  • I have seen this film so many times. It's one of my favorites, but not necessarily because of the film's famous car chase. In fact, for an "action" film, there is little action here. McQueen draws his gun and fires it only at the very end. That's it…

  • Has anyone else seen this little gem? Wait for it, wait for it...or just skip to the 3:20 mark.
  • One of the few films I literally walked out on. I don't know what was dumber: the film or me buying a ticket to see it.
  • Some time ago, someone posted "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper. That is by far my #1, as well. So I thought I'd insert my second choice:

  • ProfJoeButcher wrote: » I think CR is liked by people outside the Bond fan community mostly because it's not very much like a Bond film. It's generic-ness is a big part of why I have relatively little regard for it. And I've mentioned this else…

  • I echo a lot of what has been said about CR's drawbacks. Much of it is the production design, as it looks quite dated. The embassy scenes are particularly bad. Everyone harps on the "Ford ad" so no need to go further on that. And Campbell's work in …
  • Damn good movie. I now have a deeper love and respect for Naomie Harris.

  • Saw Cruella this past weekend. Good movie. More importantly: packed house. I think we're on our way back (fingers crossed)! We're a little over 3 1/2 months away! I am starting to get excited again.
