ace in the hole. Mine's Harvey. Batman: What did you do? The Joker: I took Gotham's white knight and I brought him down to our level. It wasn't hard. You see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push! [the Joker laughs hysterically as Batman races off and the cops come to take the Joker into custody] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: [to Harvey Dent] Everyone knows you're Gotham's White Knight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [to Det. Stephens] Do you want to know why I use a knife? Guns are too quick. You can't savor all the... little emotions. In... you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way, I know your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [last lines] James Gordon Jr.: Why's he running, Dad? Lt. James Gordon: Because we have to chase him. James Gordon Jr.: He didn't do anything wrong. Lt. James Gordon: Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [*SPOILER* the Joker pins Batman, in view of the two rigged ferries] The Joker: We really should stop fighting, we'll miss the fireworks! Batman: There aren't going to be any fireworks! The Joker: And here... we... go! [Silence. Nothing happens. Confused, Joker turns to look at the clock, which shows that it's past midnight and neither ferry has blown the other up] Batman: What were you hoping to prove? That, deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone! The Joker: [sighs] Can't rely on anyone these days... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chechen: What are you going to do with all your money? The Joker: See, I'm a man of simple tastes. I like dynamite, and gunpowder... [the Chechen watches, appalled, as Joker's thugs pour gasoline on his mountain of cash] The Joker: And gasoline! Do you know what all of these things have in common? They're cheap! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [repeated line] The Joker: Wanna know how I got these scars? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: Beautiful, isn't it? Lucius Fox: Beautiful. Unethical. DANGEROUS. You've turned every cellphone in Gotham into a microphone. Batman: And a high-frequency generator-receiver. Lucius Fox: You took my sonar concept and applied it to every phone in the city. With half the city feeding you sonar, you can image all of Gotham. This is wrong. Batman: I've gotta find this man, Lucius. Lucius Fox: At what cost? Batman: The database is null-key encrypted. It can only be accessed by one person. Lucius Fox: This is too much power for one person. Batman: That's why I gave it to you. Only you can use it. Lucius Fox: Spying on 30 million people isn't part of my job description. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: I want... my phone call. I want it. I want it! I want my phone call! Detective Stephens: That's nice. The Joker: How many of your friends have I killed? Detective Stephens: I'm a twenty-year man. I can tell the difference between punks who need a little lesson in manners, and the freaks like you who just enjoy it. [pause] Detective Stephens: And you've killed six of my friends. [Joker, pretending amazement, mouths "six?"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [holds camera facing himself] See, this is how crazy Batman's made Gotham! If you want order in Gotham, Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in. Oh, and every day he doesn't, people will die, starting tonight. I'm a man of my word. [laughs] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Dent. Ohh, excuse me, I want to drive! [gets behind the wheel of a semi truck] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chechen: What do you propose? The Joker: It's simple. We, uh, kill the Batman. [mobsters laugh] Salvatore Maroni: If it's so simple, why haven't you done it already? The Joker: If you're good at something, never do it for free. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alfred Pennyworth: I suppose they'll lock me up as well. As your accomplice... Bruce Wayne: Accomplice? I'm going to tell them the whole thing was your idea. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: [after The Joker threatens to blow up a hospital via TV] Do you think I should go to the hospital? Lt. James Gordon: You don't watch a whole lot of news, do you, Mr. Wayne? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two-Face: Tell your son it's going to be okay, Gordon. Lie, like I lied. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [over the PA] Tonight you're all gonna be part of a social experiment. Through the magic of diesel fuel and ammonium nitrate, I'm ready right now to blow you all sky high. Anyone attempts to get off their boat, you all die. Each of you has a remote... to blow up the other boat. At midnight, I blow you all up. If, however, one of you presses the button, I'll let that boat live. So, who's it going to be: Harvey Dent's most wanted scumbag collection, or the sweet and innocent civilians? You choose... oh, and you might want to decide quickly, because the people on the other boat might not be so noble. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Gordon Jr.: Did Batman save you, Daddy? Lt. James Gordon: Actually, this time I saved him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: They'll hunt you. Batman: You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [the Batpod charges] The Joker: Ooohhh. You want to play. Come on! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Maroni: [nervously] Look, take it up with the Joker. He's the one who killed your woman, who made you what you are. Two-Face: The Joker's just a mad dog. I want whoever let him off the leash. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [after Batman saves Rachel from falling out of a window] Batman: You all right? Rachel Dawes: Let's not do that again. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Maroni: Look, if I tell you, will you let me go? Two-Face: Can't hurt your chances. Salvatore Maroni: It was Ramirez. [Two-Face pulls the coin out and cocks his gun] Salvatore Maroni: [panicking] But you said... Two-Face: I said it couldn't hurt your chances. [flips coin; good side] Two-Face: You're a lucky man. [flips again; bad side] Two-Face: He's not. Salvatore Maroni: Who? Two-Face: [buckles seat belt] Your driver. [He shoots the driver in the back; the car goes flying off the road] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: What about getting back into the plane? Lucius Fox: I'd recommend a good travel agent. Bruce Wayne: Without it landing. Lucius Fox: [smiles] Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alfred Pennyworth: Know your limits, Master Wayne. Bruce Wayne: Batman has no limits. Alfred Pennyworth: Well, you do, sir. Bruce Wayne: Well, can't afford to know 'em. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with. Nothing to do with all your strength. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: You don't want to hurt the boy, Harvey. Two-Face: It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: [after running into Harvey and Rachel at a restaurant] So, let's put a couple tables together. Harvey Dent: I'm not sure they'll let us. Bruce Wayne: Oh, they should. I own the place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Natascha: How could you want to raise children in a city like this? Bruce Wayne: Well, I grew up in Gotham, and I turned out all right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Maroni: [Batman holds him out over a ledge] From one professional to another, if you're trying to scare somebody, pick a better spot. From this height, the fall wouldn't kill me. Batman: I'm counting on it. [he drops Maroni off the ledge, breaking his legs] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [to Batman] You didn't think I'd risk the battle for Gotham's soul in a fistfight with you? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Wayne Enterprises accountant Coleman Reese believes that he's discovered Batman's secret identity, and is trying to blackmail Fox] Lucius Fox: Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Batman has just fought off Scarecrow and a group of Batman wannabes] Batman: Don't let me find you out here again. Brian: We're trying to help you! Batman: I don't need help. Dr. Jonathan Crane: Not in my diagnosis! Brian: What gives you the right? What's the difference between you and me? [Batman lowers himself into the Batmobile] Batman: I'm not wearing hockey pads! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [while cross-examining one of Maroni's thugs on the witness stand, the thug pulls a gun and fires it at Harvey Dent; it mis-fires, and Harvey decks the thug with a right cross, and takes the gun away] Harvey Dent: Carbon fiber, .28 Caliber, made in China. [puts it on the table in front of Maroni] Harvey Dent: If you want to kill a public servant, Mr. Maroni, I recommend you buy American. Judge Freel: [to policemen holding the thug] Get him out of here! Harvey Dent: But, Your Honor, I'm not done. [cheers from the gallery] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maroni's Mistress: Can't we go someplace quieter? We can't hear each other talk. Salvatore Maroni: What makes you think I want to hear you talk? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gambol: You're crazy. The Joker: I'm not. No, I'm not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: Then why do you want to kill me? The Joker: [laughs] I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, NO! No. You... you... complete me. Batman: You're garbage who kills for money. The Joker: Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve. Batman: Where's Dent? The Joker: You have all these rules, and you think they'll save you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: People are dying, Alfred. What would you have me do? Alfred Pennyworth: Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice. Bruce Wayne: Well today I found out what Batman can't do. He can't endure this. Today you get to say "I told you so." Alfred Pennyworth: Today, I don't want to. [pauses for several moments] Alfred Pennyworth: But I did bloody tell you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: If we don't deal with this now, soon little, uh, Gambol here won't be able to get a nickel for his grandma. Gambol: [explodes] Enough from the clown! [He rises to his feet; Joker does too, opening his coat to reveal a cluster of grenades, attached to a string around his thumb] The Joker: Ah-ta-ta-ta! Let's not blow this out of proportion. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gambol: You think you can steal from us and just walk away? The Joker: Yeah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: That was a very brave thing you did. Bruce Wayne: Trying to catch the light? Lt. James Gordon: So you weren't protecting the van? Bruce Wayne: [pretending to be oblivious] Why? Who's in it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reese: They're trying to kill me! Lt. James Gordon: Well, maybe Batman will save you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chechen: [after bringing out a man under the influence of fear toxin] Look at what your drugs did to my customers. Scarecrow: Buyer beware. I told you my compound would take you places. I never said they'd be places you wanted to go. The Chechen: My business... repeat customers... Scarecrow: If you don't like what I have to offer, you can buy from someone else. Assuming Batman left anyone to buy from. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two-Face: You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time. But you were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. [holds up his coin] Two-Face: Unbiased. Unprejudiced. Fair. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucius Fox: It emits a high-frequency pulse for mapping an environment and records a response time. Bruce Wayne: Sonar. Just like a... Lucius Fox: Like a submarine, Mr. Wayne. Like a submarine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: [about the Joker] Where is he? Salvatore Maroni: Nobody knows, he came to us! Batman: He must have friends! Salvatore Maroni: [incredulous] Friends? Have you met this guy? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [Batman slams The Joker?s head on a table] Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Those mob fools want you gone so they can get back to the way things were. But I know the truth: there's no going back. You've changed things... forever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: Where is Dent? The Joker: You have all these rules and you think they'll save you. Lt. James Gordon: [Batman slams the Joker against a wall] He's in control. Batman: I have one rule. The Joker: Then that's the rule you'll have to break to know the truth. Batman: Which is? The Joker: The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight you're gonna break your one rule. Batman: I'm considering it. The Joker: No, there's only minutes left, so you're gonna have to play my little game if you want to save one of them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb: [regarding The Joker's threat on his life] You're unlikely to discover this for yourself, so take my word, the police commissioner gets a lot of threats. I found the appropriate response to these situations a long time ago. [pulls out a bottle of whiskey and glass] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: [to The Joker] We got you, you son of a bitch! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: I had a vision, of a world without Batman. The mob ground out a little profit and the police tried to shut them down, one block at a time. And it was so... boring. I've had a change of heart. I don't want Mr. Reese spoiling everything, but why should I have all the fun? Let's give someone else a chance. If Coleman Reese isn't dead in sixty minutes then I blow up a hospital. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Are you the real Batman? Brian: No. The Joker: No? Then why do you dress like him? Brian: He's a symbol... that we don't have to be afraid of scum like you. The Joker: Yeah, you do, Brian. You really do! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: We made it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city. The Chechen: They won't work for a freak... The Joker: [mocking his accent] A freak... [pulls out his switchblade and tosses it to some goons, who grab the Chechen] The Joker: Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches? Hmm? And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog really is. It's not about money... it's about sending a message. Everything burns! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: Harvey Dent never made it home. The Joker: Of course not. Lt. James Gordon: What have you done with him? The Joker: Me? I was right here. [holds up his arms in handcuffs] The Joker: Who did you leave him with? Your people? Assuming, of course, they are still your people, and not Maroni's. Does it depress you, commissioner? To know just how alone you really are? Does it make you feel responsible for Harvey Dent's current predicament? Lt. James Gordon: Where is he? The Joker: What's the time? Lt. James Gordon: What difference does that make? The Joker: Well, depending on the time, he may in one spot, or several. Lt. James Gordon: If we're gonna play games... [takes off Joker's handcuffs] Lt. James Gordon: I'm gonna need a cup of coffee. The Joker: Ah, the good cop, bad cop routine? Lt. James Gordon: Not exactly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [During a bank heist, the Joker has tricked all his men into killing each other, one after the other. One of the last ones, getting wise, points his gun at another thug, who still has his mask on] Grumpy: I'm betting The Joker told you to kill me soon as we loaded the cash. Bozo: No. No, no, no. I kill the bus driver. Grumpy: [confused] Bus driver? What bus dri-? [a school bus drives through the wall and kills Grumpy] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: Dent is in there with them! We have to save Dent! I have to save Dent! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [to the mob after performing his "magic trick"] Oh, and by the way, the suit, it wasn't cheap. You oughta know, you bought it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: [speaking to Harvey Dent] If I didn't work with cops you investigated while you were making your name at I.A. I'd be working alone. I don't get political points for being an idealist, I have to do the best I can with what I have. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: I need a new suit. Lucius Fox: Yeah, three buttons is a little '90's, Mr. Wayne. Bruce Wayne: I'm not talking fashion, Mr. Fox, so much as function. [hands him a diagram] Lucius Fox: You want to be able to turn your head. Bruce Wayne: Sure would make backing out of the driveway easier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chechen: Who's stupid enough to steal from us? Salvatore Maroni: Some two-bit whack-job. Wears a cheap purple suit and make-up. He's not the problem. He's a nobody. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: How will it hold up against dogs? Lucius Fox: We talking Rottweilers or Chihuahuas? Should do fine against cats. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Maroni: I thought the D.A. just played golf with the mayor, things like that? Harvey Dent: Tee off's one-thirty, more than enough time to put you away for life, Sally. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: It's a shame Sal's going to walk. Harvey Dent: Yeah, well, the good thing about the mob is they keep giving you second chances. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: You look tired, Alfred. You'll be all right without me? Alfred Pennyworth: [looking at all the sunbathing women] You can tell me the Russian for, "apply your own bloody suntan lotion." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gambol: [to The Joker] Give me one reason why I shouldn't have my boy here pull your head off. The Joker: How about a magic trick? [pulls out a pencil and sticks it upright into the table] The Joker: I'm gonna make this pencil disappear. [Gambol's thug walks over to kill The Joker, who slams his face into the pencil and kills him] The Joker: Ta-daa! It's... it's gone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [*SPOILER* The Joker has rigged two ferries to explode, one filled with prison inmates, one with ordinary people, giving each ferry one detonator and telling them they have to blow up the other, or he'll blow up both. A prisoner approaches the warden, who's holding the detonator] Tattooed Prisoner: You don't want to die, but you don't know how to take a life. Give it to me; these men would kill you, and take it anyway. Give it to me. You can tell 'em I took it by force. Give it to me, and I'll do what you shoulda did ten minutes ago. [Scared, the warden hands over the detonator. The prisoner looks at it, then throws it out the window] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Det. Ramirez: [regarding CCTV photos of The Joker's bank heist] He can't resist showing us his face. Lt. James Gordon: What's he hiding under that make-up? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detective Murphy: Look at these ugly bastards. Fat Thug: I don't feel good. Detective Murphy: You're a cop killer. You're lucky to be feeling anything below the neck. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salvatore Maroni: [to Batman who is interrogating him about The Joker] No one's gonna tell you anything. They're wise to your act. You got rules. The Joker, he's got no rules. No one's gonna cross him for you. You want this guy, you got one way. And you already know what that is. Just take off that mask and let him come find you. Or do you want to let a couple more people get killed while you make your mind? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: What happened to Rachel wasn't chance. We decided to act! We three! Two-Face: Then why was it me who was the only one who lost everything? Batman: It wasn't. Two-Face: The Joker chose ME! Batman: Because you were the best of us! He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall. Two-Face: [bitter] And he was right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Gordon and the police arrive to arrest Maroni] Salvatore Maroni: You sure you wanna embarrass me in front of my friends, Lieutenant? Lt. James Gordon: Oh, don't worry. They're coming too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [speaking to Batman] I wanted to see what you'd do. And you didn't disappoint... You let five people die. Then, you let Dent take your place. Even to a guy like me, that's cold... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: You can not leave me alone with these people. Rachel Dawes: The whole mob's after you, and you're worried about these guys? Harvey Dent: Yea, well, compared to these guys, the mob doesn't scare me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce Wayne: The bandit, in the forest in Burma, did you catch him? Alfred Pennyworth: Yes. Bruce Wayne: How? Alfred Pennyworth: We burned the forest down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Engel: [kidnapped by the Joker, Engel is reading a prepared statement] "I'm Mike Engel for Gotham Tonight. What does it take to make you people join in? You failed to kill the lawyer. I've got to get you off the bench..." The Joker: Bench... Mike Engel: "And into the game." The Joker: ...game. Mike Engel: "Come nightfall, this city is mine..." The Joker: Mine... Mike Engel: "... and anyone left here plays by my rules." The Joker: ...rules. Mike Engel: "If you don't want to be in the game... get out now. The Joker: ...get out now Mike Engel: But the bridge and tunnel crowd are sure in for a surprise. Ha ha ha ha." [Joker laughs] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rachel Dawes: [letter to Bruce] Dear Bruce; I need to explain. I need to be honest and clear. I'm going to marry Harvey Dent. I love him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. When I told you that if Gotham no longer needed Batman we could be together, I meant it. But I'm not sure the day will come when you will no longer need Batman. I hope it does and if it does I will be there, but only as your friend. I'm sorry to let you down. If you lose your faith in me, please keep your faith in people. Love, now and always, - Rachel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I can do those things because I'm not a hero, like Dent. I killed those people. That's what I can be Lt. James Gordon: No, you can't! You're not! Batman: I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: Remember that name you all had for me when I was at Internal Affairs? What was it, Gordon? Lt. James Gordon: Harvey, I... Harvey Dent: Say it. Say it! Lt. James Gordon: Two-Face. Harvey Two-Face. [Harvey turns his head, revealing the scarred side of his face] Harvey Dent: Why should I hide who I am? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gambol: You think you could just steal from us, and walk away? The Joker: Yeah... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: You and your kind, all you care about is money. This city deserves a better class of criminal. And I'm gonna give it to them! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [during the bank heist] Happy: Here comes the silent alarm... [disables it] Happy: And there it goes. That's funny, it didn't dial out to 9-1-1. It was trying to reach a private number. Dopey: Is it a problem? Happy: Nah, I'm done here. [Dopey shoots him] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [during the bank heist, Bozo subdues the terrified customers and employees by putting grenades in their hands and pulling the pins] Grumpy: Obviously, we don't want you doing anything with your hands except hanging on for dear life! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [During the bank heist, the bank manager produces a shotgun and starts blasting away. Bozo and Grumpy dive for cover] Gotham National Bank Manager: Do you have any idea who you're stealing from? You and your friends are dead! Grumpy: He's out, right? [Bozo thinks a moment, then nods. Grumpy stands and takes aim, only to take the manager's last round in his shoulder, allowing Bozo to shoot the manager in the leg] Grumpy: Where did you learn to count? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [examining one of the gauntlets for his new and improved Batsuit, Bruce presses a button, and the spikes are launched across the room, narrowly missing Fox before they bury themselves in the wall] Lucius Fox: Maybe you want to read the instruction manual first. Bruce Wayne: [sheepish] Sorry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [the Bat-Signal appears in the sky] The Chechen: This is why we bring dogs! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [watching news of Lau's capture on the television] The Chechen: With word out, we hire the clown. [the other mobsters look doubtful] The Chechen: He was right. We have to fix real problem: Batman. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: [about Lau] If I get him to you, can you get him to talk? Harvey Dent: I'll get him to sing. Lt. James Gordon: We're going after the mob's life savings. Things will get ugly. Harvey Dent: I knew the risks when I took this job, Lieutenant. [turns back to Batman] Harvey Dent: How will you get him back? Any-? [Batman has disappeared] Lt. James Gordon: He does that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: [to Joker] Let her go! The Joker: [holding Rachel out of a window] Very poor choice of words... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [to Gambol's thugs, being held helpless by his own] Now, our operation is small, but there's a lot of potential for "aggressive" expansion. So, which one of you fine gentlemen would like to join our team? Oh, there's only one spot open right now, so we're gonna have... [breaks pool cue over knee] The Joker: Tryouts. [throws broken pool cue at the thugs] The Joker: Make it fast. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Batman slams The Joker's head on a table] The Joker: Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy. [Batman slams a fist down on Joker's hand] The Joker: [pretends not to feel it] See? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: Well, I guess no answer is a no. Rachel Dawes: Harvey... Harvey Dent: It's someone else, isn't it? Rachel Dawes: Harvey... Harvey Dent: Just tell me it's not Wayne, the guy's a complete... [Bruce comes up behind him and grabs him in a chokehold] Rachel Dawes: What are you doing? Bruce Wayne: [as Harvey falls unconscious] They're coming for him! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two-Face: It was your men, your plan! The Joker: Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just... do things. The mob has plans, the cops have plans, Gordon's got plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So, when I say... Ah, come here. [takes Dent's hand into his own] The Joker: When I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you know that I'm telling the truth. It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and look where that got you. [Dent tries to grab the Joker] The Joker: I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds! [Joker hands Two-Face a gun and points it at himself] The Joker: Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair! [still holding the gun, Two-Face pauses and takes out his coin] Two-Face: [showing the unscarred side] You live. The Joker: Mm-hmm. Two-Face: [flips, showing the scarred side] You die. The Joker: Mmm, now we're talking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [to the Chechen] Tell your men they work for me now. This is my city. The Chechen: They won't work... for a FREAK! The Joker: [pulls out a knife] Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to your pooches, hmm? And then we'll see how loyal a hungry dog REALLY is! The Joker: [half to himself] Its not about money... its about sending a message. The Joker: [dialing on a cell phone while a mountain of money burns behind him] Everything burns! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Let's put a smile on that face! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [as the Batman wanna-be's attack the drug deal] Scarecrow: That's not him. [Mayhem ensues, with lots of gunfire] The Chechen: Loose the dogs! [after more fighting, the Batmobile crashes into the garage] Scarecrow: That's more like it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [after crashing the bus into the bank and running over Grumpy] Bus Driver: School's out, time to go! [laughs] Bus Driver: Cat's not getting up, is he? [He and Bozo load the duffels into the bus] Bus Driver: That's a lot of money. [pause] Bus Driver: What happened to the rest of the guys? [Bozo casually shoots the bus driver dead, then picks up the last duffel and throws it into the bus] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lt. James Gordon: Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough. [Alfred burns the envelope from Rachel] Lt. James Gordon: Sometimes, people deserve more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy: [after cracking open the bank's safe] They wired this thing up with, like, 5,000 volts. What kind of bank does that? Grumpy: A mob bank. I guess the Joker is as crazy as they say. Where's the alarm guy? Happy: Boss told me, when the guy was done, I should take him out. One less share, right? Grumpy: Funny, he told me something similar. Happy: What...? [turns] Happy: No, no, no-! [Grumpy shoots him] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alfred Pennyworth: [looks at the large gash on Bruce's arm] Did you get mauled by a tiger? Bruce Wayne: [quietly] It was a dog. Alfred Pennyworth: Huh? Bruce Wayne: It was a big dog! [pause] Bruce Wayne: More copycats last night, Alfred, with guns. Alfred Pennyworth: Why don't you hire them and take the weekend off? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: All right. So, listen. Why don't you give me a call when you want to start taking things a little more seriously? Here's my card. [He holds up a Joker card and places it on the table] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: Let's wind the clocks back a year. These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean, what happened? Did, did your balls drop off? Hm? You see, a guy like me... Gambol: Freak! [mobsters laugh] The Joker: [ignoring] A guy like me... Look, listen. I know why you choose to have your little... [clears throat] The Joker: ...group therapy sessions in broad daylight. I know why you're afraid to go out at night... The Batman. See, Batman has shown Gotham your true colors, unfortunately. Dent? He's just the beginning. [indicates Lau on the video phone] The Joker: And as for the television's so-called "plan?" Batman has no "jurisdiction." He'll find him and make him squeal! I know the squealers when I see them, and... [He indicates Lau again, who hurriedly turns off the picture] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alfred Pennyworth: Will you be wanting the Batpod, sir? Bruce Wayne: In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle. Alfred Pennyworth: The Lamborghini, then. [with deadpan sarcasm] Alfred Pennyworth: Much more subtle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: If you're good at something never do it for free. