"It’s been a long time since I watched a movie aired on commercial television. As a kid, however, I watched enough TV edits of films to have seen both Fast TImes at Ridgemont High and Sixteen Candles about a thousand times each before I knew that either film, in its original cut, features nudity. As far as language goes, though, any kid could figure out what curse words were really being mouthed by the actors instead of overdubbed words like “stuff,” “funsters” and “mothercrusher.” But a young person watching Weird Science may have been seriously confused, because much of the censored dialogue wasn’t even inappropriate for television. So, when words like “nipples,” “fart” and “bang” are replaced with “pimples,” “puke” and “hit,” we kids of the ’80s just simply had to abandon TV edits forever. Therefore, I’ve never had the pleasure of hearing a coarse phrase from The Big Lebowski turned into the bizarre line “This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!” According to a ... "

"Andrew Sarris may be one of the most influential American film critics, but here’s a claim, located within his recent review of In Search of a Midnight Kiss, that may not hold up to some of his better-remembered theories: “Even when we confront 40-year-old virgins of either gender, movies refuse to show them compensating for the lack of a sexual partner. There is lasting shame involved in this spectacle.” Not to ever, ever profess superiority over Sarris, but I’ve nonetheless compiled today’s list as a way of proving the man wrong. There are actually tons and tons of masturbation scenes found in non-porn movies, from the low brow to the high brow, from as indirect as the boy wizard playing with his wand under the covers in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to as direct as the non-simulated masturbation in Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs and John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus (which would probably feature my #1 pick, from the sound of it, if I ev "

"Tone and context. That's the problem with this movie, and it's all Amy Heckerling's fault. The material is funny and the actors are great, but the execution results in an rambling and uneven film. I saw this movie as part of my new quest to see popular films that I have never veiwed, to avoid those conversation moments of "You've never seen Napoleon Dynamite?" Other films on this list include Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Garden State, Sixteen Candles, The Notebook and Armageddeon. I hope they are better made than this movie. Fast Times at Ridgemont High is based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Cameron Crowe, who also adapted his work into the screenplay. Crowe, then working as a journalist, posed as a California high school student for a year and recorded his experinces. I have not read the book, I have a strong feeling it is better than the film, because the movie's central problem is that there is no point of view. Heckerling simply records what happens, which is occ ... "

"Sean Penn before he became a terrorist loving freak. Spicoli’s interactions with Mr. Hand are fantastic. And what red-blooded American boy didn’t get excited when Phoebe Cates came out of the pool? "

"2.50, less than the cost of renting a movie, for a movie a) starring Humphrey Bogart b) directed by John Huston c) with Peter Lorre in a supporting part and as I later found out d) co-written by Truman Capote, how could I resist? I'm glad I didn't, because while Beat the Devil is a mess of a movie with a plot that's both ludicrous and not quite there, the lines and the performances are wonderful. I want to see more of Jennifer Jones now, who's hilarious here, and what about this short bit by Peter Lorre on time:"Time. Time. What is time? Swiss manufacture it. French hoard it. Italians squander it. Americans say it is money. Hindus say it does not exist. Do you know what I say? I say time is a crook. "

"Summer movie seasons come and go, but there was something the summer of 1982 ranks amongst the greatest. What made 1982 so special? Well, while your standing in line, waiting for the third recycling Spiderman, Shrek, Pirates or Oceans, think about what you could have been going to your, most likely newly opened, suburban Cineplex. These were the movies of 1982:May 14: Conan the BarbarianMay 21: Road WarriorMay 28: Rocky 3June 4: Poltergeist and/or Star Trek: The Wrath of KhanJune 11: E.T.June 25: Blade Runner and/or The ThingJuly 9: TronJuly 23:
