An action oriented futuristic Japanese cartoon featuring Spike Spiegel, green haired bounty hunter and all around bad-ass. In this series, and later movie, the galaxy has been conquered by man, and many moons and planets in the solar system have been made habitable. It is between these planets that Spike and his partner Jet Black hunt for interstellar bountyheads using good old fashioned martial arts and a few bullets.. Action or science fiction enthusiasts should try it on for size. Fun Fact: The episode with the insane gun-clown is probably the coolest thing I�ve ever seen
The Dark Crystal
Jim Henson steps away from Kermit for a slightly different muppet movie. A quasi primitive world is lorded over by two major species, the Mystics and the Skexis. When the Mystic elder sees his death looming, he calls the young Gelfling.. uh.. Bob to his side and tells him he must restore the dark crystal. What struck me most about this charming movie is the sheer creativity. Swamps where everything is alive, little villages of potatoe people, and huge evil black crabs that do the Skexis� bidding. For sci-fi and fantasy fans alike, or just someone who needs a good babysitting flick. Fun Fact: Instead of the usual black bars, the widescreen segments of the videotape have neat little stonework drawings.
Donnie Darko*
A somewhat creepy mind trip. It follows high-schooler Donnie Darko on his quest to discover the secrets of time, space, and his six-foot bunny rabbit savior, Frank. Set in the 80�s, it�s got plenty of retro rock/pop music, including a remake of Tears For Fears� Mad World. The Director�s Cut version is longer and cooler, with all the deleted footage edited back in, but the origional DVD has all the footage too. It�s just separated from the movie. A good movie to see with your goth and emo friends. Or your hippie aunt. Fun Fact: Star Jake Gylenhaal�s real sister plays his sister in the movie.
Eight Days a Week
An entertaining flick. High school graduate Peter decides to spend his 18th summer sitting under his crush�s window. A Dork meets Girl-next-door story. It�s got plenty of teen drama, including breakups, creepy neighbors with hacksaws, and pornographic watermelons. An enjoyable popcorn experience for your garden variety nerd. Fun Fact: Introduces the word �Dildonics� to a new generation of perverts.
Evil Dead I, II, and Army of Darkness
The master of B-Movies, Bruce Cambell, stars in this trio of goofy horror shows. I guess they are kinda creepy at some points, but a lot of the scare is ruined by director Sam Raimi�s ridiculous sense of humor. Not that that�s a bad thing. Plus it�s all really cheaply done. The thing that I love about these movies are all the video techniques they use for the different effects, like mounting the camera on a motorcycle for a chase scene, and plenty of claymation (I love Claymation). If you�re not a fan of horror flicks, see this one. It might change your mind. Fun Fact: Donnie Darko takes his girlfriend to see Evil Dead.
Fight Club*
Edward Norton stars as an office worker with a sleeping disorder. Relief finally shows up in the form of Tyler Durdan, a soap salesman with an attitude played by Brad Pitt. Together, they form a ring of underground boxing clubs that meet every week. From there things go completely ape shit. Excellent industrial techno from the Dust Brothers fleshes out the soundtrack. This movie is kinda hard to do justice in words, and I still haven�t mentioned the testicular cancer societies, political undertones, or the lovely skank played by Helena Bonham Carter. You have to see it. Anyone with a taste for blood should see this movie. Fun Fact: You never actually find out what Norton�s character�s real name is. And Tyler shows up four times before his official entrance in the airport.
Fooly Cooly
An insanely random Japanese cartoon. It�s got everything - guitars, robots, mopeds, preteen drama, and curry. The fun starts when two huge robots hop out of young Tarokun�s head and start beating the shit out of each other. It continues when a pink-haired, yellow-eyed alien bashes one of them ass over teakettle with a guitar/shotgun (complete with a chainsaw style pullstring motor). Frickin� RE-diculous. An entire seasons worth of money blown on six genre-bending episodes. Sweet Japanese punk music by The Pillows is worth a listen to all by itself. If you like guitars, robots, mopeds, preteen drama, curry, OR fire, you should see this series. Fun Fact: Each episode throws in a random five minute segment with a completely different animation style than the rest of the series. Including a South Park mock up!