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucius Fox: No, I really came to tell you that our business deal has to be put on hold. You see, we can't afford to be seen to do business with whatever it is you're accused of being. I'm sure a businessman of your stature will understand. Lau: I think, Mr. Fox, a simple phone call might have sufficed. Lucius Fox: Mr. Wayne didn't want you to think that he was deliberately wasting your time. Lau: Just accidentally wasting it. Lucius Fox: That's very good, Mr. Lau. Accidentally. Very good. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cop Heckler: No more dead cops! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shotgun SWAT: That's not good! [Police helicopter crashes into the road] Shotgun SWAT: Okay, that's not good! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two-Face: You thought we could be decent men, in an indecent time! You were wrong. The world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance. Unbiased, unprejudiced... fair. His son's got the same chance she had, 50/50. Batman: What happened to Rachel wasn't chance, we decided to act. We three. Two-Face: Then why was it me who lost everything? Batman: It wasn't... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two-Face: Did she believe you? Det. Ramirez: Yes. Two-Face: Of course she did. Because she trusts you. Just like Rachel trusted you. Det. Ramirez: I didn't know... Two-Face: What they were going to do to me? You're the second cop to say that to me tonight. What, exactly, did you think they were going to do to me? Det. Ramirez: They got me early. My mother's hospital bills... Two-Face: Don't! [He flips his coin] Det. Ramirez: [crying] I'm sorry... [the coin lands good side up] Two-Face: Live to fight another day, Detective. [he punches her unconscious] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Natascha: But this is a democracy Harvey... Harvey Dent: When their enemies were at the gates, the Romans would suspend democracy and appoint one man to protect the city. It wasn't considered an honor, it was considered a public service. Rachel Dawes: Harvey, the last man who they appointed the Republic was named Caesar and he never gave up his power. Harvey Dent: Okay, fine. you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [holding a knife inside Gambol's mouth] Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was... a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not-one-bit. So - me watching - he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it! Turns to me, and he says, "why so serious, son?" Comes at me with the knife... "Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth... "Let's put a smile on that face!" And... [looks sidelong at Gambol's thug, watching the whole thing in horror] The Joker: Why so serious? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [the Batpod emerges from an alleyway] The Joker: Now there's a Batman! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: Sometimes the truth isn't good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Gordon meets his wife after he faked his death] Lt. James Gordon: I'm, sorry, dear, but i couldn't risk anybody finding out for the sake of your life and... [Gordon's wife slaps him and embraces him] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [the Joker has kidnapped Rachel and Dent] The Joker: You know, I really thought you were Dent, the way you went to save her... [Batman loses control and goes to work on the Joker] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Rachel discovers Dent's coin is two-faced] Rachel Dawes: [smiling sardonically] You make your own luck... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harvey Dent: Lightly irradiated bills. Fancy stuff for a city cop. Have help? Lt. James Gordon: We liase with various agencies. Harvey Dent: Save it, Gordon. I want to meet him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Loeb causally has a sip while Gordon worries about him] Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb: Come on, Jim! Where would they get my DNA anyway? Lt. James Gordon: Well, they can get it from any surface: a paper, a door, or your glasses... Don't drink that! [Too late: Loeb starts choking... ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Batman: Because sometimes the truth isn't good enough. [insert cut: Alfred burns the envelope from Rachel] Batman: Sometimes, people deserve more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detective Wuertz: Listen, Dent, I swear to God I didn't know what they were gonna do to you. Two-Face: That's funny... [pulls out coin] Two-Face: 'Cause I don't know what's gonna happen to you either. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two-Face: The joker chose me! Batman: Because you were the best of us. He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall. Two-Face: And he was right. Batman: You're the one pointing the gun, Harvey. So point it at the people responsible. Two-Face: Fair enough. [to Batman] Two-Face: You first. [Flips the coin] Two-Face: [Shoots Batman and points the gun at himself] Two-Face: My turn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [the Joker interrupts a meeting between Lau and Gotham's criminals] Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh hee hee ha ah ooh hee ha ha. And I thought my jokes were bad. Gambol: Give me one reason why I shouldn't have my boy here pull your head off. The Joker: How about a magic trick? [pulls out a pencil] The Joker: I'm gonna make this pencil disappear. [slams Gambol's thug's head into pencil] The Joker: Ta-da! It's... it's gone. Oh and about the suit. It wasn't cheap. You oughta know: you bought it. [Gambol gets up in anger] The Chechen: Sit. I want to hear proposition. The Joker: Let's wind the clocks back a year. These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean what happened? Did... did your balls drop off? Hmm? You see a guy like me... Gambol: [interrupts] A freak. The Joker: A guy... like me... Look, listen. I know why you choose to have your little group therapy sessions here in broad daylight. I know why you're afraid to go out at night; the Batman. You see, Batman has shown Gotham your true colors unfortunately. Dent, he's just the beginning. And, and as for the television's so-called plan? Batman has no jurisdiction. He'll find him, and make him squeal. I know the squealers when I see them and... [points at Lau] The Chechen: What do you propose? The Joker: It's simple: We, uh, kill the Batman. [everyone laughs] Salvatore Maroni: If it's so simple, why haven't you done it already? The Joker: If you're good at something, never do it for free. The Chechen: How much you want? The Joker: Uh... half. [everyone laughs again] Gambol: You're crazy. The Joker: I'm not. No, I'm not. If we don't deal with this now, soon little uh, Gambol here won't be able to get a nickel for his grandma. Gambol: Enough from the clown! The Joker: [reveals the inside of his jacket, which has five hand grenades with the pins attached to a thread tied to the Joker's finger] Ah-ta-ta-ta-ta! Let's not "blow" this out of proportion. Gambol: You think you can steal from us and just walk away? The Joker: Yeah. Gambol: I'm puttin' the word out: 500 hundred grand for this clown dead. A million alive so I can teach him some manners first. The Joker: Alright, so listen. Why don't you give me a call when you want to start taking things a little more seriously? Here's my card. [leaves joker card on the table and walks away] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lucius Fox: [On the plan to capture Lau] Now I must say compared to your usual requests, jumping out of an airplane is pretty straightforward. Bruce Wayne: And what about getting back into the plane? Lucius Fox: I'd recommend a good travel agent. Bruce Wayne: Without it landing. Lucius Fox: Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne. The CIA had a program back in the 60s for getting their people out of hotspots called Skyhook. We could look into that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Joker: [the Joker has Brain Douglas captured and is recording him] Tell them your name. Brian: Brian... Douglas. The Joker: Are you the real Batman? Brian: No. The Joker: No? Brian: No. The Joker: No? Then why do you dress up like him? [grabs Brian's mask and dangles it in front of the camera] The Joker: whooo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Brian: Because he's a symbol that we don't have to be afraid of scum like you. The Joker: Oh you do, Brian. You really do. Yeah. Oh shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. So, you think Batman's made Gotham a better place? Hmm? Look at me. LOOK AT ME! [turns camera to himself] The Joker: You see? This is how crazy Batman's made Gotham! You want order in Gotham? Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in. Oh, and every day he doesn't, people will die. Starting tonight. I'm a man of my word. [laughs]
5	Atonement (2007, R) This movie is more than I expected it to be... WAY MORE! This movie is an amazing recreation of a real event. The music is funny and a little annoying. I was surprised at the way the typewriter clicks was made the impact of the movie so much greater. The clicks were like a sign that the writing was such a big part-- the writing was was ruined three peoples life and they're trying to portray the importance of typewriters and writing was to Briony, Cecilla (Kiera Knightly), and Robbie (James McAvory) in the moive. I love all the acting and all the sets, directing, cinamatography, costumes, makeup, and screenwriting. I'll start with the acting. The best acting in this movie is Kiera Knightly, James McAvory, and all the actresses who played Briony. Kiera Knightly is such an amazing actresses and always has been. She will continue to amaze audiences everywhere. She is a gorgeous woman who can portray even the most intracite emotions with just her eyes or even a twitch of the lips. She has such an beautiful arry of emotions and she can make even the most pitiful or depressed characters light the room with a smile. James McAvory is handsome and good looking. (i'm sorry I had to say that before I could continue with the description of his acting). He was a wonderous leading man in this movie. He carried himself and the audiences emotions with poise and perfection. His face and body could portray the most challenging and real emotions with a move or a change of step. He could change from happy and in love to scared and dieing with a sutle elagence that you could see but couldn't fathom. He had two woman loving him the entire movie but he could show amazing affection for one and friendship turned to pure hatred for the other. The actresses that played Briony Tallis were all stunning actresses. The actress who played Briony at age 13 was my favorite. She was so spunky and spontanious but she was always aware and watching. She was writing and envisioning, and was imagining but that was her major downfall. And you could see with her eyes and face and movements that she was afraid and interested, and mad, and loving, also she was controlling, and emotional but it was always there and tangible. The 77 year old had a small apperance but a very believbable place in the movie. The 18 year old is my least favorite out of the three but she's still one of the better characters. She was a nurse, sister and writer but always seperate emotions for each role in life she played. The nurse had pity and boundries that she couldn't handle, the sister was so sorry that words couldn't describe it... and she wouldn't be forgiven. She was a empty shell as that part of the 18 year old Briony. But the writer was imaginiatve and creative but couldn't spurt out what she wanted to have on the page. Now onto Directing Cinamatography and Screenwriting. First of all the direction was marvelous and extremly excellent. The Screen Writing took the original book and made it one hundred percent onto the screen. It was an amazing transformation into dialoge and actions. The Cinamatogrphy was just WOW! I can't believe how amazing the cinamatogrpahy was. The scenes and sets were amazing. I can't explain the writing, cinamatography, and directing anymore than amazing and WOW! The costumes and makeup were so realistic and flattering to the characters. The outfits were perfect for the scenes and lines and characters and emotions. All of the makeup was so perfect it reflected what was inside so that the emotions that the characters had in their thoughts and strewn daintily and lightly on their faces was outwordly portrayed by the makeup and costumes. The style was fitting for the century and time. It was a magical and time changing movie. I wish along with many that this got the Acadamy Award instead of the other. But at least it won the Golden Globe. advertisementCecilia Tallis: I love you. I'll wait for you. Come back. Come back to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: [voiceover] Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. The one I had been planning on that evening walk. I can become again the man who once crossed the surrey park at dusk, in my best suit, swaggering on the promise of life. The man who, with the clarity of passion, made love to you in the library. The story can resume. I will return. Find you, love you, marry you and live without shame. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony - 18 years old: I am very, very sorry for the terrible distress that I have caused you. I am very, very sorry... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Robbie has just broken a vase belonging to Cecilia's family] Cecilia Tallis: You idiot... You realize that's probably the most valuable thing we own? Robbie Turner: Not anymore it isn't. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: [crying] I don't know how I could've been so ignorant about myself... so... so stupid. And you know what I'm talking about, don't you? You knew before I did. Robbie Turner: Why're you crying? Cecilia Tallis: Don't you know? Robbie Turner: Yes, I know exactly. [kisses her] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony Tallis, aged 13: Lola, can I tell you something? Something really terrible? Lola Quincey: Yes please. Briony Tallis, aged 13: What's the worst word you can possibly imagine? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Marshall: Bite it... You've got to bite it... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony Tallis, aged 13: Cee? Cecilia Tallis: Yes? Briony Tallis, aged 13: Why don't you talk to Robbie anymore? Cecilia Tallis: I do. We just move in different circles, that's all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: [about Robbie] No need to encourage him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leon Tallis: Guess who we met on the way in. Cecilia Tallis: Robbie. Leon Tallis: Told him to join us tonight. Cecilia Tallis: Oh, Leon, you didn't! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: [about the letter he sent her] It was a mistake. Cecilia Tallis: Briony read it. Robbie Turner: I'm so sorry, it was the wrong version. Cecilia Tallis: Yes. Robbie Turner: It was never meant to be read. Cecilia Tallis: No. [walks away, Robbie follows her] Cecilia Tallis: What was in the version I was meant to read? Robbie Turner: Don't know... it was more formal, and less... Cecilia Tallis: Anatomical? Robbie Turner: Yes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leon Tallis: What do you say, Cee? Does the hot weather make you behave badly? Good heavens, you're blushing. Cecilia Tallis: Just hot in here, that's all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: My brother and I found the two of them down by the lake. Police Inspector: You didn't see anyone else? Cecilia Tallis: I wouldn't necessarily believe everything Briony tells you. She's rather fanciful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: [in a letter] My darling, Briony found my address somehow and sent a letter. The first surprise was she didn't go up to Cambridge. She's doing nurses' training at my old hospital. I think she may be doing this as some kind of penance. She says she's beginning to get the full grasp of what she did and what it meant. She wants to come and talk to me. I love you. I'll wait for you. Come back. Come back to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony - 18 years old: I want to go in front of a judge and change my evidence, Cee. Cecilia Tallis: Don't call me that! [pause] Cecilia Tallis: Please don't call me that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: Come back. Come back to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: Have you been in touch with your family? Cecilia Tallis: No I told you I wouldn't. Leon waited outside the hospital last week. I just pushed past him. Robbie Turner: Cee, you don't owe me anything. Cecilia Tallis: Robbie didn't you read my letters? "Had I been allowed to visit you? Had they let me, every day, I would have been there every day. Robbie Turner: Yes but, if all we have rests on a few moments in a library three and a half years ago then I am not sure, I don't know... Cecilia Tallis: Robbie, look at me, come back, come back to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony Tallis, aged 13: How can you hate plays? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sister Drummond: Now go and wash the blood off your face. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony - 18 years old: There is no Briony. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: Robbie... Robbie Turner: Cecilia... Cecilia Tallis: I love you... Robbie Turner: I love you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: ...if all we have rests in a few moments in a library three and a half years ago, then I don't know... I don't... Cecilia Tallis: Robbie... look at me. Look at me. Come back. Come back to me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tommy Nettle: Never trust a sailor on dry land. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [last lines] Older Briony: So, my sister and Robbie were never able to have the time together they both so longed for... and deserved. Which ever since I've... ever since I've always felt I prevented. But what sense of hope or satisfaction could a reader derive from an ending like that? So in the book, I wanted to give Robbie and Cecilia what they lost out on in life. I'd like to think this isn't weakness or... evasion... but a final act of kindness. I gave them their happiness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: There isn't much time. Robbie has to report for duty at six and he's got a train to catch. So sit down. There are some things you're going to do for us. [Briony and Cecilia sit in the kitchen. Robbie leans on the table, looming over them] Robbie Turner: You'll go to your parents as soon as you can and tell them everything they need to know to be convinced that your evidence was false. You'll go and see a solicitor and make a statement and have it signed and witnessed and send copies to us. Is that clear? Cecilia Tallis: Yes. Robbie Turner: Then you'll write a detailed letter to me, explaining everything that led up to you saying you saw me by the lake. Cecilia Tallis: Try and include whatever you can remember of what Danny Hardman was doing that night. Briony - 18 years old: Hardman? Robbie Turner: Yes! Briony - 18 years old: It wasn't Danny Hardman. It was Leon's friend, Marshall. [Cecilia and Robbie look at her, astonished] Cecilia Tallis: I don't believe you. Briony - 18 years old: He's married Lola; I've just come from their wedding. [Silence. Finally, Robbie exhales the breath he's been holding, Cecilia looks across at him] Cecilia Tallis: Lola won't be able to testify against him now. He's immune. [Robbie straightens up and turns away, grappling with a riot of emotions; silence; finally, Briony stands up and speaks, very formal] Briony - 18 years old: I'm very, very sorry for the terrible distress that I have caused. I'm very, very sorry. Robbie Turner: Just do as I have asked of you. Write it all down. Just the truth. No rhymes, no embellishments, no adjectives. And then leave us be. Briony - 18 years old: I will. I promise. [she leaves abruptly, her eyes brimming with tears] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tommy Nettle: No one speaks the fucking lingo out here. You can't say 'pass the biscuit' or 'where's me hand grenade?', they just shrug. Cause they hate us too. I mean, that's the point. We fight in France and the French fucking hate us. Make me Home Secretary and I'll sort this out in a fucking minute. We got India and Africa, right? Jerry can have France and Belgium and whatever else they want. Who's fucking ever been to Poland? It's all about room, Empire. They want more empire, give 'em this shithole, we keep ours and it's Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your fucking aunt! Think about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: [to Robbie] My darling, Briony found my address somehow and sent a letter. The first surprise was she didn't go up to Cambridge. She's doing nurse's training at my old hospital. I think she may be doing this as some kind of penance. She says she's beginning to get the full grasp of what she did and what it meant. She wants to come and talk to me. [she kisses the letter and posts it] Cecilia Tallis: I love you. I'll wait for you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: Come on, pal. You should be getting dressed. Briony Tallis, aged 13: If I fell in the river, would you save me? Robbie Turner: Of course. [Briony jumps into the water and Robbie dives after her; eventually, he pulls her out of the water and drops her near the bank] Briony Tallis, aged 13: Thank you, thank you, thank you... Robbie Turner: That was an incredibly bloody stupid thing to do. Briony Tallis, aged 13: I wanted you to save me. Robbie Turner: Don't you know how easily you could have drowned? Briony Tallis, aged 13: You saved me. Robbie Turner: You stupid child! You could have killed us both! Is that your idea of a joke? [she looks at him for a moment, shocked by his tone, but defiant nonetheless] Briony Tallis, aged 13: I want to thank you for saving my life. I'll be eternally grateful to you. [he strides away angrily, into the woods, leaving Briony disconsolate amidst the cow parsley] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony - 18 years old: Dear Cecilia, Please don't throw this away without reading it. As you'll have seen from the notepaper, I'm here at St. Thomas's, doing my nurses' training. I decided not to take up my place at Cambridge. I decided I wanted to make myself useful, do something practical. But no matter how hard I work, no matter how long the hours, I can't escape from what I did and what it meant, the full extent of which I'm only now beginning to grasp. Cee, please write and tell me we can meet. Your sister, Briony. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tommy Nettle: Cheerio, pal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [first lines] Briony Tallis, aged 13: I finished my play. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony Tallis, aged 13: The princess was well aware of his remorseless wickedness. But that made it no easier to overcome the voluminous love she felt in her heart for Sir Romulus. The princess knew instinctively that the one with red hair was not to be trusted. As his young ward dived again and again into the depths of the lake, in search of the enchanted chalice, Sir Romulus twirled his luxuriant mustache. Sir Romulus rode with his two companions, northwards, drawing ever closer to an effulgent sea. So heroic in manner, he appeared so valiant in word... And no could ever guess at the darkness lurking in the black heart of Sir Romulus Turnbull. He was the most dangerous man in the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fiona Maguire: It says in the newspaper the army are making "strategic withdrawals." Briony - 18 years old: Yes, I saw that. It's a euphemism for "retreat." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: [glares at Briony] What is she doing here? Cecilia Tallis: She came to speak to me. Robbie Turner: Oh, yes? What about? Briony - 18 years old: The terrible thing I did. [Robbie moves around the room, putting his hands in his pockets and taking them out again, still glaring at Briony] Robbie Turner: I'll be quite honest with you. I'm torn between breaking your neck here and throwing you down the stairs. [Briony trembles as she tries to stand her ground] Robbie Turner: Have you any idea what it's like in jail? Course you don't. Tell me, did it give you pleasure to think of me inside? Briony - 18 years old: No. Robbie Turner: But you did nothing about it. Briony - 18 years old: No. Robbie Turner: Do you think I assaulted your cousin? Briony - 18 years old: No. Robbie Turner: Did you think it then? Briony - 18 years old: Yes, yes and no. I wasn't certain. Robbie Turner: And what's made you so certain now? Briony - 18 years old: Growing up. Robbie Turner: Growing up? Briony - 18 years old: I was thirteen. Robbie Turner: How old do you have to be before you know the difference between right and wrong? Do you have to be eighteen? Do you have to be eighteen before you can bring yourself to own up to a lie? There are soldiers of eighteen old enough to be left to die on the side of the road! Did you know that? Briony - 18 years old: Yes. Robbie Turner: Five years ago you didn't care about telling the truth. You and all your family, you just assumed that for all my education, I was still little better than a servant, still not to be trusted. Thanks to you, they were able to close ranks and throw me to the fucking wolves! [Robbie appears as though he is about to push Briony out the window that she is backing up to, but Cecilia intervenes] Cecilia Tallis: Robbie! Robbie, don't! Please! Look at me, Robbie! Look at me! Come back! Come back to me! [Cecilia kisses Robbie gently and lingeringly on the lips while Briony looks away] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony Tallis, aged 13: Yes. I saw him. I saw him with my own eyes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robbie Turner: I won't say a word. Robbie Turner: Wake me before 7:00, would you? Thanks so much. Robbie Turner: You won't hear another word from me. Promise. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecilia Tallis: [Referring to Paul Marshall] I suppose he's what you might call "eligible." Leon Tallis: Rather. Cecilia Tallis: He certainly seems to think he's the cat's pajamas. Which is odd, considering he has pubic hair growing out of his ears. I should imagine he'd give you a lot of very noisy, boneheaded sons. Leon Tallis: He's quite a good egg, actually. Cecilia Tallis: You say that about everyone.
6	Pineapple Express (2008, R) This is one of those movies that if you think it looks stupid your going to feel like a total loser when you watch it. This has to be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen! And watching it made me almost pee my pants. The comedy is absolutly hilarious but it holds some dignity too. Seth Rogen is so perfect! His character and his acting is realistic, magnificant, funny, messed up, and rauncy. His character is a lazy stoner who does barely anything and likes messing with people for fun, and to top it off he's dating a girl whose still in highschool because he's so immature. Rogen made this character funnier than it was and made every joke spontaneously realistic. His chemistry with James Franco was great, (chemistry as in friendship wise) and his friction with the others is amazing. You can see that he's a great person but this movie just makes him seem like a loser who has an awesome adventure. By the end you love him even if you thought he was a stupid pot head at the beginning. James Franco is one of my favorite actors in the universe. This role was nothing short of perfect for him. It brought out the true comedian in Franco. His character was a lonely pot-seller who just wanted a friend. And when he found one he found more than he bargined for. His acting was more than acurate when he was high and his jokes were just too funny for words. His emotional range was quite long and full for a character of this kind. But the way this character was written was supposed to make him seem like a funny guy who turns out to have feelings. Danny McBride just ticks you off for the first half of the film but he does it in such a way that you want him to stay on screen so you can see the reactions the other actors give him. he was funny and to most perfectly stupid guy. His acting made every part of this stupid character come to life and make you pee your pants. (The fight scene with him Franco and Rogen is one you might never forget in your entire life because even though it's violent you can't help but laugh at how stupid and akward they all are) Craig Robinson and Kevin Corrigan are the perfect hitmen-team. They are the most opposite and dementedly funny group of people. They are such an old married couple while killing people. They bring more than their share of humor to this uber funny movie. Especially Kevin Corrigan. Gary Cole is my favorite villan now. Becuase he's akward and stupid yet serious and murderously evil. It's fun to have him on screen and see what stupidly violent thing hes going to do next Rosie Perez was too serious to be real. Her character had hints of sexual attractions to other characters but she was so driven and devoted to killing and coming out the other side that she had a hard time doing so. Her character was hard to make funny because of the way she was written--serious and overly evil-- but Perez made it work. Amber Heard, Bill Hader and Bobby Lee were all great at their small parts. Very funny and devoted to their characters. The direction was funny and added to the comedic sence of action that was in the movie. Kind of like a comic book. The writing was fanomanally hilarious and deserves more than just attention it deserves awards! I mean making stoners and villains funny and realistic yet still have a driven and entertaining plot is more than a challenge its a once in a life time type thing. The action was so real and intense that it had to come from a high budget action film not some comedy style movie with a medium budget. All the fighting and blood and car chases were so entertaining and real that I personally wondered if there were stunt doubles or not (the faces were almost always shown!) The langauge was reallly bad and the sexual content (no nudity just sexual jokes) was bad. But it was all realistic and not OVER THE TOP. It made it very real and interesting because you knew that what was happening was something that could happen (besides the fact that it's fake and most likely couldn't happen). But overall this movie was one of my favorite movies of 2008. AMAZING MOVIE! Some Quotes: WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Some cuss words (especially F words becase of the rating of this film) Saul: Fuck the po-lice! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Jones: Has anyone seen my bigger knife? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken: War is upon you!

