| Quote: | "...reminds me of a movie i saw once" |

The dreamer, the unwoken fool,
In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow. The love of ages fills the head. The days that linger there in prey of emptiness, Of burned out dreams. The minutes calling through the years. The universal dreamer rises up above his earthly burden. Journey to the dead of night. High on a hill in Eldorado |

Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood
Unrated
i understand that there are scads of cameos in this of old hollywood...wish i'd've seen it...damn!
The Rocker
PG-13
standing in front of an audience is this generation's date with marilyn monroe: a dream come sooo true, dude. and so yet another rags-to-riches story of a garage band making it to the big leagues (so reminiscent of tom hank's "that thing you do!" that i had to slap myself...or was tom himself slapping me...), only this one's "twist" is that the spark to fame and fortune is an ex-old-school-heavy-metal rocker's second chance. surprisingly...it's a balanced effort, with not terrible music, and with a smile or two included. i liked this.
Hamlet 2
R
this is one of those films that pretends a sort of artsy aesthetic cool that if you don't agree w/it, if you don't get it, then it's because you ain't w/it. please don't even start to be bamboozled. it's a sham. sham artsy. sham cool, only leaving real "don't get it". catherine keener (who is one hot sex bomb!) seems to be the only one here that knows that's there's nothing here, and so she acts accordingly. simple human decency---and my bottle of that is just about out, i'll admit---forbids that i mention anyone else in the cast, or the director, or the writers. okay, okay, i'll mention elizabeth shue, here only as an obvious objet d'desire, and is that. "comedy heaven"? if true, then i'm goin' zombie.
Death Race
R
by the book standard summer fare: "they killed his wife, stole his child, and now...they're gonna pay!" joan allen has a little fun tweaking the overdone genre, statham delivers seething macho "i'm gonna get you sucka!" testosterone, and ian mcshane is the wise ol'timer who takes the hotshot punk under his wing. more of the same...
aaaaahhhhhh! frankie avalon as the potato bug (making fun of some brit group nobody remembers)!!!
this is the big one! everybody's in it to win...and it all happens down on the sands, baby!
why me all the time ?

a perfect movie...does she love him, or that other guy...was she for real back then in paris, did she really love him or...or what? you never really know, just like in real life...she keeps you guessin, and rick? she makes him a man, dammit. the first, and best, cast of the usual suspects put in their obligatory appearances toward the advancement of understanding all things human...love it, love it, love it

The Searchers

the side of the duke nobody wants to see, the side that's mad at you! lil marion morrison drops the nice guy next door bit and shows us the duke all the pantywaist liberals really knew was there all along...and the big guy refuses to back down (doh! so what else is new?!), even when it burns him up, too...ouch. the closest the duke comes to method actin' in my book, and brother, is it ever goin' to be a bumpy ride! the duke's ugliest is simply his best.

Blade Runner

there's nothing to say that hasn't been said: simply a great, great blending of science fiction and film noir

Hallam Foe (Mister Foe)
by K JJamie Bell has to be one of the best up and coming young actors in film today. His performance in Hallam Foe is riveting. A weird and heartfelt drama that touches upon the Oedipus Complex. A strange film which was well directed and has top notch acting. It will not be for all viewers, but if you find yourself interested in the beginning, it will hold your interest through the end.
A little strange, a bit weird, yet a well put together little film....

Loved the Art and Artists quiz. I'm reminded that Jackson Pollock is known by some as "Jack the Dripper".

hypathio7 (Administrator)Hey, I just created a new slate of movies in my studio (Hypathio13) on FantasyMoguls.com for the three month season running September through November. And I just joined the league The Academy (http://fantasymoguls.com/movies/ultimate/group/view?groupSeasonId=8008) to compare my fantasy picks with other studios. Come and join me playing Ultimate Movie Moguls!
ps I got the job a little over a year ago because I was sending in lots of requests for movies that were missing from the site. Then after college I sent in an email asking if they had any jobs available, and that I could add and edit all the missing movies myself if they needed help.posted 1 day ago -

Clockers
by AndreaRe-watched this film and found myself just as caught up in it as I was the first time. Spike Lee gives us a realistic look into the dead-end lives of inner-city youth. Great cast - I was impressed with the performance of Mekhi Phifer (a new-comer at the time), but Delroy Lindo is downright scary in his portayal of Rodney.
Hey, you should really see this!