Fresh*
The story of an adolescent African American boy in a drug ridden ghetto. It chronicles his strife through chess matches with his father, drug runs through the back alleys, and dog fights. The story culminates when he begins taking down the local crack dealer ring. All by himself. An incredible story with smart filmmaking. I spiraled through all the emotions in this movie. A movie to be seen by anyone who grew up in the slums. Fun Fact: This movie made me cry. Only three movies ever made me cry. Now that�s powerful film-making.
Full Metal Jacket
Stanley Kubrick�s take on the Vietnam war and the U.S. Marine Corps. Beginning with boot camp and ending up deep in Vietnam�s Hue City, It�s a trip into the process that turns young men into trained killers. The boot camp dialogue had me laughing my ass off at some points, along with the great musical score, direct from the sixties, including the Mickey Mouse Club themesong. On the other hand, the combat sequences were heart-wrenching and serious. It�s not exactly Shakespeare, but it IS a great movie. People who know or are related to Veterans need to see this movie. Fun Fact: The movie�s hard ass drill sergeant Lee Ermey was a real life Marine Sergeant.
Gladiator *
Russell Crowe stars as effeminate Roman badass general Maximus. Well, actually he�s a Spaniard, but back in the day Rome was everywhere. Anyway, after leading the Roman armies to conquer the Gauls, Maximus kinda gets screwed into a full time gig as a gladiator in the arenas. Turns out, with his military history, he�s quite good at fighting, and crowd pleasing. Joaquin Phoenix co-stars as incestuous wanna-be Caesar, nemesis of Maximus. Really big scale historical action and drama. Also has some great, sweeping musical scores (that are now invading other movie trailers). If you liked Kingdom of Heaven, Troy or even that (*bleh*) Alexander flick, try this bad boy on for size. Fun Fact: Joaquin Phoenix is a really good actor. See Gladiator, Signs, The Village, Ladder 49, and then Walk the Line and you�ll see what I mean. He completely changes his whole demeanor in each movie.
Good Will Hunting
It�s been a while since I saw it but I remember it was REALLY good. It�s even got Robin Williams in it. It�s like, the story of how a guy is discovered to be a mathematical genius, but he isn�t really interested in being the next Einstein, and goes into therapy� Um� Look, just see it. The segments with his friends are great. You should watch this movie with your girlfriend. Cause it�s emotional. Fun Fact: I can�t come up with anything for this one. Sue me.
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly*
Probably my most favoritest movie. Clint Eastwood stars as the coolest western movie hero ever. Also stars Eli Wallach as the Mexican bandit, and Lee Van Cleef as the angel-eyed bad guy. As the civil war rages in the wild west (?), these three compete with each other to find a secret stash of money hidden in a cemetery. Ennio Morricone set the standard for awesome western movie scores in this picture. You know that music you hear spoofed in so many cartoon stand-off scenes? That was from this movie. Anyone who likes action, westerns, great music, or Clint Eastwood should see this flick. Fun Fact: GB&U is a Spaghetti Western; it was filmed in Spain by a bunch of Italian guys (headed by Sergio Leone) and later dubbed in English. It�s funny to hear Clint talk in the Spanish dub.
The Hobbit
As my first adventure into the realm of Tolkien, this cartoon totally rocked. It�s got a great old-school painted vibe, and more spiffy sound effects than you can shake a stick at. Plus, the first and best voices of Bilbo and Gandalf, Orson Bean and.. That other guy. Any way, they�re both dead by now. Big fat wave of nostalgia, this movie is. Enjoy the Disney style sing-song music by Glenn Yarbrough and Maury Laws. It�s a dead breed. Watch this with your little siblings. They could learn a thing or two about quality cartoons. Fun Fact: Gollum is way cooler in this movie than in the new version.
The Jacket
Adrien Brody and Kiera Knightley play two lost souls in this tweaky flick about mental institutions and time travel. Gulf War veteran Jack Starks roams the country until a strange incident lands him in an asylum where he is drugged and tossed into a creepy morgue locker. From there, things get weird. Liked Donnie Darko? Here�s his older cousin Jack. Fun Fact: Look for piss stains on the jacket itself.