Take his stash and burn the motherfucker down. Ken: No retreat, no surrender! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budlofsky: [Matheson is smoking weed] No, I can't. My wife can always tell. She can smell it on my sweater. Matheson: [laughs] You want my vest? It smell good. Budlofsky: It's not my style. Matheson: You ain't got no style, muthafucka. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matheson: [to Budlofsky] You used to be fierce. You used to be ruthless! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: Today's my cat's birthday. [passes out] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matheson: [Saul has smashed a coffee pot in Matheson's face, leaving huge scars] I look like the Hamburglar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: In case you haven't noticed - which you haven't, 'cause from what I can tell, you don't notice anything ever - we are not very functional when we're high. Saul: Well, I don't know, man. I think I'm functioning right now. I was, like, stoned when I saved you with those slushies. What do you gotta say to that? Dale Denton: Well, that would be true if you had saved me. But you didn't save me. She was gonna help us, but you made things worse. Now we're wanted for all sorts of crazy shit! Saul: Don't fucking get on my case, all right? Look, only reason I started selling pot is so I could put my bubbeh in a nice retirement home. Dale Denton: [sarcastically] Oh, yeah, she must be proud of you for that. Saul: She is really proud of me, and I'm gonna become something, man! As soon as she dies, I'm gonna become a civil engineer. I'm gonna design septic tanks for playgrounds. Little kids can take shits! You idiot, what the hell do you do? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Angie Anderson: Fuck you, Dale. I lost my virginity when I was fourteen, okay? How many women have you even slept with? Dale Denton: Like two and a half. Angie Anderson: Two and a half? What is a half, your hand? That doesn't count! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert: Angie, you're a fucking idiot. I say that with love. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: [talking about his girlfriend] I go visit her in high school and all the guys she goes to school with are, like, strong and handsome and really, like, funny and do good impressions of Jeff Goldblum and shit like that. And, like, I just feel like a fat, dumb fuckin' stinky-ass turd when I'm there. Saul: What? Dale Denton: It sucks for my ego. Saul: Fuck Jeff Goldblum, man! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, motherfucker! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: [after Red tosses an ashtray, frisbee style, at Dale's head] Holy cock! Dale Denton: [to Red] Fuck you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: What?s down there, a fucking Rancor? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: [as he is just about to punch Carol in the face] You're in the jungle now, Baby! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: This is like if that Blue Oyster shit met that Afghan Kush I had - and they had a baby. And then, meanwhile, that crazy Northern Light stuff I had and the Super Red Espresso Snowflake met and had a baby. And by some miracle, those two babies met and fucked - this would the shit that they birthed. Dale Denton: [smells the marijuana] Wow. This is the product of baby fucking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert: Are you high? Dale Denton: What? No! Shannon: You are high as a fucking kite! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: How about in the park, when I said you were my friend... you didn't say anything back. Dale Denton: Well, that's easy. It's because we're not friends. You are my drug dealer. The only reason I know you is because I like the drugs you sell. If you didn't sell drugs, I would have no idea who you are, and I wouldn't be here right now. I would be fantastic! Saul: Oh. Dale Denton: I'm sorry, that sounded really mean... just to hear that, that sounded really mean. Saul: No, I see. The monkey's out of the bottle now! Dale Denton: What? That's not even... a figure of speech. Saul: Pandora can't go back into the box - he only comes out. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken: [to Ted and Dale] You, suck my balls. Two times! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Enjoy your last meal. [throws bills at Dale] Saul: Here, supersize it, bitch. [throws change] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: Why don't you follow his lead and just chill out, man? Dale Denton: I'm chill. I'm chill as a cucumber, man. Red: You don't seem chill. Dale Denton: I'm more chill than you. Red: You're more chill than me? Dale Denton: Yeah. Red: Look what I'm wearing. Kimono, dog. What're you wearing? Dale Denton: A suit. Red: Yeah, exactly. I don't know what's up with you, but I don't know if I like you. Dale Denton: Well, I don't know if I like you either, man. Red: Well, that's your loss 'cause I'm a great friend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: You were cold and I clothed you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Just sit back and get ready to enjoy some of the rarest weed known to mankind. [he lights a joint and inhales] Dale Denton: It's really that rare? Saul: [exhales] It's, like, the rarest. [he examines the joint] Saul: It's almost a shame to smoke it. It's like killing a unicorn... with, like, a bomb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: [while hiding in the woods, on the run from Ted's henchmen] Even if he found that roach, how could he find us? Saul: Um... heat-seeking missiles... bloodhounds... and foxes... barracudas... Dale Denton: I'm just - I'm kind of flabbergasted when you say things like that. It's weird. Saul: Thank you. Dale Denton: Not a compliment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Hey, look: it's like my thumb is my cock. Dale Denton: That's not gonna get us a ride, man. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Let's roll, man! I'm done with the woods! Let's go! C'mon, man, let's get the fuck outta here! Dale Denton: [sarcastically] Okay... Uhh let's go... No... It's not working... the battery's dead. Saul: Wait...! What do you mean, it's dead? Dale Denton: [laughing] What do I mean? I mean the battery's dead. The battery's dead! Saul: No, no! What do you mean, the battery's dead? Dale Denton: How can I explain this to you differently? The battery is dead. It ceased to live. It's deceased now. The car needs a battery to start, Saul. Saul: [frustrated sigh] How did this happen? Dale Denton: Well we clearly fell asleep with the battery on and-... Saul: Aw, man... Talk radio? Dale Denton: Yes, talk radio. Saul: So boring, man! The car just committed suicide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: BFFF? Dale Denton: Best Fuckin' Friends Forever, man! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Holy cock! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: Thug life! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scientist: Private Miller, you've been smoking item nine for seven minutes and thirteen seconds. We're going to ask you several questions. How do you feel? Private Miller: Ah, well, sir, I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: When my foot was in the hole - and my groin - man, I felt like a wishbone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matheson: Well, lookie here. Mr. Folgers. What's up, sir? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Man, why'd we have to go to the woods? Dale Denton: Well you didn't come up with any ideas! Saul: Yeah, I came up with two! Nowhere and Quizno's. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: I'm just up here, tryin' to get a motherfuckin' scholarship! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: [Dale is at Angie's house] No, don't don't let him gonna... No, don't wanna. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: [Saul talking to Red on the phone] Well be careful, man. Be careful. Wear shoes in the house. Safety. Safety first, then teamwork. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: [Red talking to Dale] There you go. Why don't you just follow his lead and just chill out, man? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: Man, I'm just into Buddhism, and I'm at peace with the fact that me, as this person, probably gonna not be around. Think about a hermit crab, okay? And it's a shell. It's like, they go from one shell to the next. And that's what I am. I'm just a hermit crab changin' shells. Dale Denton: Except if you're a dick your whole life, your next shell will be made of shit, okay? If you're an asshole, you're gonna come back as a cockroach or a worm or a fuckin' anal bead, okay? If you're a man and you act heroic, you'll come back as an eagle. You'll come back as a dragon. You'll come back as Jude Law, okay? Which would you rather be? Red: Maybe the anal bead, depending on who it belongs to. Dale Denton: Belongs to me. Red: Then the dragon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert: You assholes do exactly as I say, or I will take you outside and fuck you in the street! Dale Denton: No! Don't fuck us anywhere! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: [fighting with Ted] Gimme that fire extinguisher! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: A dude, a lady, and a cop? That like a massacre, man! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: There's a fly in the ointment, shits hittin' the fan, the lion will speak! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: Hey, man, what happened to your lip? Saul: Yeah... it looks like you've been crying or something... Red: Um, actually, my lip, that's a cold sore. And I've never had a cold sore before, so I cried. Saul: Dude, a cold sore? Does that mean like... herpes? Red: Yes, that's what it means. I have herpes. Saul: Herpes... Whoa, do you know how many, like, joints we've shared? Red: Yes, I know, I'm a disgusting person. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Dale walks in unexpectedly] Dale Denton: Hello? Hey, man. Saul: What the fuck? I didn't buzz you in. How the monkey did you get in here? Dale Denton: Oh, shit, some guy with a faux 'hawk let me in. He was leaving when I was-... Saul: Fuckin' Kyle, man? Dale Denton: It might've been Kyle. Saul: That asshole. Dale Denton: I'm sorry. Saul: What the fuck's the buzzer for, anyway? Dale Denton: I don't know. I'm sorry about that. I don't know your protocol yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Edwards: Clark's a great guy, man. He's totally gonna take care of Angie, man. He's great; he's a wonderful lab partner, so... It's gonna be cool, he'll keep one eye on her. Dale Denton: Why don't you go fuck yourself, you weird little prick? Mr. Edwards: I'm a teacher, okay? You can't talk to me like that, guy. Dale Denton: I'm not a student, so I can say whatever the fuck I want, you chimp-fucking little bastard. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: [quoting 227] I thought hurricane season was over! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: Oh, wow, you got a cute picture. Saul: Oh, yeah, me and my bubbeh. Hey, let me ask you something. Do you think you could pull the plug on someone if you needed to? Like euthanasia? Dale Denton: Like on her? Saul: If I needed to. Dale Denton: Um... I'm kind of in a hurry, man. I don't know if we should start going down that road. I could talk all day about euthanasia. Don't get me started. Saul: Well, save it! Dale Denton: We'll save it for next time. We'll keep it going. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: What's up with the suit? Dale Denton: Oh, I'm a process server, so I have to wear a suit. Saul: Wow, you're a servant? Like a butler? A chauffeur? Dale Denton: No, no. What? No, I'm not like-... Saul: Shine shoes? Dale Denton: I'm a process server! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: He fucking killed him! Saul: Who killed who? Dale Denton: A cop, a lady, and a guy! Saul: A cop, a lady, and a guy, man? That's like a massacre. You saw it? Dale Denton: No, it was just a guy! Saul: What happened to the lady? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: [talking about Pineapple Express] It's almost a shame to smoke it. It's like killing a unicorn... with, like, a bomb. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: I wish we could just go nowhere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: Do you know what today is? Saul: Tuesday. Red: This is my cat's birthday today. Dale Denton: I don't see a cat in here. I'm sorry. Did you let it out by accident? Red: No, because he died three months ago, okay? So now who's the funny guy? Dale Denton: I'm sorry? Red: Today is his birthday and it is a tradition that on his birthday I get up extra early and make him his favorite kind of dessert. Saul: Don't worry, bro. Your cat's going to heaven. Red: Yeah, maybe. Maybe he went to heaven. He was a little fucker. He could've gone to hell. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: You don't think I can handle danger? Dale Denton: What are you talking about? Saul: You can. Red: I totally can. And for you to come into my house and not tell secrets because you think you're saving me, well, in reality it just makes you look like a dumbass, cause look at this. [He shows them his shaved armpits] Red: You see this? You see that? There's no hair under here, bro. Dale Denton: What's the significance of that? Red: It makes me aerodynamic when I fight. I can take danger. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: [Red wakes up and is taped to a chair] Hey, what's up, dudes? Dale Denton: What's up? Tell us everything now! Saul: Talk, Red. Red: I'm gonna flex and bust out of here. [Red tries to bust out] Saul: Trapped. Dale Denton: It's not happening, Red. Red: Okay, I'll talk. Um, Ted Jones, he knows you witnessed the murder. He found your roach. He sent two guys over here, Budlofsky and Matheson. Two real big son of a bitches. They're basically out to kill you guys, and they're gonna kill me, too, unless I turn y'all over. So you guys are basically fucked. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matheson: Red, this is your last chance. You gonna give us something we can use? Red: Matheson, you gotta be kidding me, man. What more do you want? I told you the guy's name was Dale Denton. He's obviously working with Saul. They came in here, they busted my house to shit, they kicked the hell out of me, and then duct-taped me to my grandfather's wheelchair. What more do you want me to tell you? Want me to read your horoscope? Matheson: You hear that, Ted? Ted Jones: [on the phone] Okay, ask if either of them were Asian. Matheson: What skin color were they? Red: They were white people. Denton might've been a Jew. I don't know. I don't judge people based on things like that. Obviously, we're friends. Matheson: Ted, you hear him? Ted Jones: Dale Denton. Not Asian. All right, kill Red. Red: Man, listen, I would just appreciate it if both of y'all would take your shoes off. This is brand-new carpet. You're tracking mud in here. Matheson, you got British Knights on. I ain't seen anybody wear them since 1987-... [Matheson shoots Red] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: [after explaining everything that's happened] Do you believe me? Police Liaison Officer: I don't know. Give me a minute. It was a woman or a man cop? Dale Denton: It was a policewoman. It was a woman. Police Liaison Officer: Oh, I think I know who that bitch was. Dale Denton: Yes, I will identify that bitch! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: I used to use this little gun when I was a prostitute. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matheson: You know you gonna die, right? Saul: Yeah. Matheson: I'm gonna kill the fuck out of you! I hope you enjoy these last seventeen minutes of your life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: [before saving Saul] I can't do this. I'm sorry, man. I can't do this. I'm infected. My shit's all fucked up. I need medical attention. Dale Denton: What do you mean you can't - I thought we just got all pumped up! What was that all about? Red: Dude, Ted is a fucking murderer! I can't fuck with him! I got a wife, man! She's gonna be out of jail soon. I wanna fuck her! I wanna have sex with her! I am not gonna wake up murdered tomorrow. Dale Denton: Oh, no! Come on, this could be your moment of redemption! Red: Fuck that. This'll be your moment. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: I'm gonna get us out of here! Saul: No, you're not. But it's okay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: You lied to me. Red: I did. I lied big time to you. Saul: Dale said that that you didn't even have herpes, and I said that you did. Red: Honestly, like, from now on, just, like, from everything that we've gone through, from, like, seeing this fuckin' asshole's nuts smashed with my Daewoo, I want to be a better friend to you. I really do. Saul: I fuckin' love you, dog. I fuckin' love you. Red: I wanna be inside you, homes. Saul: No more lies, Red. Red: This is my moment. Saul: This is your moment. [Carol shoots Red] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: I'm trying to decide how stoned I am and just how on the verge of death am I right now. Like, am I seeing shit because I'm stone or because I have no blood left in my body. Dale Denton: Well, you've been shot like seven times. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Red: [Red regains consciousness after shortly passing out from his wounds] I'm like the nerd at the sleepover who fell asleep at nine. Dale Denton: It's okay. We won't put our dicks in your mouth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clark: Dude, I wanted to tell you. You were hilarious today in Drama Class. Angie Anderson: Seriously, your Jeff Goldblum impression made me piss my pants. Clark: Oh, I wish. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: You still got that bong I got you when I was in Tel Aviv? Red: Hell yeah, Bong Mitzvah! Hit it up, dude! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: What an adorable little cop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: You killed my ear! Matheson: You shot me! Dale Denton: I didn't do that! Matheson: HE shot me! Dale Denton: You shot him? Saul: nods his head Matheson: Get your hands off me! Saul: Shut up! we've had enough of you! Matheson: I'm not your friend! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: Couscous - the food's so nice they named it twice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: Relax, man, just sit back and get ready to enjoy some of the rarest weed known to man. Dale Denton: It's really that rare? Saul: It's like the rarest. It's almost a shame to smoke it. It's like... killin' a unicorn... with, like, a bomb... Dale Denton: Are you the only guy in town who has this? You're actually the only guy? Saul: Yeah. My guy Red said he was givin' me an exclusive sneak preview. Dale Denton: And am I the only guy who you sold it to; the other guys got snicklefritz? Saul: Yeah. So we're like the only guys... Dale Denton: And Red got this from Ted? Saul: Ted's the man. Dale Denton: ...Let's get the fuck outta here, man! Go! Go! Let's go! Saul: What? Dale Denton: Let's go! Go! Saul: Why? Dale Denton: Because! I threw a roach of this outside of Ted's house! Saul: So what, man? I throw roaches all over the fuckin' town... Dale Denton: No! No, no! He could find the roach and say it's Pineapple Express in here! SAUL! He's the only guy who HAS Pineapple Express! He must've seen the murder or know - let's fuckin' kill him! Saul: Oh, fuck! Dale Denton: Let's get outta here! Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop! Get weed! Get the weed! Saul: Okay. Dale Denton: Anything we might need: snacks, food, fruit roll-ups! Let's get the fuck outta here! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: I should call Angie soon... Make up some bullshit... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: I think we should stay! Dale Denton: Why? Saul: ...Cause I'm in the dumpster already! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: Danger! Danger! Trees! Tree! Tree! Squirrel! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: Aren't you angry at Ted? Red: Yeah, I'm really mad at him... Dale Denton: Well whaddya wanna do about it? Don't you wanna get up and DO SOMETHIN' about it? Red: Maybe... Maybe that'd be cool to do to him... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale Denton: What the fuck is this thing? Saul: Ah. Cross joint. Dale Denton: Yeah. Saul: You ever smoke one of those? Dale Denton: You can SMOKE this? Saul: Hell yeah, man! Dale Denton: No. Saul: This. Is. The future, this is like the apex of the vortex of joint engineering. It's rumored that M. M. O'Shaughnessy designed the first one - the guy who, uh, designed the Golden Gate Bridge. My second favorite civil engineer behind Hannskarl Bandel: Madison Square Garden... What you do is you light all three ends at the same time... Dale Denton: Really?

