"Sam, you will be missed. Your show works so well not only because it is two inteligent people sharing thier views on movies, it is because you both don't always agree on the pictures, but you both have a respect for the others persons opnions. You are rarely condesinding towards each other. I am cautiously optimistic that this format will continue is Sam's absence.Good bye Sam, welcome Yoko...i mean Matty. " [More]

"I'd start with Brad Pitt as my portagonist. I think he is a good actor and he would help bring in the bucks. Then I would go with Gary Oldman as the villian. Then let's add Scarlett Johansson as the love intrest. Easy on the eyes, and a great actor to boot. You HAVE to have Steve Buscemi in there somewhere. Then in Tarintinoesque fashion, I would bring Mandy Patinkin back from the box office dead. " [More]

"GREAT LIST! I defense of my pic, Val Kilmer as Doc Hollidy is one of my favortie characters of all time. Especially in westerns, the line between good and bad is skewed. Butch and Sundance were basically thieves and murders. But they did it with pizzazz and that made them the good guys. On the other hand, in a movie like Shane the good guy is almost saint like. The villians in The Magnificent Seven (if placed in the proper context) could be the anti-hero / good guy in a different western. So basied on morals, or lack of them, Doc Holiday was not a good guy. But Val Kilmers repersentation of him, his manorisms, his personality, made him a great character and a good guy to me. " [More]

The Princess Bride

The sign of a great film

"I had an epiphany tonight while watching a movie. The mark of a truly great film is that it get the viewer invested in it and motivates them. Examples of this are Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. After watching this you can’t help but want to be a better American. It makes you believe in something. When the theme of the film is dark like Se7en, the connection you make with Brad Pitts character at the films climax can not be understated. You have to put yourself in his shoes, and it forces you to ask yourself questions you normally wouldn’t. A few other examples are: the gut wrenching feeling you get every time Bogey watches the plane take off in Casablanca (the definition of bittersweet), white knuckling the arm chair when the bolder almost flattens Indy. I still get goose bumps when I hear, “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” As a movie lover and a wanna be film maker, I have had this feeling many time watching ind ... " [More]

Eraserhead vs. Pi

"I just watched David Lynch's Eraserhead for the first time tonight. I found myself drawing many comparisons to Daren Aronofsky's Pi. There is the obvious link that they are both filmed in black and white. However the use of sound or noise to fill the empty void is in both films. The white out is in both. The sultry neighbor also present in both pieces. There is a unity in the grotequeness of the pictures with the dipection of the "baby" in Eraserhead being dicected, and the brain on the subway in PI. There is a drilling into the skull in each picture. A mechainacal devation in both.I enjoyed Pi more, but have tremendous respect for the work of David Lynch and his first feature seems to have been apperciated (copied) by many of the top directors working today.