Kill Bill 1 & 2
These movies made me happy. Quentin Tarantino once again weaves a great soundtrack, backwards storytelling, and plenty of blood into a raucous over the top action movie. It�s got swordplay, gunplay, kung-fu, and even a little anime. The Bride, portrayed by Uma Thurman, is introduced when her boss gets his squad of assassins to kill her, her husband, and her unborn baby. Thing is, they only put her into a coma, and when she wakes up, there�s hell to pay. Lots of fun, and plenty o� gore. For those who don�t mind a little retro cheesiness with their karate shotgun action. Fun Fact: Quentin Tarantino also did Resevoir Dogs, parts of Sin City, From Dusk Til Dawn, and Pulp Fiction (also starring Uma Thurman).
Life As A House
Another one I haven�t seen for a while. A home designer discovers that he has terminal cancer and only a few months to live. He decides that before he dies he wants to finish building a house. In the process, he gets to know his son better and falls in love with his ex-wife again. I think. Something like that. Anyway, it�s a heart felt and touching movie, laced with some humor. See it with the family. Minus the little ones. Some adult themes.. Fun Fact: The part where he goes around the office smashing his little building models is FREAKIN� AWESOME.
Little Nemo
No, not Finding Nemo (also a good movie, by the way). Little Nemo is another old cartoon from my youth. It�s about a kid who falls asleep one night and is whisked off to the magical slumberland, haven of safe dreams. However, all is not well in Slumberland! The Nightmare King and his army of dark goo are closing in on Nemo and his friends. Features include a few Disney-type songs and a whole lot of pajama. See this inbetween Donnie Darko and The Hobbit. Fun Fact: Iccarus is the coolest flying squirrel ever. Hands down.
The Lord of the Rings (2002)*
Of course I gotta give Peter Jackson some love. The most complete modern tackling of J.R.R. Tolkien�s landmark book series, these three movies combine live action, CGI, claymation, animatronics, hobbit mayhem, and ORLANDO to create the most nerded about thing since Episode 1. There�s so much detail and care put into this movie that I actually didn�t mind too much the parts they cut out from the book. Unlike that fourth Harry Potter movie� No elves? Come ON! Anyway, if you happen to be the bug under a rock that still hasn�t seen this movie, run on out and buy the 100+ hour super special directors edition that comes with a free severed Orc head. It�s on sale now at K-Mart. Fun Fact: Ralph Bakshi also made a cartoon version of the first two books, and the people who did The Hobbit made a cartoon version of the last book, but they aren�t quite as impressive as this extravaganza.
The Matrix*
Ah yes, the matrix. This movie showed me the magic of bullet-time, one liners, and sunglasses. Internet hacker Neo is caught up in an extensively mind raping quest to discover if the world he lives in is real� Or not. This movie probably has the most spoofed scenes I�ve ever seen. Kung Pow, Scary Movie, even MTV make fun of the bullet time sequences. Still, this is an awesome achievement in the world of cinema. HOWEVER, the sequels, Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions� Well, I�m divided on this. They where okay movies by themselves, but compared to the first one they weren�t all that. I was kind of hoping for something more, y�know, cool. I dunno. Anyway, definitely see the first one. �Cause it rocks. Truman Show and Star Wars fans alike can get into this one, just before they go and see Cowboy Bebop. Fun Fact: Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) is also in The Lord of the Rings, where he plays elf elder Elrond. Destroy the ring, Mr. Anderson.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Perhaps the best of Monty Python's various ridiculous offerings. It documents the quest of King Arthur and his round table as they quest for the holy grail, except in this version the 10 or 15 knights and most of the other characters are all played by 6 strange British guys hopping roles. Various random cartoons intersperce the hilarity. Also, look for the Knights Who Say "Ni" 'cause they're awesome. Fun Fact: Monty Python was a group of UK actors who decided to make zany movies in the 70's involving various dance routines, out of place thoughtfulness, and strange cartoons. Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.
Ninja Scroll
Another Japanese anime. What can I say, I'm a fan. In this cartoon, ninja badass Jubei Kibagame wanders the land collecting bounties, kicking butt, and being honorable. Suddenly, he finds himself wrapped up in a mission to save Japan and the rest of the world from an evil warlord Gemma and his seven henchmen. Aiding him in this adventure is the sexy ninja Kigaro and the old geezer Dacuon. Various cool sword fights, loads of gore, and some kinky stuff makes this one a definate NO for the kiddies. The rest of you, keep it zipped. If you liked Cowboy Bebop's stylish action, or Kill Bill's awesome violence, you'll love this. Fun Fact: Jubei has fishing-line attaching his sword to his arm so that if it is knocked away he can pull it back to him. Everyone in this movie seems to have something cool up their sleeves.