Use WORDS! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saul: [Red throws ashtray at Dale's face] Holy cock! Dale Denton: Fuck you! [runs away]
7	Inglourious Basterds (2009, R) This was such an amazing movie. It was too hilarious to be a horror and too violent to be a comedy. Brad Pitt is really sooo amazing in this movie. He has the timing to be funny yet the charm and character that's some what scary and unreliable. It made his character more than complex, and more than amazing. Diane Kruger had less of a part that most of the other characters, and she wasn't the funniest, but she was stable and a great actress. Melenie Luarent was soo wonderful. She was my third favorite character in this cast. She was such a perfect character and actress. Her emotions were extremly well developed. Christoph Waltz was scary as shit! He was very very deathly evil and at the end of the movie you won't believe his performance change. All of the Basterds were funny and terribly unsettling in a cool way. They had sooo much acting ability. Their emotional range and their body language was perfect for their roles. Quentin Tarantino wrote this movie uber well! His directing was more than perfect. It was comical and violent, but it was cut perfectly. And the way that it was shott like an old movie made every part of it feel more historical. But in some senses it was shot like a cartoon. VERY PERFECT! Rated R for: GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE GORE Language A short scene of sexual activity (very brief.... 30 seconds)
8	The Machinist (2004, R) This was a truly once-in-a-life-time spectacular movie. There is no other movie I can compare this too. This is a movie that met and passed every expectation I had set for it. Christian Bale is some new kind of insane to put himself through such a grueling body change. The plot was amazingly written and thoughtout. Each twist was unexpected and intriquite. Christian Bale played such a layered and creepy character. He washed his hands with bleach, he saw a guy no one else saw, his mind was literally skipping parts of his life. I loved how well Christain's face and eyes showed what torment was going on inside Trevor's mind. How each movement was Trevor, and not Bale's. Jennifer Jason Leigh was the only thing that made Trevor real. He had a love. Someone who loved him back. Jennifer played the love realisticly, yet was still just as crazy as Trevor in a different way. John Sharian was a perfect choice. You have to have the perfect person to play Ivan and boy did they choose the absolute one hundred percent perfet person to play the tangibal crazy. I loved the scrip. The screenplay was written well. The dialoug itself was realistic and let you see how he went from normal-ish to full blown koo-koo. I really enjoyed the sets, it's hard to believe it was Barcelona and not LA. Trevor's apartment was really great because everything was white, and stark, yet it was messy and bloody. The notes, and the clues were well thought out. The ending was amazing and in know way could anyone have called it. I myself found a few of the clues and understood a little bit of what was going on. But the ending was crazy! How did that happen? It was all hinted at. Especially in the ROUTE 66 ride at the carnival. It was the ride of Trevor's life. GREAT MOVIE! A MUST SEE! SEEEEEE ITTTT NOOOOWWWWW!
9	Charlie Bartlett (2007, R) I love this movie! It's one of the funniest movies i've ever seen-- EVER! First of all Anton Yelchin is one of the funniest actors and I'm sure he'll rise to great peaks over the next few years. He is well rounded. He can be dramatic, romantic, comedic, and english. He has some pretty damn funny monolouges and random bits of emotions that make you laugh. He'll be one to watch in the future. Hope Davis was pretty funny for her role. She didn't outstand like the rest of the cast but she gave you a giggle here and there. She was emotional but to the right degree that is was funny more than annoying. Kat Dennings was great. I loved her singing. She was funny, and she was really good at being a messed up kid. She had great chemistry with Robert Downey Jr. and Anton Yelchin. She seemed like a punk-teenager and a loving-girlfriend. Robert Downey Jr.'s character seemed just to be a little upset with his life, and love his daughter. He liked to have a drink and work... but then BAM POW BOOOM! Robert Dowey Jr. changed the pace at the flip of a switch. He had the best emotional range, and the best body language. Megan Park, Johnathan Malen, Tyler Hilton, Lauren Collins, Jake Epstein and the rest of the disgruntled and neurotic teen agers were all laugh-out-loud hilarious in their character diversity. The roles came to life with gumption. The direction added to the effect of the drug use-- crazy at times, but in the dramatic scenes it was sobering and forward. The music added to the teenage effect of the movie-- reminding us that the movie was supposed to be about the struggles of the teenager today, the one that loves music and "VENTS" through the music they listen too.

