Colin - Excellent decision. And to keep you on the straight and narrow I saw the first SAW much to my chagrin. A complete and utter waste of precious life. Also to Scott - - in regard to MANK. Ditto. Was back East when it came out and looking for a movie to watch with Mom. We settled on MANK.

I know they’re popular and have made a great deal of money but I have zero desire to watch any of the Saw movies. All the reviews I’ve read (even the positive ones) make these movies sound repulsive. On second thoughts, I’ll change my statement from “zero desire to watch” to "highly positive

Mopes - My greatest moment at the movies was walking down the aisle at a packed house for the 8 PM show of That’s Entertainment II already in progress. Astaire or Kelly were dancing like crazy on screen and I looked up at the action as I walked. At that moment, I tripped in the dark. Every eye

3 quick stories: * Ever get embarrassed by a movie critics love? Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers was that film. Critics lost their loads praising it - with Ebert calling it, "some kind of masterpiece" - as if he HAD to like it. Ebert was a "people's critic," so I trusted him. It was

That's funny Scott. The first time I saw Fantasia was in college in about 1974. I fell asleep about 15 minutes in. I kept waking up every 20 minutes or so and tried desperately to keep my eyes open but to no avail. My best friend, who was my college roommate was a huge Disney fan and went

I’ll probably get some heat for this one, but…. Back in my younger days when I regularly patronized movie theaters there was only one time I ever got up and left a movie before its conclusion. The offending title? “Fantasia.” Yes Disney’s animation masterpiece. My sincere apologies

Dear Mopes - My personal worst movie that I would have to be bound and gagged to watch again was INGA. It was a 1968, Swedish, adult semi-art film. I actually went into the theater to see Hells Angels On Wheels and for some terrible reason they mis-billed the attraction out front of the

Glenn and Greg I had the «pleasure» of watching “Salo, 100 Days of Sodom” on the big screen. Certain scenes have stayed with me for over 40 years. I guess you’d have to say it’s a memorable movie. Martin Von: MoPo List Im Auftrag von Greg Douglass Gesendet: Donnerstag, 13.