Office Space*
Peter Gibbons has a problem. Every day at the office is worse than the last, his relationship is going nowhere, and now his girlfriend wants him to talk to an occupational hypnotherapist. Funny thing happens at the Therapy session. You gotta see this movie. It's just a whole lot of fun watching Peter stop caring about his responsibilities, and eventually stop caring about the law. Co-stars Jennifer Aniston as the cute waitress, and Stephen Root as the annoying yet pitiable Milton. Festive party music and tasteful rap (never thought I'd say that but it's true) complement the visuals marvelously. If you ever wanted to flip off your boss, you should see this movie. Fun Fact: Office Space is based on director Mike Judge's Milton animated shorts you sometimes catch on old Saturday Night Lives. He also created the shows Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill. Plus, he makes a cameo in the movie as Jennifer Aniston's boss.
Payback
Mel Gibson stars as the honorable criminal known only as Porter. As Porter makes his way up the local crime syndicate's chain of command to get his "share" of some stolen money, it becomes all too clear that this isn't going to be a quick and painless errand. Hookers, pimps, hitmen, crooked cops, and Lucy Liu's convincing dominatrix make up the cast. That's the great thing about this movie, you end up liking all the badguys. An action packed romp into the criminal underworld. No patience for the Godfather? Try things the American way. Fun Fact: If you steal a wallet from someone who looks like you, apparently it's not too hard to use their ID and credit cards to buy stuff. Neato.
Pirates of the Carribean*
This movie reintroduced Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom to the world of teenage girls. Depp stars as captain Jack Sparrow, an insanely awesome (literally) pirate captain who has been booted off of his ship, which has been taken over by the cursed likes of his skeletal crew. 'Course, the real story arc starts when young Will Turner (Bloom) decides to rush off after said ship when it takes his hearthrob (Kiera Knightley) as booty. Deserted islands, massive naval battles, and good old fashioned plank walking included. The best thing to come out of Disney since ol' Walt died. Fun Fact: This movie is based on a ride at Disney World. Who knew? Another strange Disney coincidence: Disney produced two or three Peter Pan movies, all involving pirates, and there's another movie about the guy who wrote Peter Pan starring Johnny Depp. That merits a definate "Kooky".
Platoon
Another excellent vietnam war retelling, this time from the heart of the jungle. Charlie Sheen is fresh meat on the field of battle as he gets to know and respect his two commanding officers, Sargeant Barnes (Tom Berenger) and Sargeant Elias (William Dafoe). As his squad falls apart, he realizes he must not only face a war with the enemy, but also within himself. This movie won 1986's Best Picture award for good reason. Look for Johnny Depp in one of his first teensy roles. Watch it with Full Metal Jacket and make a war movie double feature. Fun Fact: Charlie Sheen's father, Martin Sheen, also starred in a movie about the vietnam war called Apocolypse Now. You outta see that one too.
Porky's I, II, and III
Stupid highschoolers get into a lot of trouble. I love these movies. They illustrate teenage life in the golden age of swing music, practical jokes, and TIGHT jeans. I swear I seen enough wads in this trilogy to last my life. Anyway, um... The basic story is there's this redneck asshole Porky who runs a brothel in the Florida backwoods. When a few Angel Beach kids try to infiltrate it, they get thrown out on their asses. Few misadventures later, they decide to get revenge and take his operation down. Seriously funny stuff here. I'd advise against watching this with your parents, what with dirty jokes and exposed privates abounding, but you might be surprised at how much they'll laugh. Fun Fact: Porky's II, while having absolutely nothing to do with Porky, is still a worthy sequel to Porky's I. And it deals with important themes like religion, racism, and congress. Besides, Porky is back in Porky's III.
The Princess Bride
A classic tale of heroics and adventure, told from the perspective of a grandfather telling his grandson (that Savage kid from The Wonder Years) a bedtime story. Cary Elwes is a cute farmboy turned dashing hero run off to rescue his one true love who must marry jerk-off prince Humperdink against her will. Not exactly a comedy, but remarkabley funny nonetheless. If you liked Robin Hood - Men In Tights, you'll probably enjoy this movie. Plus it's got Andre the Giant! Fun Fact: This was one of my brother's favorite movies back in the day. Oh, and R.O.U.S.'s are awesome.