10	Schindler's List (1993, R) Beautiful movie. An inspiration to all ages past, present and future. Steven Spielberg is a pure incredible genius. He used black and white, which made the few things colored more significant and it showed you want Oskar Schindler was feeling. THE LIST IS LIFE This movie took you inside Oskar Shindler. You saw that he started out just trying to make money, but he realized that the jews were people too, that they had feelings and thoughts and that they needed someone to save them. He realized that he could do it, and still make money. A win-win situation. The screenplay was excellent, it put german and english in with mix enough that you felt closer to the story without having to know what they were saying. The camera direction was marvelous, it used angles to tell the part of the story words couldn't. The violence was well done. The gore and effects were realistic yet it wasn't over the top. It held decency and let you feel how strong each death was. There was a lot of nudity but it was used to show what it was like to be a jew during the holocoust or because it was nessacary. The acting was stupendous. Liam Neeson is a wonderful actor for the ages. His approach on Shindler made the movie at least 3/4 of what it was, and how much it affects you. His face, voice, and body-language lets you into his head. It tells you how he changes, how he wants to change, and what he does because he has too. Ralph Fiennes was amazing, too. His character was a hard one to play because he is a cold-blood-thirsty man who doesn't care about who lives or dies, and will shoot you for not sticking out, or for doing something too 'normal'. Ralph Fiennes did this wonderfully, with a hard jaw line and a sarcastically cold laugh and jokes that only he would find funny. Ben Kingsley did wonderfully. His character was a thankful and non-caring man. he didn't care if he lived or died as long as his death was something that gave life to others. He recognized what Shindler did and he recognized it by showing us with his eyes. He had such great eyes and a great vocal range, a range filled with different emotions and passion without changing volume. Every female actress, and every jewish actor added to the film without having to stick out of the crowd. Every jew that died, lived, or was there added to the affect of the film without having to say something loudly or be the center of attention. The little girl in the red coat didn't have to draw attention to herself to have all eyes on her. The ending will touch you like you've never been touched before. Not only the movie's ending, but the ending with Shindler's grave stone. This movie will change the way you look at life. It's a movie for the ages. RATED R FOR: Violence/ Gore Nudity Sexual Content
11	Ed Wood (1994, R) In this review I'm going to asess each of the main characters in their own paragraph, I will asess the rating, the directing, sets, costumes, and plot each in their own paragraph. I will title each by what is in it so you can skip what you don't care about and read what you like. Driecting: Tim Burton's classic style, color scheme, actor/actress choices, and look was present and magnificant. The black and white which is present in Sleepy Hollow, Edward Scissorhands, and Sweeney Todd is present in this movie. The choices for cast and the look was classic and perfect Burton. The way he had the characters recact to eachother was awesome and interestingly perfect. Costumes: The woman's clothing worn on Depp were interesting, funny, kinda-hot and fun. The costumes used in the 'movies' and on the characters in their real lives were realistic for the year which was 1953-1956. Sets: The sets were great. The fake "movie sets" used on Ed Wood's movies were intentionally terrible but in a funny way. The colors used were perfect for the grays they would turn into when the movie was black and white on screen, the colors were great for the blending of the black/white/gray ratios needed. Plot: The plot of the movie showed not the entire life but the essence and characteristics of Edward D. Wood Jr. It followed his love with two woman, his friendships with many stars and budding actors. It shows his passion and his quirks. It showed his addiction to transvitisom, and his love of directing. He acted, produced, wrote, and directed movies but they were all terrible. He didn't see that he just saw how much he loved and pursued the goals he wanted. He loved directing so he did. He loved making movies and when he didn't have money he went out there and got the money... no matter how long and how frustrating it was to get it. It showed a man with problems, love, passion, and quirks but overall it was just the life of a man who was blind to what people thought of his movies. Or maybe he wasn't, maybe he just knew he wanted to do it and didn't care if people liked his movies or not. But this movie was inspiring and passionate, it was entertaining and funny, and it was the story of Edward D. Wood Jr. Rating: The reason this movie is rated R is because of Language. The language in this movie isn't terrible but it does have at least six f-words, and the usual shit and damns that most movies have. The language is the main reason but there is also some sexual content (very little) including a sexual dance in which Johnny Depp dresses as a woman stripper and does a strip tease ending with him wearing a striper bikini. Quotes: Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I met Bela Lugosi. Dolores Fuller: Why, I thought he was dead. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, he's very much alive. Well, sort of. [Bela Lugosi casts a love spell on Vampira who is on TV while moving his fingers like Dracula] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: My Gosh, Bela, how do you do that? Bela Lugosi: You must be double-jointed. And you must be Hungarian. [Bela Lugosi answers the door on Halloween night wearing his Dracula costume] Children: Trick or treat! [At the sight of Dracula, all but one little boy scream and run away] Bela Lugosi: Aren't you scared, little boy? I'm going to drink your blood! Little boy: You're not a real vampire. Those teeth don't frighten me. [Bela looks puzzled. Ed Wood appears next to him in the doorway] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: How 'bout these? [Pulls out his entire row of front teeth] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [Little boy screams and runs away] Bela Lugosi: Hey... How d'you do that? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Dentures! [Holds them up] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Lost my pearlies in the war! Edward D. Wood, Jr.: My girlfriend still doesn't know why her sweaters are always stretched out. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Listen, I was wondering if you'd like to go out sometime, grab some dinner, maybe? Vampira: You mean a date? I thought you were a fg. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, no, I'm just a transvestite. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I like to dress in women's clothing. Georgie Weiss: You're a fruit? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, not at all. I love women. Wearing their clothes makes me feel closer to them. Georgie Weiss: You're not a fruit? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, I'm all man. I even fought in W.W.2. Of course, I was wearing women's undergarments under my uniform. Tagline: Movies were his passion. Woman were his inspiration. Angora sweaters were his weakness. Johnny Depp: Johnny Depp is always amazing to me but I will try to be cynical as a movie reviewer for this review so you can know how actually magnificant he is even to a non-depp lover. Depp put a hysterical twist on the worst director to ever live with quirky remark smiles and a odd but fun voice. The transvestite twist on the character would stop most actors in their tracks but Depp not only does it well and belivably but with a smile and a spring-in his step. He makes it seem natural, and only a qualified and marvelous actor could do that. Tim Burton always picks Depp for the perfect part. Sarah Jessica Parker: Even though her character was kinda bihy her acting was superb. I'm not normally a Sarah Jessica Parker fan but she was good as Dolores Fuller. She isn't as weird and abnormal as the other characters so she was normally upset or annoyed with what they were doing or how they were acting... so her character wasn't as entertaining to watch but the way she performed was great. Martin Landau: He was a wonderful Bela Lugosi. I have never seen a Bela Lugosi movie so i can't say he was acurate but I sure had a fun time watching him. He had a great essance and air about him. The was he walked, talked, acted, and stood all were eerie, creepy, and old timey scarey. I can see how he was casted to play Lugosi. Landau was funny and had some pretty great friendship-style-chemistry with Depp. They looked so comfortable together like old friends meeting eachother again. Bill Murray: He played an interesting and fun character named Bunny Breckinridge. His character was gay, and wanted to have a sexchange and become female so he could marry his boyfriend. It was a random and weird character but he was funny and kind-spirited. He always had a sarcastic remark or funny pun to lighten the room. His essence was light and feathery, he was amazing and hilarious. advertisementEdward D. Wood, Jr.: I met Bela Lugosi. Dolores Fuller: Why, I thought he was dead. Edward D.

When is your next picture coming out? Bela Lugosi: I have no next picture. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: You gotta be joking, a great star like you? You must have dozens of them lined up! Bela Lugosi: Back in the old days, yes... Now, no one gives two fucks for Bela. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: But you're a big star! Bela Lugosi: No more. I haven't worked in four years.

Georgie Weiss: Well, a couple of things have changed. It ain't gonna be the Christine Jorgensen story no more. Goddamn Variety had to print the story before I got the rights. Now that bitch is asking for the sky. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Aw, you're not gonna make the movie... Georgie Weiss: No! 'Course I'm gonna make the picture! I already presold Alabama and Oklahoma. Those repressed Okies, they go for that twisted, perverted stuff. We'll just do it without the she-male. We'll fictionalize it. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Is there a script? Georgie Weiss: Fuck no!

Too many madmen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bela Lugosi: This is the most uncomfortable coffin I've ever been in. You are wasting my time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And cut! Print. We're moving on. That was perfect. Ed Reynolds: Perfect? Mr. Wood, do you know anything about the art of film production? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well, I like to think so. Ed Reynolds: That cardboard headstone tipped over. This graveyard is obviously phony. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture. Ed Reynolds: The big picture? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. Ed Reynolds: Then how 'bout when the policemen arrived in daylight, but now it's suddenly night? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What do you know? Haven't you heard of suspension of disbelief? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [repeated line] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Cut! That was perfect! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [after Thor Johnson bumps into a scenery wall while walking through a door making the wall shudder] Ok, and CUT! PERFECT! PRINT IT! Cameraman Bill: Don't you wanna do another take Ed? Seems like big baldy had some problems gettin' through that door. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, it's fine. It's real. You know, in actuality, Lobo would have to struggle with this problem every day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Why if I had half a chance, I could make an entire movie using this stock footage. The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery. Editor on Studio Lot: You forgot the octopus. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, no, I'm saving that for my big underwater climax. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Why if I had half a chance, I could make an entire movie using this stock footage. The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery. Old Crusty Man: You forgot the octopus. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, no, I'm saving that for my big underwater climax. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Orson Welles: Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Georgie Weiss: So, what was the important news you couldn't tell me on the phone, again? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well, I started thinking about what you were saying about how your movies need to make a profit. Now, what is the one thing, if you put it in a movie, it'll be successful? Georgie Weiss: Tits. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, better than that. A star. Georgie Weiss: you must have me confused with David Selznick. I don't make major motion pictures; I make crap. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes, but if you take that crap and put a star in it, then you've got something. Georgie Weiss: Yeah. Crap with a star. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [while he and the others flee the chaotic premiere of "Bride of the Monster" in a cab] Bela Lugosi: Now that was a premiere. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Do you know that I've even had producers re-cut my movies? Orson Welles: I hate when that happens. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And they always want to cast their buddies. It doesn't even matter if they're right for the part. Orson Welles: Tell me about it. I'm supposed to do a thriller for Universal. They want Charlton Heston as a Mexican. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bunny Breckinridge: What about glitter? When I was a headliner in Paris, audiences always liked it when I sparkled. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No! Bunny Breckinridge: Cat's Eyes. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No! Bunny Breckinridge: Well, I'm going to need some antennae. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No! You're the ruler of the galaxy! Show a little taste! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [Reading a review] Look, he's got some nice things to say here. "The soldiers' costumes are very realistic." That's positive! Bunny Breckinridge: Rave of the century. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Bunny Breckenridge is being baptized] Reverend Lemon: Welcome to the fold, brother. Welcome. Praise the lord, brother. Do you reject Satan and all his evils? Bunny Breckinridge: Sure. [after his baptism, Bunny swims towards Ed Wood] Bunny Breckinridge: How do you do it? How do you get all your friends to get baptized just so you can make a monster movie? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: It's not a monster movie. It's a supernatural thriller. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [on the phone to Bunny] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Listen, hit the bars, work some parties, and get me transvestites. I need transvestites. All right. Bye. Bela Lugosi: Eddie, what kind of a movie is this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [on phone with Mr. Feldman] Really? Worst film you ever saw. Well, my next one will be better. Hello. Hello. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy O'Hara: Eddie's the only fella in town who doesn't pass judgment on people. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: That's right. If I did, I wouldn't have any friends. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bela Lugosi: Karloff? Sidekick? FUCK YOU! Karloff did not deserve to smell my shit! That limey cocksucker can rot in Hell for all I care! Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What happened? Bela Lugosi: How dare that asshole bring up Karloff? You think it takes talent to do Frankenstein? It's all makeup and grunting. [Mocks Frankenstein] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Bela, I agree with you 100%. Now, "Dracula," that's a role that requires talent. Bela Lugosi: Of course. Dracula requires presence. It's all in the eyes, and the voice, and the hands... Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [interrupting] That's right. That's right. You seem a little agitated. You wanna to go outside and get some air? Bela Lugosi: Bullshit! I'm ready now! Roll the camera! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: You know, you're, you're much scarier in real life than you are in the movie. Bela Lugosi: Thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Criswell: Can your heart stand the shocking facts of the true story of Edward D. Wood Jr.? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Impersonating Bela Lugosi] Dr. Tom Mason: I want to suck your blood. I want to suck your blood! Bunny Breckinridge: Let's hear you call Boris Karloff a cocksucker. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Is there a script? Georgie Weiss: Fuck no. But, there's a poster. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Waiting to be baptized in a swimming pool] Vampira: Why couldn't we do this in the church? Criswell: Because Brother Tor couldn't fit in the sacred tub. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. Reynolds. Ed Reynolds: Yes. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: We are going to finsh this picture just the way I want it... because you cannot compromise an artist's vision. Reverend Lemon: But it's OUR money. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: And you're gonna make a bundle, but only if you shut up and let me do things my way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Is something wrong, Bela? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: ...and then, Dr. Vornoff falls into the pit, and his own octupus attacks and eats him. The end. Old Man McCoy: Whew! That's quite a story. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. Old Man McCoy: So, uh, you made the movie, and now you wanna make it again? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No. We shot ten minutes of the movie, and now we're looking for completion funds. Old Man McCoy: Oh, son, you're too vague. [Yells to one of his butchers] Old Man McCoy: BILLY BOB! You're cuttin' em too lean. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. McCoy. How can I make you happy? Old Man McCoy: [Spits] Okay. Two things. Number one: I want the movie to end with a big explosion. Sky full of smoke. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. But it ends with Dr. Vornoff falling into the pit. Old Man McCoy: Not any more. Number two: I got a son. Little slow, but a good boy, and somethin' tells me he'd make a helluva leadin' man. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bela Lugosi: Pull the string! Pull the string! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [pointing to a "Jacob's Ladder" on the set of Bride of the Atom] Bela Lugosi: I'm not getting near that goddamn thing. One of them burned me in "The Return of Chandu". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [At the "Plan 9" premiere] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: This is the one. 'This' is the one I'll be remembered for. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: They're driving me CRAZY. These Baptists are stupid. Stupid. STUPID. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [on the reason for the success of 'Dracula(1931)'] Bela Lugosi: They were mythic. They had a poetry to them. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. Bela Lugosi: And you know what else? The women... the women preferred the traditional monsters. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: The women? Huh? Bela Lugosi: The pure horror, it both repels, and attracts them, because in their collective unconsiousness, they have the agony of childbirth. The blood. The blood is horror. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: You know, I never thought of that. Bela Lugosi: Take my word for it. If you want to make out with a young lady, take her to see "Dracula". -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What are you drinking, Bela? Bela Lugosi: Formaldehyde Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Straight up or on the rocks? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Kathy... I'm about to tell you something that I never told any girl on a first date. But I think it's important that you know... I like to wear women's clothes. Kathy O'Hara: Huh? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I like to wear women's clothes. Panties, brassieres, sweaters, pumps. It's just something I do. And I can't believe I'm telling you this, but I really like you, and I don't want it getting in the way down the road. Kathy O'Hara: Does this mean... you don't like sex with girls? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: No, I love sex with girls. [long pause] Kathy O'Hara: Okay. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [making up the bald Dr. Tom to look like Bela Lugosi] Makeup Man Harry: Ed, what am I gonna do here. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What do you mean? Makeup Man Harry: He has no hair. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Gee, I never noticed that. Put a wig on him! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vampira: You're watching our Halloween movie, "White Zombie", starring Bela Lugosi, John Harron, Madge Bellamy, and a bunch of other people I've never heard of. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dolores Fuller: You people are insane! You're wasting your lives making shit! Nobody cares! These movies are terrible! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bunny Breckinridge: Oh, what does that old queen know? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Are you people insane? I'm the director. I make the casting decisions around here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Finds Bela ailing] Bela Lugosi: This happens all the time. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Is there anything I can get for you? Water or a blanket? Bela Lugosi: Goulash. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I don't know how to make goulash. [See the track marks on Bela's arm] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Bela, what's in the needle? Bela Lugosi: Morphine. With a demerol chaser. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Bride of the Monster wrap party. Mariachi band plays "Que sera sera"] Tor Johnson: Mister Bunny, what's wrong? I heard you were becoming a lady. Bunny Breckinridge: Oh, that. Mexico was... a nightmare. We got into a car accident... he was killed. Our luggage... was stolen. The surgeon... turned out to be... a quack. If it hadn't been for these men... [gestures to the Mariachi band] Bunny Breckinridge: I don't know... how I would have... survived, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dolores Fuller: [arriving for her scenes in "Bride of the Monster"] Well, I see the usual cast of misfits and dope addicts are here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bela Lugosi: [watching Vampira on TV] I think she's a honey. Look at those jugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Ed is cross-dressed on the set of "Glen or Glenda"] Dolores Fuller: How can you just walk wound like that in front of all these people? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well hon, nobody's bothered but you. Look around. Dolores Fuller: Ed, this isn't the real world. You've surrounded yourself with a bunch of WEIRDOS! Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Oh say it a little louder, I don't think Bela heard you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Bela, in his Dracula costume, hears the doorbell on Halloween night] Bela Lugosi: Children! I love children. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: It's a guaranteed blockbuster. Ed Reynolds: Hmm. Ah, I understand this science fiction is popular, but uh, don't the big hits always have big stars? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Well we have a big star: Bela Lugosi. Ed Reynolds: Bela Lugosi? Why, I though he passed on. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Yes. Yes he did. But... [produces tiny spool of film] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I've got the last footage he ever shot. Ed Reynolds: Well, it doesn't look like very much. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Mr. Reynolds, this is the acorn that will grow a great oak! I'll just get a double to finish his scenes, and we'll release it as "Bela Lugosi's Final Film"! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [talking on phone] Bunny? We're making another movie! Yes. I got the Baptist Church of Beverly Hills to put up the cash! Paul Marco: [knocking on door] Ed, I got the Lugosi doubles outside! Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Bunny, I gotta go... [Ed opens the door to find a short man, a fat man, and a Chinese man] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [sighs, shakes head] He's too short, he's too... tall, he's... just not going to work. Paul Marco: Well, Ed. I was thinking like when Bela played Fu Manchu... Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [Pulls Paul aside] [wispering] Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Paul, that was Karloff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [watching Tor Johnsson at his wrestling match] Bunny Breckinridge: Guess where I'm going next week. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I don't know. Where? Bunny Breckinridge: Mexico. Guess what I'm doing when I get there. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I don't know. Lie on a beach. Bunny Breckinridge: Wrong. I'm getting my first series of hormone injections. And when thos girls kick in, they're going to take out my organs, and make me a woman. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Are you serious? Bunny Breckinridge: It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. But it wasn't until I saw your movie that I realized: I have to take action! GOODBYE PENIS! Dolores Fuller: [obviously annoyed] Could you please keep it down? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bela Lugosi: [about to start filming at night] "All right, lets shoot this fucker!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nurse: Oh my goodness, you gave me the willies! You look like that Dracula guy. Bela Lugosi: My name is Bela Lugosi... and I wish to commit myself. Nurse: For what reason? Bela Lugosi: I have been a drug addict for twenty years. I NEED HELP! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I'm a movie director. Tor Johnson: Movies? You mean like the Mickey Mouse? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Say, let's get married. Kathy O'Hara: Huh? Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Right now. Let's go to Vegas. Kathy O'Hara: But, Eddie, it's pouring and the car top is stuck. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Phooey. It's only a five hour drive and it'll probably stop by the time we get to the desert. Heck, it'll probably stop by the time we get around the corner. Let's go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photographer #1: Who's crazy idea was it to bury him in the cape? Photographer #2: I heard it was Ed Wood. It was how he wanted to be remembered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reverend Lemon: [sees Ed come out in drag] Mr. Wood, what do you think you're doing! Edward D. Wood, Jr.: I'm directing. Ed Reynolds: Not like that you're not. Reverend Lemon: Remove that getup immediately. You shame our lord. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ed Reynolds: Before we start shooting, Mr. Wood, we have a few questions. Reverend Lemon: Yes. The script contains numerous references to graverobbing. Now we find the concept of digging up consecrated ground to be highly offensive. It is blasphemy. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: What are you talking about, it's the premise of the movie. It's the title of the movie for Christ sakes. Reverend Lemon: But Mr. Wood! Ed Reynolds: Yes, about that title. It strikes us as very inflammatory. Why don't we change it to Plan 9 from Outer Space. Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Huh. That's ridiculous. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waiter: Hi, would you like some water? Loretta King: No. No water. No liquids! I'm terribly allergic to them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bela Lugosi: Home? I have no home. Haunted... despised... living like an animal. The jungle is my home! But I will show the world that I can be its master. I shall perfect my own race of people... a race of atomic supermen that will conquer the world!
12	The Nightmare Before Christmas (2008, PG) A magnificant movie! One of Tim Burtuns best films ever. The whole christmas theme was comically portrayed and the Halloween world was dull, for Jack that is. Jack goes off searching for something more and winds up with the beautifly created christmas town. The christmas things are a cheery touch to what was previously a dark movie, due to Jack's emotions. The wondeful animation was also used in Tim Burtun's the Corpse Bride. Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Cherine O'Hara, William hickey, gleen Sadix all did wondeful jobs with their voices to sculpte the characters.
13	The Revengers' Comedies (Sweet Revenge) (2000, PG-13) Admittedly I love helena Bohnam Carter and that's the only reason I saw this movie. Now normally in my reviews I start out with the truth then tell you more about the cast, and then I tell you about the review. So I guess I should do that, because it makes a really good and popular review. Sweet Revenge/Revenger's Comedies Directed by: Malcom Mowbray Cast: Sam Neil: Henrey Bell Helena Bohnam Carter: Karen Knightly Rupert Graves - Oliver Knightly Kristin Scott Thomas - Imogen Saxton-Billing Martin Clunes - Anthony Saxton Billing John Wood - Col. Marcus Anita Dobson - Daphne Teal Adrian Scarborough - Percy Cutting Zoe Hilson - Lydia Francois Domange - Wine Waiter Steve Coogan - Bruce Tick Liz Smith - Winnie Charlotte Coleman - Norma Sandra Reinton - Hilary Tick Jamie O'Brien - Damien Tick Dicken Ashworth - Lorry Driver Now that we have that out of the way I have a couple of people that I would like to point out as being extremly talented in this movie. Helena Bohnam Carter, Rupert Graves, Sam Neil, and kristin Scott Thomas. Helena Bohnam Carter, like i said in the begining of the reveiw, is very talented and I love her acting. Helena Bohnam Carter is very talented and has a very funny sense of brittish humor. She as always did a reallly stunning performance that kept you laughing and waiting impatiantly to see what she was up to next. Many people know her from Sweeney Todd, Big Fish, ect. but this is in her earlier years so she looks younger, and her acting isn't a perfected yet, but she still has the same witt, charm, and talent as always. Rupert Graves is Helena Bohnam Carter's brother in this movie and does a really wondeful job. You only see him for about twenty minutes max in the whole movie but he does a reallly memorable performace, he madee it onto my top actors the first time I saw him. I hope you feel the same about him as I did. Sam Neil was a really talented actor and he felt like a real person, a little more believable than Helena Bohnam Carter, but her character was supossed to be a little crazier. Sam Neil was good but not as good as the other members of the cast. Kristin Scott Thomas is a very great actress and she does a stunning performance and is very memorable, look for her, It won't be that hard to see her. So overall this movie happens to be in the top three top british movies I've ever seen. And in the top five all movies I've ever seen.
14	Little Miss Sunshine (2006, R) Abligal Breslin, Steve Carrell, and Paul Dano kept me laughing the whole movie and for two hours after I saw it. The dysfunction is nothing compared to the love and understanding this wacked out family has hidden under the cussing, vows of silence, go getter dreams, and sucide!
15	Sleepy Hollow (1999, R) A movie about the legend of Sleepy Hollow. Tim Burtun starts an intriging mystry full of his color contrasts keeping the colors dark, lots of pale whites blacks and grays intertwine with the mystery of the little town of Sleepy Hollow. Where Johnny Depp does an excellent portrail of Ichabod Crane. Depp has a great and funny way of doing a semi-not exactly spastic but weird character and keeps you watching every second of the way. Cristina Ricci did perfect acting as a girl in love with Ichabod Crane and as a girl who has a witch inside her. Christopher Walken, Micheal Gambon, Miranda Richardson, Jeffrey Jones, and Casper Van Dien all did wonderful preformances along side Depp and Ricci.
16	Alice in Wonderland (2010, Unrated) Mia Wasikowska is a ninteenyear old Auustrailan actress who is going to the big screen with Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bohnam Carter, and Timothy Spall, and direction by Tim Burton. This is going to be a half animated half live real actor movie with lots of makeup and digital remastering. There will be a mix of the original alice in wonderland and through the looking glass. It will be coming out in March of 2010 and I'm sure it will have a big following. (:
17	Batman (1989, PG-13) If you did see my rating on this movie former to this one you'll see that I was NOT INTERESTED in this movie. But then I saw the Dark Knight and I saw an A+ movie full of action, romance, horror, comedy, and more! But then I decided I didn't get enough of the backround, I mean how was the Joker made? How was the Batman made? And so I went searching. On Blockbuster.com I found Batman. Normally I would've gotten one with a more pizzazy cover but... I supposed Batman was Batman, then I saw the cast and found who the Joker was! It was Jack Nicholson. (Now I know that there have only been two Jokers, one in this and one in the Dark Knight) but I rented it anyway. This movie, gave not only a full report on how the Batman and the Joker were made to be who they were but a romance and a hero to go with it. Jack Nicholson did a stunning performance! I would give his performance 99 out of 100 and sorry to say Heath Ledger got 100 out of 100 so Jack Nicholson is out of the running. Jack was so brilliant though. Ledger and Nicholson have completly diffrent Jokers, Nicholson was flamboyant and exited, he was always singing and happy. Heath Ledger was a more dark, under the weather guy who was distinctly mad and insane, a mad genius one might say, always plotting in his mind. The Costumes were amazing and Tim Burtuns directing skills never cease to amaze! I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see an amazing cast including, Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, Kim Basinger, and more! This was a great movie experiance and should be seen by anyone ready to see a stupendous movie.
18	The Godfather (1972, R) I really love the Godfather. I had been waiting to see it for a long time because everyone I knew said it was amazing. it really was, I wasn't disappointed at all. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino are really stupendous actors and together they're amazing. I would watch it over and over again. There is about fifty percent violence but none of it is too bad. I really would recommend this to anyone who iis looking for a fun time and an amazing movie that will keep you smiling. Francis Ford Coppola did a great job directing and the music to go with the movie was perfect and amazing to hear. FIVE STARS TWO THUMBS UP AND ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. PLEASE SEE THIS
19	Benny & Joon (1993, PG) A passoniate story of two people who are diffrent in special ways, Sam (Depp) isn't mentally special but very obsessed with his idol and even acts like him falls in love with Joon, Joon is mentally ill and has random outbursts and is weird in everyone except Sam's eyes. Very insiteful, funny, romantic, and personal. It reaches into the parts of a relasionship only Johnny Depp could portray
20	Reign Over Me (2007, R) Reign Over Me is one of the best movies I've seen in a while (other than any movie Johnny Depp, ofcourse) Adam Sandler is at what I think his best in this movie. Don Cheadle was a complement to Adam Sandler. There is a lot of swearing and a little bit of profanity but the movie uses that to have Sandler be not only convincing as an actor but funny like in all his other movies, I mean it wouldn't be an Adam Sandler movie with out a little bit of comedy. The Rest of the cast including Liv Tyler, and Jada Pinkett Smith were the perfect acsessories to this movie. I give this five stars, two thumbs up, 100% and a bravo to Sandler and Cheadle.
21	Juno (2007, PG-13) One of the best movies of 2007 definatly in my top ten the hilarious comments and rude crud comedy is anything but awful and makes you laugh til you die
22	Psycho (1960, R) Everyone knows the famous shower scene even if they haven't seen the movie. But what most people don't know is that that was the first movie ever to have a toliet in the bathrrom during a movie. Anthony (Tony) Perkins was an excellent actor and the movie was fantastic because of him. He changed your opinion of the brain and what can happen to it and every line he says keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is deffinatly a classic Alfred Hitchcock movie and everyone should see this movie at least once in their lifetime. The black and white wouldn't even bother you even if you hated black and white because you get so caught up in the action and the secrets that you'll be screaming and not even know it. Janet Leigh was in only about a quarter of it but she still did a stunning and beautiful performance! Another thing not many people know is that in the bathroom scene she was wearing mole skin strips over her "Private Parts" and she was amazing at keeping her eye open and glazed... motionless and not breathing while the camera was on her after her death. Vera Miles was magnificant. And Virgina Greyy who was the voice of Mother did a good voice and kept you on your toes the whole time.
23	Finding Neverland (2004, PG) Finding Neverland Cast: Johnny Depp Kate Winslet Dustin Hoffman Freddie Highmore Johnny Depp who played James Barrie (the writer of Peter Pan) did a stupendous job as this sensitive caring man who found a way into a families heart and helped change them for the better. Especially towards the end of the movie when he even helped the overbearing grandmother of the children. Kate Winslet is my second favorite actress and she did a perfect job as this thoughtful mom of four who found her limits and found that there are no limits. Finding Neverland's story is just a miracle of a movie. It shows the boundries of a family and that their are no limits to being a person. The acting and directing were so brilliant that this movie is a gift to the world and if you don't see it you will have a part of your heart, and mind that isn't opened up.
24	The Ring (2002, PG-13)
25	Disturbia (2007, PG-13) OMG the whole time I was sitting there having a great old time and like saying, "what if this goes all Nigthmare on Elm Street on our asses!" It was fun and my friends were like shut the hell up, but overall so perfect a movie I bought it and i'm still watching it now LOL!
26	A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984, R) This movie has one of the best star-studded casts i've ever see1 to o bad it wasn't back when it came out! Johnny Depp's first film proved to be the perfect character. It gives him a good confused teenager boy character who is intrested in girls but also intrested in what he can't believe and being moral for his girlfriend that he loves. Even though his girlfriend Nancy is having nightmares (along with himself, their friend Tina and Tina's boyfriend Rod) he can't seem to believe the real threat, but he gives Nancy the advice of a life time. Johnny Depp proves the fact that once your a cute boy your a hot man (: Johnny Depp surpassed all expectations that I, a major Depp fan who never underestimates the work he's capable of, was surprised at how great his first shot at acting was. Jsu Garcia played Rod, a dliquent teenager thats only interested in what he can do with girls, and when being manly gets in the way of making him tell the truth and admit to nightmares all hell brakes loose. But he can't handle the truth so he runs and that puts him to danger-- in more ways than one. Heather Langenkamp was outstanding for this role. She was very good at the emotions that come with this not-so-average horror heroine who had to live with the deaths of people she loved and still come out the other side to save herself and the few people left in her life. She was good at being a rock that had to stand her ground and face Freddy even when she didn't know what he was capable of or who he was. She was cute and had a great look to her character. She even sounded intellegent when saying words that normally make us sound barberic and animalistic. Amanda Wyss wasn't very impressionable but she was good. She had good acting abilities for the role, she could show the humor and the girly intrests that it takes to be Tina in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Her sort-of-tough exterior and her infant like scared interior was complicated but in a horror movie you never look at the emotion but at the guts and gore and how creative the deaths and killer can be, but she showed me the emotions before any end could come. I did like her but she WILL NEVER be a Johnny Depp in my eyes. Robert Englund will forever be known to the world as Freddy Kruger, well he does play this chaacter in over six films and most of which are directed by Wes Craven (the horror master and director of A Nightmare on Elm Street one, two, three, four, five, and Wes Craven's New Nightmare). He has the laugh, the posture, the look, the voice, the facial exprestions, and the physical actions he uses to make a man that can possibly be Freddy Kruger, the mass-serial-murderer who kills children. He scares you even when your not a child, I'll admit that even me (i'm thirteen years old) who is so young wasn't scared by him beyond the jump-factor when he popped up onto the screen. But he has a charm... he's a person who can make you look up and make you see him, it draws you in like hes a person who deserves to kill. He can and should kill because you want to see how he will kill people. The rest of the character including the parents and main police officers were all average and moderatly good in my book. They were adaquite for the job and were interesting enough but wouldn't do well in a drama film. Wes Craven who directed and wrote this film and it's sequals is one of my favorite directors because he has the skill to scare you with things from your worst nightmares and beyond. He can concieve things that you wouldn't ever imagine. Who has the mind to see Freddy besides Craven? It's not something you think of without seeing the face Wes Craven gave it, or you never see it without Langenkamp and Depp, and you can't see it without the image Wes Craven decided to put there. The movie was an overall sucess in my book and the humor, horror, and casting made it worth my while. I definatly tell any horror lover, old-movie lover, or just movie lover to see this movie.