Princess Mononoke
A Hiyao Miyazaki film. If you've seen his other works, you'll know what to expect. A Japanese animated feature with heavy themes on nature vs. man. Young prince Ashitaka must leave his home and all he's ever known to search out the cure to a curse that is slowly eating him alive. This movie had quite a few moments that made me go "Sweet!" like the parts when his cursed arm goes all muscley and cool. Anyway, another awesome anime. See it with a little one if you must, but watch out for some copious blood. Fun Fact: Miyazaki also created Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Castle in the Sky.
Pulp Fiction*
Another Quentin Tarantino piece. In this installment of crime and violence, there�s a lot going on. You�ve got your hitmen Samuel L. Jackson, and John Travolta. You�ve got your doped up hottie, Uma Thurman. You�ve got your big ass mob boss, Ving Rhames, and you�ve got your down and out boxer Bruce Willis. Lotta good actors in here. And, as always in Tarantino films, the story isn�t told in chronological order. Loads of humor, gunplay, �gangsta shit�, and even a little dance routine. Good stuff. See it. Fun Fact: Also making an appearance in this movie, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel (who are both in Tarantino�s first big movie, Resevoir Dogs), and Christopher Walken.
Scarface*
The quintessential Cuban gangsta movie. There�s The Godfather for the Italian mobsters, there�s Pulp Fiction for the Los Angeles breed, Payback for Chicago�s lawbreakers, and then there�s Scarface for the Florida crime scene. Al Pacino kicks ass and takes names as he climbs up the ladder of drugs and violence, finally culminating in the infamous shoot out at his red carpet mansion. This is a movie that will put hair on your chest and veins in your teeth. See it. Fun Fact: If you played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and never saw this movie, pull your head out and go watch it kiddo.
Sin City
From the pages of Frank Millers revolutionary comic book comes an action picture as stylish as it is dramatic. The way the movie is shot in black and white, with occasional injections of color, really makes it FEEL like a comic book. I was impressed. Plus, Frank Miller just has a way with story telling. Here there are no simple heroes, no winning battles, no happily ever after. Every body gets a good beating or two. On top of that, an all star cast and guest directing from Quentin Tarantino. Kick Ass. See this if you like comic books and gore. Fun Fact: In order to achieve the contrasty outlined effect to keep the characters and backgrounds defined and separate, The ENTIRE MOVIE was shot on green screen and then the backgrounds where edited in. I couldn�t believe it. LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS! An achievement in film effects history.
Snatch
A stylish look at London�s stolen diamond business. Well shot, super cool, and bloody hilarious. A lot of snappy British dialogue, excellent music, and Brad Pitt�s unintelligible Irish gypsy. This movie snuck up on me by surprise, there�s more characters and plot twists than a gang of dogs chasing a hare. If you�ve seen Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, here�s more of the same awesomeness. If you like gangsters, boxing, Pikeys, or dags this is the movie for you. Fun Fact: one pig can eat about 2 pounds of uncooked meat every minute. They can crunch through bone like it was butter. DO NOT piss off pig farmers.
There's Something About Mary*
Starting with an embarrassing prom date fiasco and ending with an all out battle for the love of one beautiful woman, this movie will have you laughing and sighing in equal measure. Seriously funny stuff, interspersed with serious, dramatic flair. Learn to love it. Stars Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon, and that British comedian who does a really good impression of an American. The Farrelly brothers really got started with this movie. Save it for a nice, romantic, cheerful evening. Or when your drunken friends come over. Cameron Diaz is hot. Fun Fact: Originally, the movie was supposed to be set in Boston, but the directors moved it to Rhode Island so they could have their friends and family as extras during filming.
The Sound of Music*
Fraulein Maria sings too damn much. In the world of the nunnery, song is devoted to God and his will. So what is to be done with her? Why, send her off to be nanny for some admiral�s children! Seriously, this is a landmark musical and visual achievement. It brings the romantic nun-meets-hardass story to life with classic songs you�ll remember forever. Really, I can�t get rid of �em. The ending might sneak up on you, though. This is one of those movies you just GOTTA see once in your lifetime. It might even charm the kiddies. But they�ll probably fall asleep. Fun Fact: The Sound of Music was originally a play. My dad saw it 16 times while he was in the air-force. I grew up with it.