Nancy: I just asked you to do one thing, to stay awake and watch me and to wake me up if it looked like I was having a bad dream, and what did you do, you shit?

We need a mop! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tina Gray: [to Nancy] Maybe we're gonna have a big earthquake. They say things get really weird just before. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tina Gray: All day long I've been seeing that guy's weird face and hearing those fingernails. Nancy: Fingernails? That's amazing you saying that. That made me remember the dream I had last night. Tina Gray: What'd you dream? Nancy: I dreamed about a guy in a dirty red and green sweater. [Glen looks up, curious] Tina Gray: Well what about the fingernails? Nancy: Well he scraped his fingernails along things. Actually they were more like fingerknives or something. Something he'd made himself. They made a horrible sound [Imitating nails on a chalkboard] Nancy: screeech. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rod Lane: [to Tina] Guys can have nightmares too ya know. Ya ain't got a corner on the market or somethin'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [At the police station] Ya know Tina, she dreamed this was gonna happen. Donald: What? Nancy: She had a nightmare, that someone was trying to kill her. [to her mother, sobbing] Nancy: That's why we were there mom. She just didn't wanna sleep alone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: What I learned in the dream clinic. That's what I'm trying to prove mother. Rod didn't kill Tina and he didn't hang himself. There's this guy. He's after us in our dreams. Marge: But that's just not reality Nancy. Nancy: [Pulling Krueger's hat out of a drawer] It's real momma, feel it. Marge: Give me that damn thing! Nancy: It even has his name written in it. Fred Krueger mom. Fred Krueger. [Realizing her mother knows about him] Nancy: Do you know who that is mother? Because if you do you better tell me cause he's after me now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tina's Mom: [On seeing Tina's torn nightgown] Tina, you either gotta cut your fingernails or ya gotta stop that kind of dreamin'... one or the other. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rod Lane: [after tackling Glen on the lawn] It's Rod Lane, bringing Lantz down, just three yards from the goal line! What a brilliant tackle and the crowd goes wild! Tina Gray: What the hell are you doing here? Rod Lane: Came to make up. No big deal. Your mom home? Tina Gray: Of course. [looking at the tool Rod used to make the screeching noise] Tina Gray: Oh, what's that? Rod Lane: Intense, huh? [slowly reveals it and imitates a screeching noise] Rod Lane: So what's going on here? An orgy or somethin'? Glen Lantz: Maybe your funeral, dickhead. [Rod pulls out a switchblade and holds it up to Glen's face] Nancy: [Putting Rod's flashing switchblade back in and giving it to him] It's just a sleepover, Rod. Tina and me. Glen was JUST leaving. Rod Lane: [to Tina, with a smile] Did you see his face? Glen Lantz: [Mimicking Rod with a face] Did you see his face? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tina Gray: Nancy... you dreamed about the same creep I did. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [she notices Glen standing outside her window with mud-caked soles] Sometimes I wish you didn't live right across the street. Glen Lantz: [holds one of his muddy feet up to her] Will you shut up and let me in? Did you ever stand on a rose trellis in your bare feet? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: Help! I've got him! Hey, Daddy! I've Got him trapped! Help! Where are you? Sgt. Parker: Everything's gonna be all right! Everything's under control! Nancy: Get my dad, you asshole! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marge: You want to know who Fred Krueger was? He was a filthy child murderer who killed at least 20 kids in the neighborhood. Kids we all knew. Nancy: [taken aback] Oh, mom. Marge: It drove us crazy when we didn't know who it was, but it was even worse after they caught him. Nancy: Did they put him away? Marge: Well, the lawyers got fat and the judge got famous, but somebody forgot to sign the search warrant in the right place and Krueger was free, just like that. Nancy: What did you do, mother? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [screaming in the boiler room] Come out and show yourself, you bastard! [fixing her watch, and Krueger comes from behind] Nancy: [screaming and jumping from the boiler room and landing in front of her house on a rose bush] Dammit! Where are you? Where are you Krueger? [laughing uncomfortably] Nancy: I know your here! Fred Krueger: [whispering] Hey, Nancy. [pops out from under the rose bush] Nancy: [jumps towards and grabs him] I've got you now! [wrestles with him as her alarm wakes her] Nancy: [screaming and waking in her room alone] Nancy: Oh. [holds her face in despair] Nancy: I'm crazy after all! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [At the sleep clinic] I don't see why you can't just give me a pill to keep me from dreaming. Dr. King: Everybody's got to dream, young girl. If you don't dream, [Pointing to his head] Dr. King: ya go. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. King: [At the sleep clinic, referring to the monitor's brainwave display] A nightmare now would be plus or minus five or six. She's about three. Marge: [Nancy begins twitching, as you hear Freddy's knives] Doctor, what's she doing now? Is she asleep or awake? Dr. King: [the monitor's number quickly increases to 30] [Shaking his head in disbelief] Dr. King: Something's wrong. It never gets this high! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [to her father] The killer's still loose, ya know. Donald: You're saying somebody else killed Tina? Who? Nancy: I don't know who he is, but he's burned and he wears a weird hat and a red and green sweater, really dirty. And he uses these knives, like giant fingernails... Donald: [Cuts her off and guides her into the car] Donald: [to Marge] You better keep her home, for a few days, until she really gets over the shock of this. Marge: I've got something better. I'm going to get her some help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [Referring to the Balinese way of dreaming] But what if they meet a monster in their dreams, then what? Glen Lantz: They turn their back on it. Take away its energy and it disappears. Nancy: But what happens if they don't do that? Glen Lantz: Well I guess those people don't wake up to tell what happens. Nancy: [sighing] Great. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marge: [to Nancy] Oh, I feel like a million bucks. They say you've bottomed out when you can't remember the night before. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: Glenn? Where are you? Are you there? Freddy Krueger: [whispers] I'm here. [jumps out from behind a bush. Nancy screams and takes off running] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy: [looking in the mirror] This is just a dream, he isn't real. This is just a dream, he isn't real. He isn't- [Freddy smashes through the mirror and grabs her]
27	Stand by Me (1986, R) Very heroic, loving, touching, and makes you realize what it means to be a kid with all the tiime in the world. Stephen King is a genius and the horror is still present just not as there as in "It" or "Rose Red" or "The Shinning" or "Misery" or in "Storm of the Century"
28	300 (2007, R) OMG: I mean I'm not 17 but I saw it anyway and HOLY SHIT! Wasn't that hilarious and fun and I aced my Ancient Civilization test because of it! LOL!
29	Titanic (1997, PG-13) Beautiful! I love the romantic aspect... because after all most of us are hopeless romantics (I among them) I just imagine life to be perfect and me to end up with Leonardo Dicaprio. But alas life isn't perfect ): But Kate Winslet is beautiful and she has a pure essence and grace surrounding her. When she walks you feel it, you have to look towards her. She and Leo have great chemistry, and they act wonderfully in this amazing movie!
30	Happy Gilmore (1996, PG-13) JESUS CHRIST!!!! Adam Sandler as a cusing golfer? how much funnier and hilarious can a golf movie get????
31	Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005, PG) Johnny Depp, Helena Bohnem Carter, Freddie Highmore, and Tim Burtun!!! It rocks and it is a very funny movie that everyone can enjoy! It makes you really hungry though!
32	Secret Window (2004, PG-13) Brilliant adaption of a Stephen King short story. Johnny Depp did a brilliant performance as a man going mad... opps i told you too much but magnificant work! And John Turturro, Maria Bello, Timothy Hutton, and Charles S. Dutton all did a great job as suporting actors/actresses.
33	Don Juan DeMarco (1994, PG-13) A wonderful story of a man and his fasination. Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp had a wonderful spark that intrigued you and had you listening to every word that was in their conversations. Faye Dunaway played a brilliant part and was a wonderful supporting actress. The romance in the movie is magical and their is a little too much profanity for a PG-13 movie but i still love this movie.
34	The Mist (2007, R) Scary and thrilling this movie keeps you on the edge of the world! A stephen king classic filled with chills and thrills. The monsters and and scary things that go bump in the night are all brilliantly made. The entire cast reflects the good writing of Stephen King and fit perfectly into the story as if they were born the play the parts!
35	Donnie Brasco (1997, R) This movie is what I would call a masterpiece! A movie for all generations of people. True you would definatly have to be 17 if you have a weak stomach or delicate ears. I'm warning you there is more than it's share of swearing and blood. But after you get past the reasons it's "R" it is a touching story of a man Joe Pistone/ Donnie Brasco (DEPP) who goes undercover into the mob and finds out how much trouble and pain the mob causes it's participants and those who happen to get in the way or even next to it. Al Pacino did a heart breaking preformance and left you begging for more! The Cinamatography was brilliant, esp. the typewriter views and the camera views (with the click and close of the lens) The director Mike Newell knew what he was doing when he directed this true story about a man who started to lose everything when he found something.
36	La Vie en Rose (La Mome) (2007, PG-13) La Vie en Rose! Oh i couldn't keep myself away from the screen for more than a second when I rented this movie. The true story was stunning, comical, heartbreaking, and forever memorable. Edith Piaf's life was truely a life changing experiance. The singing and acting perfromances were stupendous. The things that happened to Piaf during her life (examples--- Growing up in a whore house, being moved around all the time by people who didn't care about her) you would be strong and have the courage to do and be what a star needs to do and be like. The director OliverDahan knew how to show the life of a woman whose childhood made her famous and her fame made her age. Marion Cotillard did an wonderful job being Piaf and when she was done you couldn't wait to go rent more of her movies!
37	Cry Baby (1990, PG-13) This movie may not have been one of Johnny's best movies but it sure was funny. I laughed and laughed and laughed. There were a few parts that I wasn't ready for but other than that this movie was fun, entertaining, enjoyable, and DEPPTASTIC!
38	Vantage Point (2008, PG-13) Vantage point I must say was confusing but not in a bad way. The story lines and faces all tied into eachother in a perfect way. Dennis Quiad, and the rest of the cast were brilliant and amazing. The emotions of the movie all came together. Pete Travis did excellent work with this movie and the cinamatography were perfect. I would tell you to watch this over and over again until it makes perfect sense because then you can five it 100% of your love.
39	The Godfather, Part II (1974, R) I really love the acting of Al Pacino but my love of his acting is only half the reason I love this movie so much. But i'm just saying that if you've seen the first part of the Godfather than this is just around 75% as good as the first. Marlon Brando might be half the reason but I don't know. The Godfatehr II has a lot of flashbacks and present parts. Al Pacino does a great job and so does the rest of the cast. Including Diane Keaton, John Cazale, and Robert De Nero. I really would recommend this movie to anyone who is okay with a violence, language, and a little sexual content.
40	The Sting (1973, PG) I haven't seen the sting in a while but what I remember of it is amazing. My opinion of it just the bits I remember is an A+. I have the feeling it was great also because I remember loving it so much I saw it twice in the same sitting the acting and directing are memorable and this moviie is a must see.
41	The Godfather, Part III (1990, R) Not as good as the first too but the cast and the theme are excellent. I love it!
42	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007, R) I just have to say that as I was listening to the soundtrack to this movie the other I realized that there is a lot of foreshadowing and writing elements that make this movie amazing. The music itself carries the movie on strong shoulders. The lyrics and the notes themselves speak louder than the characters, and they are portals into the souls of each character. Watching this movie with the mute on would take all the magic away. This is a movie that doesn't need to be seen but needs to be heard. Tim Burton has his style, we've all seen it and I admire it. It shows a stability and a trademark, it makes his work easier to spot in a crowd of sequals and remakes. Tim Burton made each building into a deep dark hole and filled the city with skum, he made the light reflect the characters evil, and their guile. The direction adds to the magic of this piece. Magic doesn't exactly sound right for this film but it is... because this movie is a magical experiance. I loved each character and knew them inside and out. Johnny Depp, I can never say a bad word about him. He was as magnificant as ever in this movie. For his musical debut this was outrageously amazing. His voice commanded attention, it forced you to listen. His body language was as always a great asset to the film. The emotional range and the facial expressions of this character are beautiful. He's a tourtured man and Depp portrays this character with such depth and pursuassion. The accent was not as great as some of the real English accents in the film, but it was great for an actor. Helena Bonham Carter did amazingly as always. Her character dripped of love and affections. Carter seemed to understand all the problems of her loving a man such as Sweeney Todd but faced them with a smile and song. She knew what she was doing, that much was clear in each step Carter took. The eyes were more expressive than the words, but each word she sung added to the impression of her joy at her occupation, or at least what her occupation becomes. Alan Rickman isn't a great singer, and he's never been my favorite actor, and in this role he doesn't stick out. His performance is an asset, but a small one. He was perfect for the role, but he isn't.... he just doesn't fit, his essence is dimmer. Laura Michelle Kelly was fabulous. Her singing (small as it may have been) added to the depression and the crazied expressions. Timothy Spall had a great performance, acting like a rat, a suck-up, it was a perfect choice to choose him. Jamie Campbell Bower has a brilliant voice and has such a murderous face. His emotions are dramaticly visible on his face. Each step is one of madness and chaos, but it's controlled, you don't know what his character will do. There is such an excitment about the unpredictability of the character. Ed Sanders also has a outstanding voice, especially for such a young person. His acting was a definate help to this film, he almost stole Helena Bonham Carter's spot-light several times, and he definatly stole the ending. Jayne Wisener, only sang once, but I had to rewind it to hear it again and again because the pureness in her voice is radiant. It's like an angel's voice has wafted down from the heavens. Her face and her air is such a loving, gentle feeling yet she has a fire yearning to spread its wings and fly. She is a lovely actress. Sacha Baron Cohen was amazing as he always is. He was funny but did it more tastefully than he has done in the past. His voice is unimaginably greater than he lets on. You would never know he had such a talent when watching him as "Borat" or "Bruno" OVERALL A STUPENDOUS MOVIE
43	UHF (1989, PG) I really like Weird Al as a singer, I've been listening to him since I can remember because my parents loved him, too. My parents actually had this movie bought and I was curious one day (about the years I started to really love movies) and I went looking through their movies, well I found UHF. I thought hey this has to be funny Weird Al is in it! And believe me it was. I don't remember a moment I didn't laugh. This has a great cast and a hilarious plot. I think this has to be one of the first really hilarious comedies that I saw when I was young. I really think that this is a movie everyone should see. Yea I'll admit it's kinda cheesey and that the special effects aren't that good but there aren't that many special effects so it doesn't really matter! Seriously see this movie, if not for me, for the sake of laughing!
44	Batman Begins (2005, PG-13) Batman Begins! it really does begin, not only a begining for the dark knight but a begining to the batman. This movie explains the entire reason for Batman and the history of Bruse Wayne. Christian Bale is in this movie and in the Dark Knight and I don't know which one he does a better performance in, because he does a brillant performance in both. He is a perfect actor, and his alter ego "the batman" is just another persona (or it atleast seems like it he's such a great actor) This part it the best role for him. I would recomend even seeing this for him, now with the dark knight your seeing it for Heath Ledger but this is good for Christan Bale! Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine are the three other reasons to see this movie. Now the Rachel in this movie is played by Katie Holmes, and she doesn't do it as well as I would've hoped. Michael Caine (Alfred) is in both this and The Dark Knight but I like him more in this movie, because he has more chanses to uses his british humor and believe me it is really funny. Everyone has a little bit of humor in thiem in this movie. Michael Caine is a really brillant actor and never amazes me with his perfection because that's his style, being perfect. Gary Oldman (more none as Serious Black) plays Gordon and does it quite well. He like most of the cast is also in the dark Knight but this isn't as good as The Dark Knight for him. But still he does an excellent job as Gordon. he is so great like the entire cast, you just get wrrapped up in the plot. Morgan Freeman has his comedy in this movie, playing Lusious Fox! I can't believe how great he is in both The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, I mean it's impossible. He is so perfect I'm surprised he has enough perfection for both movies. I really love this movie and I'm sure everyone will too. If you get confused at the begining dont' stop watching because it all makes sence in a while.
45	The Aviator (2004, PG-13) Leonardo DiCaprio was amazingin the Aviator! There is a little bit of nudity but mostly butts. So I think this is definatly a movie for everyone. Leonardo did a stupendously realistic job as Howard Hughs and he was so perfect at the decent into madness. I love this movie so much.
46	Salem's Lot (2004, PG-13) Outstanding a true horror movie! ONLY STEPEHN KING COULD DO THIS
47	Chicago (2002, PG-13) "If you'd a been there, if you'd a seen it, then you would a done the same!" --- Chicago That quote above is from the movie chicago, it's part of one of my favorite songs from the movie. This movie, if you haven't guessed is a musical. The songs are magical and flow with the movie. You'll feel like getting up a dancing. The movie has some sexual "positions", "phrases", and one scene with sex. Here is a little joke I wrote to make you realize how much I love this movie: "If you'd a been there, if you'd a seen it, then you would a "WROTE" the same!" I'm truley sorry becuase I knew that sucked but seriously you would've wrote a just as stupid a thing if you could've seen how much I loved this movie. Here is my cast description: Catherine Zeta-Jones: Stupendous! The singing and the dancing she did! And you don't even realize it's her until the credits go by. You could only see her as Velma Kelly the dancer who shot her sister and husband. SHe did an amazing job and you could watch her for hours. Renee Zellweger: I didn't know it was her, just like Catherine Zeta Jones. She was so brillant and so beliavble. That is what most people love in an actress- when they don't know that they're the actor just the character! I especially love that in an actress/actor. She was so perfect, and she made you laugh, cry, and just plain emotional. John C. Reily: OMG, I was just so used to seeing him next to Will Ferral in comedies that I ddin't even realize he could sing or really even (no offence to him or his fans but) act without will ferral. But he was stupendous and his emotions and realness was amazing. Queen Latifah: Queen Latifah was so surprising, I mean who knew she could do something as cool as sing and dance like that! I mean seriously this is a comedy but not the type I'm sure everyone is used to seeing her in. But this was way better than anything else i've ever seen her in. This was geniune. Richard Gere: Richard Gere was funny, and fun. Watching him was like watching a comedian on Comedy Central. It's just so funny and hilarious what he does. Just watch the movie and see all these tremendous actors/actrresses and sing, dance, and enjoy the ride.
48	The Remains of the Day (1993, PG) I have found a fondness to British movies recently, but the most enjoyable and loveable British actors/actresses I know are Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, and Helena Bohnam Carter. Luckily Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson are in this. AND THEY'RE STUPENDOUS! I love them and this movie. Hugh Grant is also a great actor in this beautiful movie.
49	Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004, R) This is a magical romance that keeps you begging for more. Though it is semi-confusining you will know what it means in the end. Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey are amazing and this is Jim Carreys best movie yet. Elijah Wood, David Cross, Mark Ruffolo, and Kirstin Dunst are great actors in this movie too! This movie rocks!
50	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008, PG-13) "What would you say if I told you I wasn't getting older, I was getting younger?" THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON-- This happens to have one of the best scripts ever adapted from a book. You can take a journey that never ceases to amaze and outstand you. Brad Pitt is just such an amazing actor. From when he's in his eighties to when he's in his teens Brad Pitt proves the point-- Age is just a state of mind. (State of acting in this case) And Brad Pitt isn't just a pretty face in this movie that doesn't even show his true face for at least half the movie. Cate Blanchett was so perfect for the role of Daisy. The dancing, the love, and the aging was just amazing and no-doubt-about-it the perfect actress for the role. She was beautiful and the chemistry between her and Pitt (Benjamin) was so facbolus you couldn't act like that without real skills. The amazing supporting actrors and actresses should take part in the awards that this movie deserves (and will ovbiouslhy get) The directing deserves an award as well as the acting, and make-up departments. The cinamatography matched the entire movie (meaning it was perfect). The make-up department deserves several awards for turning Brad Pitt, and Cate Blanchett into eighty-yearolds and then back again. FAVORITE QUOTES--- 1. (old man to Benjamin Button) Did you know I got hit by lightening seven times? 2. (Benjamin and then Daisy) Goodnight Daisy, Goodnight Benjamin 3. (Benjamin to Daisy about his daughter) She's so beautiful 4. (Benjamin to Queenie) Your my mother 5. (Name of Benjamin's fathers business) Button's Buttons 6. (Random man in crowd) The clock runs backwards! 7. (Captin Nick-- Tug Boat captin) I'm an artist (regarding his tatoo atristry)
51	The Pianist (2002, R) Beautiful, A Masterpiece for all the world. Adrien Brody gives a stunning performance as "THe Pianist". A world of torture and terror for the jews of Europe is transformed into a tale of survial for one man who is definide as a pianist. His musicl changed who heard it and it helped his through his journey.
52	Pay It Forward (2000, PG-13) AMAZING.. and an insy bit depressing but in the amazing and fabulour movie type of way. All the acting is a amzing especially Haley Joel Osmet, and Kevin Spacey. It was a very inspirational and motivating movie. I hope this inspires you to "Pay It Forward" as much as it did for me. The ending may be the type you hate or love... it will depress you and make you joyful all at the same time. I hope you don't stop watching it if any part of it depresses you.. because no matter what you have to learn the entire lesson this movie has to offer. And don't forget-- PAY IT FORWARD.
53	Chaplin (1992, PG-13) Chaplin was a great movie with laughs and tears. It will keep you asking why haven't I watched this yet? Robert Downey Jr. stared and started in this movie and it was a perfect beginning to the perfect actor. He was magically... all of the laughs (even though they're slapstick and I hate slapstick) made me crack up and roll on the floor laughing harder than I have ina while. Please see this movie... even if you don't like the real Chaplin or don't know much about him you will fall in love with this movie.
54	The Fountain (2006, PG-13) Beatuiful! Amazing! Hugh Jackman couldn't have been better! His chemistry with Rachel Weisz was so real, and believable. 'The Fountain' was magically, mystical, confusing, sad, extravegent, and joyful! The Magic and Mystical parts of the movie are the points in the plot and the base of the movie. The confusion I felt during the movie was because Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz played many characters from different time periods and the "flash-back"/reading/past was confusing but it made some sense towards the end, even though the ending was confusing for me. The sadness I won't spoil and the joy I also don't wish to spoil. But the extravgence was in Rachel Weisz's character and it developed in Hugh Jackman's character. It was in the message of the movie, and in the special effects that were so magically and real to the eye. The only extremely weird part was Hugh Jackman in a bald cap! It was so funny but I won't ruin that part of his character. This movie deserves 4.5 stars because of the acting, special effects, script, directing, makeup, and costumes. All of that bundled together makes a stupendous movie and this is a definatly stupendous movie.
55	Angels & Demons (2009, PG-13) Ahhsum, magnificant, gorey, perfect, thrilling, confusing, great, super, wayyy amazing, hanks-ified, and WOW! The begining was straight-forward but the middle and ending were confusing and turning faster than a fan on high.... it was so crazy and confusing and awesome all at the same time. You would be stupid not to see this gorey thrilling action religious movie starring Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor, and Stellan Skarsgard. (: PLEASE WATCH IT!
56	Annapolis (2006, PG-13) I didn't plan to see it, I didn't know what it was, and I didn't know who was in it. But my dad came home from Blockbuster one day with a movie entitled "Annapolis" and I saw the amazing James Franco's face and name on the front and knew that no matter what it was about I'd see it. And I did. And now I'm here to tell you that even if you don't like James Franco, or the navy, or actiony movies you will LOVE Annopolis. It is centered around the action it takes to be in the naval acadamy, but more than that it's an inspirational story of a man who couldn't get things right but could make friends, a love, and a journey out of the struggles and emotions it takes to be in Annapolis. He isn't smart but he is fit and his strength will inspire him to help his smarter friends with their health problems and they will help him with his knowledge. It takes alot to make it out of Annapolis, DO THEY HAVE IT? Why it's PG-13: Because of some sexual inuendo, and intense boxing sequences. Favorite Quotes: Jake Huard: He's right you know. Twins: Can I borrow your starch? Jake Huard: Look, I don't get it. Why are you still here? Twins: You want to know why I stay in this room? Jake Huard: Yeah. Twins: Cause Jake, you're my Mississippi. Jake Huard: I'm your what? Twins: People who live in Arkansas, you know what their favorite state is? Jake Huard: No. Twins: Mississippi. Cause Mississippi's the only thing that keeps Arkansas from being the worst state in the whole country. Jake Huard: I'm Mississippi. Twins: Well you sure as hell ain't California. Listen, Cole and Whitaker are so buys tryin' to run you out they forgot about me. As a matter of fact, they've forgotten about every other plebe in this whole company. That's why I stay in this room Jake. Cause if Mississippi quits, then all of a sudden Arkansas is the worst state in the whole country. Lt. Commander Burton: He also said you were the biggest pain in the ass he'd ever met. Jake Huard: I had to go back a couple times. Lt. Commander Burton: How many? Jake Huard: 34 straight days, sir. Jake Huard: What are you looking at? Porn? Twins: It's not porn. Estrada: Hey, you guys looking at porn? Twins: Yeah. Whitaker: Come on you Butterball move it! Twins: Sir, I'm trying, Sir! Whitaker: Stop trying and do it! Twins: Sir, yes, sir! Whitaker: You know what, I'm gonna start calling you Twins, do you know why, Twins? Twins: Sir, because I carry the weight of two normal people, sir Whitaker: Oh you're smart too, so you can realize that if your fat ass doesn't make it up that obstacle your fat ass will be separated! Do you understand Twins? Twins: Sir, yes, sir Estrada: Help is like sex... Take it from whoever and whenever you can get it!
57	Where the Heart Is (2000, PG-13) This was a stupendous movie. I loved every second. It had a funny, and insipiring plot with some moments of pain and sadness, but it was an inspirational movie that was perfect. The ending was amazing, and the entire movie was PERFECT. The sets, the costumes, the characters, the script, the acting, and directing. I loved all the Wal-Mart scenes. Sally Field had a small but important part in the film. She played it wonderfully even though she was on screen for I'm sure what was less than two minutes. Natalie Portman is a beautiful and talented actress. From when she was pregnant and living in Wal-Mart til she was the strong and independant movie at the end of the movie. James Frain and Natalie Portman had perfect chemistry from when they met in the Library to when he was still an akward shy librarian, to the end. He was great, believable, and inspired. Ashley Judd had a terribly sad and medium sized role. She was a wonderful friend to Portman's character and even with five kids she was a pretty and funny woman. Her kids had small parts but were adorable and so CUTEEEE! I loved them. I love Americus (I don't know who played her) she was cute from her birth to her fifth birthday. She was so wonderful and she and James Frain were so FATHER-DAUGHTER connected during the movie. (even though he wasn't). I thought it was hilarious the use of 5's in the movie. EVERY OTHER CHARACTER-- From her dead beat boyfriend--- to his manager, to the Wal-Mart workers-- to boyfriends Ashley Judd had. Favorite Quotes: (SOME QUOTES CONTAIN SPOLIERS) advertisementMama Lil: You got a man? Novalee Nation: No. Mama Lil: Then where is the prick who put you in this mess? Novalee Nation: California.

[they kiss] Novalee Nation: You tell them that our lives can change with every breath we take... and tell 'em to hold on like hell to what they've got: each other, and a mother who would die for them and almost did...

Novalee Nation: [uncertainly] I'm looking for a book on trees. Forney Hull: Trees? Novalee Nation: Yeah, you know... [makes motion over her head to demonstrate]
58	Tropic Thunder (2008, R) This movie is officially one of my favorite comedy movies that I have ever had the pleasure to see in my entire life. Ben Stiller wrote/directed/produced/andstarred in this movie and he did every single one of those jobs with perfect depth. Robert Downey Jr. is and has been one of my favorite male actors because of his intensity and absolute dive into his character. This role like many before it are not alone. He did amazingly. Jack Black was I think the least funny of the group but in this movie they were all hilarious so saying someone is the least funny is still saying they're funny. He was ultimatly a random character for random purposes but with Stiller's writing he is fun. Brandon T. Jackson is very funny-- he had his moments of absolute perfection but mostly he was just moderate to extreme greatness not as funny as Stiller and Downey Jr. Jay Baruchel I have seen before (i can't remember where) but he was funny and he's a great actor esp. in this role. EVERY cast member (including Matthew Machonahew or whatever and Tom Cruise-- both who I don't like alot) DID a fun, laughable, incerdible job. I loved the plot, the sets, the directing, EVERYTHIGNG! Your Retarded (like simple Jack (from the movie) ) if you don't see this!!!
59	Australia (2008, PG-13) I really love this movie. It's gripping, entising, romantic, action-packed, emotional, and surprisingly perfect. David Wenham looked familiar to me and now I can see he was in Lord of Rings. But Hugh Jackman was manly, muscular, romantic, handsome, (HOTTT), heroic and a perfect match with Nicole Kidman whose character showed progression through uperclass disgust to Australian courage. It was 1939 so there was little to no technology used by the characters and the lifestyle was different. They played it brilliantly. The setts were REAL! They went to Austrailia and it was beauitful. Any landscape shot, ranch shot, or anything with major background was real. The rest were done in a studio so they could have control over environment, but it is very unusual to ACTUALLY go to the place in mention. This movie is one of a kind in every-way. Now you're forced to ask why didn't it get five or four and a half stars.... but that's because the plot was a little random. You feel like it was three different movies. (It stops) But it was very great. It's PG-13 for language, moderate to medium-high voilence, and some sexual content.
60	Chain Letter (2008, Unrated)
61	Seven Pounds (2008, PG-13) It was a beautiful movie with a stunning cast, great script, oustanding direction, and a perfect plot. The truth of the matter is it doesn't make sense until the absolute last half an hour of the movie. But if you don't ask question and have a keen eye for detail you can get this movie in no time the second it's done. But take it from me-- PAY ATTENTION AND DON'T RUSH THE MOVIE. It all folds out at the end. and boy is it a good ending. It was a very inspirational and sad movie but it was also sweet and romantic. And please at the begining with Ezra please don't think Will Smith's a jerk just wait. (: It was rated PG-13 for: Mild/Moderate Sensuality MIld Gore/Violence and mild Language
62	My Sister's Keeper (2009, PG-13) Sad.... VERY VERY sad. Terribly heart-wrencingly sad. But inspirational too. I agree with the press when i say that Cameron Diaz gave one of the best performances of her life. Abigal Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva gave wonderfully hilarious, tear-jerking, dramatic, and lovable jobs. They acted amazingly. They did so perfectlly you believed every word out of the mouths and every action. The rest of the cast (mostly the three other males including the family and Alec Baldwin's character) were wonderfully portrayed but didn't stand out like lime green on black. They were more of a dark green that was present but not eye-catchingly obvious. The sets, costumes, ESPECAILLY make-up, script, and direction were all wonderful. If you think you know the ending because of the book... well I won't say more (WINK WINK) RATED PG-13 for: violence including vomit, blood, and bruises, also hospital scenes may be scary to younger children. Language Some sexual content (Mostly just kissing but one scene of moderate sensuality.)
63	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009, PG) Awesome movie! Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright WOOOOOO! (: Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, MIchael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Evanna Lynch, and Helena Bohnam Carter ALL DID STUPENDOUSLY. Great Special Effects. The screen writing wasn't the best, but the plot overall was good besides the things that they took out and put in.... IT WAS HIGHLARIOUS THOUGH!
64	Public Enemies (2009, R) I was really sad not to put five stars but the movie itself doesn't deserve it. Johnny Depp was amazing! His smirk was an amazing tribute to cockyness everywhere. He could swiftly change from cocky to coldblooded killer to in love with Billy more than anything in the world. He was tender and he was violent but mostly he was loved. The whole country idiolized John Dillinger and now the whole world loves Johnny Depp as Dillinger. I've had people tell me the movie was terrible but it was worth it to see Johnny Depp act in this stupendous performance. Christian Bale was great. He didn't do as well as some of the other actors though. I loved his accent! It was really realistic. I loved the way that Dillinger was getting in his head and that he felt bad about killing people, and even worse when he had to see them die. I really really really really love Marion Cotillard as Billy. She was gracefully, humorous, gorgeous, passonate, caring, and sweet. From the moment Dillinger spotted her it was love at first sight, and why not? She was perfect. She fell in love with the guy that would do anything to protect her anmcotillard did a n amazing job of portraying and becoming Billy. That era of clothes really suits her. Channing Tatum did a short but sweet performance. He was very believable even though his screen time was all of two minutes or maybe less. The costumes were nothing but perfect! They matched the era, they flattered the actors, and were very good quality. The sets were so true to the time and true to the place. The cinamatography was awful, along with the direction which almost ruined Johnny Depp to me. It was zoomed in to weird places, it was swirled in circles, and it was just overall terrible filmed. IT'S R BECAUSE OF: Language Violence with minimal gore Sexual content (a PG-13 amount) Favorite Quotes: advertisementJohn Dillinger: I like baseball, movies, good clothes, whiskey, fast cars... and you.

65	Cloverfield (2008, PG-13) Normally movies with ending such as this one disappoint me but the movie (cloverfield) didn't disappoint. The ending actually made me love this movie more than before the credits rolled. This movie is the American Godzilla. It had a monster that can become our monster (kingkong doesn't count) and will be our Godzilla. The camera and filming effect gave me a semi-headache but made the film and the whole idea of the film much more real and inspired. I lo\ved how none of the actors were THAT well known. Because you can't watch a movie like this and say to the person next toyou "Wow look at Johnny Depp's face!" You have to be able to get past the actor and into the roll. You have to see Rob, or Jason, or Lil, or (even though you can't exactly see him) Hudd. I loved the aspect of this movie. I loved how they started out with an introduction into the love life and relasionships of each character so you can understand future motives that drive them in the film. You see why they have to risk everything (including their lives) to save people. You see why they are driven to stand their ground. The death count in this movie is higher than any PG-13 i've seen EVER, and it's much more graphic than any other PG-13, but the language and sexual content are held down to just being innuendos and crude jokes. I love how humorous the movie is. There is almost always a comedic person or a person that can make light of the situation in a horror movie but this movie happens to be much funnier than other movies because of the type of humor. Mike Vogel I really at the begining of the movie believed he was going to be the HERO of the film/ the main character. But he wasn't. I found that to be surprising but I knew it needed to be done after I watched later. Lizzy Caplan was really good, i liked her character a lot. She was pretty and she was a really great actress for the role Odette Yustman had to be cast well because most of the movie (if not including her) revolved around her and her well being. She was the center of conversation, plot, writing, and character relasionships. Jessica Lucas was really good, she had a good emotional range and she had a great face. She was courageous and insirational among the cast. T.J. Miller had a HUGE part in the film even though he wasn't ever shown. And that was upsetting to me. But he was a big part of the emotional drama and comedy because he was the comedic relief, among the entire cast. He was the bright light even when he got attacked. And he wanted to keep the film going by keeping the camera up and running. (: Michael Stahl David was good. I liked him and he was a real rock. he wouldn't let anyone stop moving forward even when there was death, a monster, minimonsters and even explosions he had everyone go the extra mile to survive. OVERALL--- A/ A-
66	21 (2008, PG-13) This movie was fanomanal I loved everything about it. First off, it was tastefully done, the violence, lanuage, and sexual content were downplayed until it was plot. They didn't stick out like a sore thumb like in some movies, it just fit and fell in place. You barely realized it was there when you were immursed in the movie. I loved Jim Sturgress (adding him to my top favorite actors). He was perfect. His composure, body language, the way that everything seemed bigger than life when he wanted it to be, and the innonce that he could have when he so wished to have it. He played wonderfully as Ben, he could've done nothing better. He had the boyish charm, and the adult class. Kate Bosworth was great! I loved her as Jill. She was beautiful, graceful, charming, and intellegent. She made the right emotional and physical reactions that this movie called for. She had the perfect range for this part. Aaron Yoo was hilarious! He was the funnest/funniest character in this movie. He had great timing (key in comedy acting) and he had the perfect skill for joking in rough or even regular scenes. He made me laugh, and smile, and his acting skills were perfect for the part. Liza Lapira was good for this role. She wasn't my favorite, but she was definatly a perfect choice for this role. She was great at the "what? who? huh?" aspect of the role and she was pretty which was semi-required for the role. Kevin Spacey as a teacher is always entertaining. I didn't like who he turned out to be and how he played that role but I did love who he started as and was during the first half of the movie. Beautiful acting, he was smart, stunning, and very convincing. Laurence Fishburne... was so-so. He didn't surpass any expectations that were set for he'll be okay. He did the role and made it convincing, but didn't put a lot of personality into this really smart, and devious character. I loved the plot, direting, sets, screenwriting, and overall movie. The sets were great because they made Las Vegas bigger than life and bigger than it really is. It made the whole place huge and it made Boston small enough that their vegas was EVEN BIGGER. The script was well written and downplayed language. The ending was written amazingly as was the begining. The middle was great, but the ending really makes you laugh. (: PLEASE WATCH!

67	Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003, PG-13) This is one of my semi-middle-movies. Its good but the action isn't one of my favorite genres. But the acting in this movie is unbelievably extrodianry. Johnny Depp has the perfect look, body language, emotional range, and drunk personality. He can be an action hero, the drunk comdian, or the suave romeo. His piratesc looks and actions are too funny to ignore. He has a good chemistry with Keira Knightly and a good back-n-forth type of battle with Geoffrey Rush, both verbally and physical. Depp's facial expresions are priceless. Keira Knightly doesn't have a HUGE role in this one like she does in the next two but she does her role excellently. She has the down-to-earth intellegence and experiance it takes to be a pirate yet she still has the class and looks of a rich girl who doesn't know what to expect. She has a range that starts out a 0 and can change to 100 in a few seconds. Her facial expressions are great too. She has some chemistry with Orlando Bloom but the bulk of on-screen-chemistry goes to Johnny Depp. Orlando Bloom isn't one of my favorite people but he's a good actor. I've heard that his personality is cocky and arrogent and overall rude-- but on screen you can't ignore the fact that he has great skill. He can be an Elf, then a pirate, then just a regular old guy. He has a good character range (nothing compared to Johnny Depp's). His innonces and almost ignorence of what piracy is in this movie is really hilarious, but his action side is pretty well grounded. Geoffry Rush is a talented actor. He played this character with a deep understanding of the old age and the trails his character faced... but he played it with light humor and with lots of action. He didn't have to say anything for you to understand what he and his crew went through. THe entire cast of rag-tag pirates and ship-crews all played their parts well. The special effects was great. The battles, zombish pirates and ships were all believable. Its a disappointment to find out most of the movie was a green screen. But it's so real looking that it's hard to tell when is when. The direction and writing was pretty good for a movie and very good for an action movie. And the music brought a certain normally unatainable personality to this movie. Each character had a part in the music that described them and their transitions in a way and that is really cool. Even if you don't notice the music it adds alot to any movie.
68	A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (1987, R) This one was awesome! I only wish that Johnny Depp could've been in it too! Heath Langenkamp was great! She was emotional and realistic. She had conviction and passion in this role. She did wondefully as Nancy. Robert Englund is always perfect as Freddy Kruger and I can't imagine anyone else as Freddy. Patricia Arquette was fun to watch Rodney Eastman was great, and had a realism about him in his character. All the characters were great and wonderfully played. The special effects were great, the gore and violence were awesome, not over-the-top because it's from a long time ago, but it had creative deaths and violence. The directing was better then the second but not as good as the first. The writing was pretty good-- with humor and drama but the horror was present and always creativly done.

69	Frankenweenie (1992, PG) A cute Tim Burton movie, but I'm sure the upcoming short, stop animated one will be better. It was short but loveable. The actors all played more than excellently. Barret Oliver was so wonderful. He had the 'inventor' quality and the 'dog-owner' quality. His love for Sparky was more than enough to drive the short-film Shelly Duvall played her part with conviction even though it was a pretty natural part. I love how the movie's message is 'when you go on a monster hunt make sure your hunting a monster'. because it's an Edward Scissorhands/Frankenstien type movie where everyone is scared and goes chasing after the thing that's no threat to them at all. Overall wonderful movie.
70	Vincent (1982, G) AMAZING FILM! The six minute run time doesn't take away from the wonderous magic and awe that Tim Burton reaks of. Vincent Price's voice was so erie and perfect for the narreration. And it helped that the movie was about him and errie creepy things. The plot and screenwriting were excellently done. The poetic nature of the lines was what made it more or less something of Edgar Allen Poe material. Tim Burton out-did himself in this perfect movie, that stands for what differences kids have (including wanting to be Vincent Price). BRAVO!
71	Changeling (2008, R) This is an inspirational, master piece of a movie. No one could've done better than this. Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Colm Feore, Jeffrey Donovan, and Jason Butler Harner did more than amazing. And Clint Eastwood was dead on as a director. Angelina Jolie had drive, emotions that were too real to be acting, and the motherly instinct that would drive a woman to go to the lengths Christine Collins went to. The costumes were absolutly marvelous! They were real 20's/30's fashions that were beautifully designed and worn. The sets were surprisingly great! The house Jolie's character lived in was a real neighborhood from this year (just removed satalitle dishes and modern mailboxes). The sets were mostly real places in LA that still exsist, but some was of course in a studio. But still this was more than excellent. The plot-- i could comment on how this movie was increadibly well thought out and how inspired someone was, but I can't because this is a real story and that makes it more inspirational and more depressing than possible. The first hour or so made me cry! How could they not listen? But the ending and the entire movie was more than inspirational hope from Jolie's character. The way that they portrayed the murders and gore and of course the 'looney-bin' was done tastfully with class. They didn't over gore it, or exagerate it. It was done so that you didn't notice it as much as you could. The way it was put in was very very helpful to the movie. This movie is more than just wonderful it's perfect. It's the perfect capture of the story of a mother who didn't give up and never would. It's a true story about how corupte the police force was, and how much it took to bring that fact to the streets of LA. But this movie was also about a mothers love and a boys crippling fear. GREAT MOVIE! R for: PG-13 style violence (maybe... a little bit more like PG-14) Langauge (at least three F words) Sexual Content... not really sexual but you see glimpses of Angelina Jolies butt and boobs. Also there is a cavity search that's extremely akward looking. QUOTES: advertisement[last lines] Christine Collins: Three boys tried to escape that night, and if one boy got away then maybe one or both of the other two escaped too. Maybe he's out there somewhere, afraid to tell the truth, afraid of what will happen to him or to me. But one thing I know is that boy gave me something I didn't have before. Detective Lester Ybarra: What's that? Christine Collins: Hope. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporter at Precinct: [as Northcott is being taken into custody] How did you avoid capture? Gordon Northcott: Well I didn't did I? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christine Collins: He's not my son. Capt. J.J. Jones: Mrs. Collins... Christine Collins: No, I don't know why he's saying that he is, but he's not Walter and there's been a mistake. Capt. J.J. Jones: I thought we agreed to give him time to adjust. Christine Collins: He's three inches shorter; I measured him on the chart. Capt. J.J. Jones: Well, maybe your measurements are off. Look, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for all of this. Christine Collins: He's circumcised and Walter isn't. Capt. J.J. Jones: Mrs. Collins, your son was missing for five months, for at least part of that time in the company of an unidentified drifter. Who knows what such a disturbed individual might have done. He could have had him circumcised. He could have... Christine Collins: ...made him shorter? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christine Collins: Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christine Collins: I used to tell Walter, "Never start a fight... but always finish it." I didn't start this fight... but by God, I'm going to finish it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Hutchins: 'Night, mommy. Christine Collins: [yelling] Stop calling me that! I'm not your mother! I want my son back! Damn you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detective Lester Ybarra: Dig. You put them in the ground, now you can take them out. You heard me. Dig. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [first lines] Christine Collins: Walter, honey. Time to wake up. Walter Collins: Just ten more minutes... Christine Collins: Sorry, sport. You can sleep in tomorrow, that's what Saturdays are for.
72	Mars Attacks! (1996, PG-13) Super Funny movie with a wonderfully humours and random cast! Sarah Jessica Parker, Michael J. Fox, Pierce Brosnan, Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Natalie Portman, Tom Jones, Jack Black, Danny DeVito, Lucas Haas, Christina Applegate, and TONS MORE! I loved Tim Burton's directing, and the entire theme of the movie. This movie was funny from start to finish with no still moments. Always action or laughs.
73	Nick of Time (1995, R) Not every Johnny Depp gets a five star review from me. This one was super close but no cigar. The two points of the movie I didn't especially enjoy were the ending and the predictablity. You could always see how it was going to end, and mostly how it was going to to get there-- but that could've just been me. The ending was okay, but it wasn't what I wanted out of this movie. It was very anti-climatic. Johnny Depp was very very realistic and believable. He had that fatherly love and emotion. He was an amazing father and a great actor. His emotions were enormously well rounded. Christopher Walken was mean and cold. And he did it well. Walken always does the rude and evil characters well. The plot was pretty well written and made. The script was well written as well. Overall this movie was a pretty great movie in my book.
74	The Brothers Grimm (2005, PG-13) Lena Headey and Heath Ledger were soooo amazing! They had perfect chemistry, and wonderful acting abilities. I loved Lena's outdoorsy good looks, and her overall emotional range. She had great body language, and her looks were so surreal and increadablly realistic. I loved Heath Ledgers humor and his intellegent charm. He was so good looking and akward. He was a strong character with full-fledged beliefs and a great drive. He carried the character through all the trials and made it out on the other side. His relasionships with Lena and Matt Damon were increadiablly well developed. Matt Damon had a boyish charm but his character was the 'frat-boy' in the Brothers Grimm group. He didn't have the class and the smarts that Heath's character had. He was funny and intriging to watch though. MacKenzie Crook, Jonathan Pryce, Peter Stormare, Laura Greenwood, and Frantiseek Velcky were all wonderful actors too. I loved the plot and the idea of making all of the Brother's Grimm stories in one with an extra plot line to support having the brothers in the movie. I lvoed the romance, the comedy, the horror, and the drama. I loved how the plot unfolded and how realistic it all looked and felt. A TRUE MOVIE EXPERIANCE! The special effects and music were really good, and added to the plot of the mvoie vastly. I loved how it was written and directed. Terry Gilliam made another great movie. RATED PG-13 for: Violence Langguage (not much) Sexual Content (a little bit... but not much)
75	Sunshine Cleaning (2009, R) The acting in this movie was one of the greatest parts. The plot was well written, and the ending was extremly great for a movie of this kind. But... I don't know that the entire movie itself was good. It left me with an empty feeling, like I was expecting something. I think the laughs were too few and too spaced out. I was expecting a Little Miss Sunshine, not this. But I liked it. It's a confusing feeling. I loved the movie at the time, and still overall do, but Ifeel empty and like the movie left no impression me, like so many in the past have. Emily Blunt, and Amy Adams are great together and are both superb actors.
76	Adventureland (2009, R) This movie had great plot, writing, characters, setting, and an overall excellent group of actors. I loved Jesse Eisenberg, and Kristen Stewart... the chemistry and the idea of geek-meets-godess is a normal thing. I liked how the plot unrolled and how the characters developed. Everything was interconnected. Ryan Reynolds was a very deeply created character ,and he played it well. Martin Starr, Bill Hader, and Kristen Wiig were all extremly funny. I loved the way that it was dramatic and funny at the same time, but how the deep emotions were running deeper than the acting itself. RATED R FOR: Sex Language LANGUAGE Drugs
77	Step Brothers (2008, R) Nighthawk, and Dragon! This movie was super funny, but really gross and preverted too. But mostly I was just laughing almost the entire time. This movie was written so well, the plot made sense as well as was funny. I loved everything.Great movie! Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have such a great comedic genius together. And the five seconds Seth Rogen was there it was all just perfect. Adam Scott and his family were so funny. Mary Steenburgen brought the real family feel to the movie. RATED R FOR Nudity (just for like five seconds) Sexual Talking (ALOT) Cussing (ALOT)
78	Mickey Blue Eyes (1999, PG-13) This movie was pretty funny. I loved the plot and the self-depricating humor Hugh Grant holds. Hugh Grant is a very instilling actor. He gives you his mood and he gives you his humor. You understanding his English humor. You understand his character. His and Jeanne Tripplehorn's chemistry was great. Tripplehorn was a great actress and held the perfect character details. James Caan was perfect for this role and he had the emotional range. I loved the writing and the comedy. Hugh Grant's trying to be a mafia man was more than funny, it was laugh out loud, lets rewind and see it again funny. RATED PG-13 FOR: Language Small amounts of violence
79	A Walk to Remember (2002, PG) The movie is a romantic vision of wonder and awe. It holds messages of faith and perfection. It has a pure and gracefuly central message. The acting is a pipe for the vision to flow through. Each choice in setting, acting, directing, cinamatography, music... they all fit with the story and help it move forward more than anything in the world ever could. The writing is a wonderful adaptation and it helps the character unravel and change, the quotes and conversations have such meaning and power behind them. This movie is a once in a life time thing. Favorite Quotes: Dean: If there is a greater power, why is it he can't get you a new sweater? Jamie: Because, he's too busy looking for your brain. Jamie: [to Landon] You're my angel.

Landon: I don't want to just be your friend. Jamie: You don't know what you want. Landon: Neither do you. Maybe you're just too scared that someone might actually want to be with you. Jamie: And why would that scare me? Landon: Because then you wouldn't be able to hide behind your books, or your frickin' telescope, or your faith. No, no, you know the real reason why you're scared?

And you wanted to jump off the roof and fly? Jamie: I was so angry at you for making me come down. Reverend Sullivan: Honey, if I kept you too close it's because I wanted to keep you longer.

80	Once Bitten (1985, PG-13) Jim Carrey had a real charm and humor above and beyond some of his more recent endevours. He actually looks more than average, and has a more clean-cut young look that suits him well. Lauren Hutton and Cleavon Little were hilarious and suited their characters more than well, they screamed of exactness. Cleavon Little had the small yet unique humor that made him an important part of the movie, and Lauren had a sexieness that added to the thrill of the vampiric diferences. Karen Kopins was a normal actress but a great dancer. I loved the dance offs and coreography of the movie, and the way it was written. The music and direction added to the comic take on one of the scariest subjects in history-- Vampires. Brilliant a must watch comedy.
81	Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994, R) Andie MacDowell was an average actress with a great chemistry with the rest of the cast and she was a well written character. Charlotte Coleman was overly funny and had a great hidden charm beneath her over-flambouyant outside. Hugh Grant was extremly funny and charming. His akward personality and self-depricating humor was all perfect for his character. John Hannah, Anna Chancellor, David Haig, David Bower, James Fleet, Corin Redgrave and the rest of the characters were all extremly well cast and had their own unique charms and personalities that made them more than pleasurable to watch. Great music and script. I loved the direction and the character development. Rated R For: Sexual Content Language A MUST WATCH ROMANTIC COMEDY
82	Keith (2008, PG-13) I didn't have high standards for this one, but it turned out pretty great. The acting was pretty dramatic and perfect. I loved Jesse McCartney's Keith, it was a wonderfully created character and life. The script and the settings combined to create an epic story for the ages. We're here in a yellow truck a road ahead of us and nothing but opportunities HILARIOUS AND TEAR-ENVOKING. Up to the standards of A Walk to Remember!