Straw Dogs
Dustin Hoffman stars in this� Uh, well, I don�t know what to classify it as. It�s kind of a thriller, kind of a drama, kind of a survival story, and also kind of a porno. So it�s got a lot going for it. See, American Hoffman moves into the UK countryside with his lovely English wife, and the blokes he�s got working on his new house don�t seem to take kindly to him. When they push ol� Dusty over the edge, well, there�s hell to pay. It�s a worthy enough story, but the B-movie British film making put me off me tea. Still, worth a shot if you like Dustin Hoffman. It�s awesome watching him snap. Fun Fact: I got nothing for this one. Only saw it once. But the jacket art with the glasses breaking looks pretty cool.
Super Troopers
Freakin� Hilarious. When someone has seen this movie, you will know. They will undoubtedly say things like �I�m freakin� out, man!�, �Liter is French for give me some fuckin� cola!� or �Who wants a mustache ride?� A ho-hum story about some highway patrol officers who uncover a drug smuggling ring is jazzed up with great pranks, memorable one-liners, and a large helping of Farva. If you ever wanted to hump a fake bear in public, see this movie. Fun Fact: Perhaps the most quoted line from the movie, �The Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries!� is actually a joking homage to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. �Course, the student body of Monroe High is largely unaware of that. He he, dumbasses.
Taxi Driver (2 pictures)
One of Robert De Niro�s first roles. A New York cabbie sees a little too much back seat madness and decides to arm himself for battle. A great story about standing up for what you believe in. Alternatively, a great story about shooting people and being awesome. If you think this movie�s great, you should see what it would do to a woman�s face. Fun Fact: If you didn�t get that, see the damn movie already. And then add your own follow-up.
The Thief and the Cobbler
This cartoon rocked my world. Up until this point, I had been weaned on high budget, flashy Disney fare. But once I had The Thief and the Cobbler in my hands, whoah. The artistic style used in this movie is unlike any I have ever seen before or since. The way a tiled floor becomes a walled courtyard, or the way a messenger rides up with thirty arrows sticking out of him, or a man flying with wings attached to his arms becomes an unexpected head trip when the landscape zooms by upside down. I love the way the visuals in this movie sneak up on me in strange new ways. On top of that, it�s actually quite funny in some parts. Hey, the young-uns will love it too. It�s got a healthy supply of sing song bits. Kinda like Aladdin on acid. Fun Fact: The main bad guy speaks ENTIRELY in rhymes. Also, notice how Tac�s complexion changes once he leaves the city with his new girl.
Three-Iron*
One�s an honorable criminal who breaks into peoples� homes while they�re on vacation. The other is an unhappy housewife who�s tired of being lonely all the time. In this Korean movie, two lost souls find their way in the confusion of a modern world. Not necessarily an action packed flick, or a tear jerking one, it somehow walked the line of both in my mind. And there�s an unexpected twist two thirds into the film. Even prison walls can�t keep the lovers apart for long. You gotta see it. Fun Fact: Not big on subtitles? Don�t worry! The two main characters don�t say a SINGLE word to each other until the very end of the movie. It�s amazing how much they communicate in silence.
Twelve Angry Men*
The story of a divided jury and their road to agreement. Powerful, emotional and dramatic, even though it�s entirely dialogue and body language driven. Jack Lemmon was the only name I could remember, but I recognized more than a few of the dozen jury members. See this movie before performing your jury duty. It might learn you a few things. Fun Fact: I think this might be based on a play, but I�m not sure.
Twenty-Fifth Hour
Edward Norton stars in this smart, cynical look at everything from organized crime to high school teacher infatuations. It�s another one of those movies where after it�s done you just sit there and watch the credits because your still thinking about all the stuff in the film. If you saw Snatch, think of this as a more American take on stylish crime motion pictures. Fun Fact: Norton must have an S&M thing going on. Even after Fight Club he�s still itching to have the crap beat out of him. You�ll see what I mean.
UHF
A goofy movie about the joys of running a two bit UHF tv station. Star Weird Al Yankovich jumped at the opportunity to spoof not only music, but also Indiana Jones, Rambo, The Beverly Hillbillies, and lots more. Something of an odd comedy, but still entertaining. It�s even better than a twinkie weiner sandwich. Fun Fact: Hey, You made it to the bottom of the page! Congratulations, you�re crazier than I thought.
