    Scary movies - Discussion

    Marvin, I can relate to what you say about childhood memories coloring how you viewed those movies. This reminds me of going to see some movie as a kid (don't remember the details) but I saw the preview for this old B-flick called 'It's Alive' - about mutant babies that, I don't know, eat people...

    *** Official "IDENTITY" Discussion Thread

    Well, I saw this one too and I am just not clear on how things took place. Apparently, the killer was sentenced to die for events that took place just a few years ago, when he was an adult, so there appeared to be some time-jumbling going on in his head, which kind of makes sense if the reason...

    Chessy 80's movies

    Kathleen, since you brought up the topic, there is one movie that is very dear to me that usually gets a blank stare when I bring it up - it's called 'Surf II', and it involved Eddie Deezen trying to take over the world with this mind controlling soda. One of Eric Stoltz's early movies, as kind...

    I've drawn a complete..... Blank!: The Grosse Pointe Blank Appreciation Thread.

    You know, this is yet another example where I hear things completely different from someone else in a movie - I always thought the waitress says 'Here's your nada omelette' but your way makes sense too! How cool is that? Great movie though, I never get tired of it!

    Distrurbing reading? (Empire Magazine's top 50 movies of all time readers poll)

    The one that really shocks me is 46 - I thought I was the only person who loved Grosse Pointe Blank! But really, I think if you take a step back and look at the list, it's a lot better than it could have (and maybe should have) been. I am suprised Citizen Kane rated as high as it did, seeing...

    Why MEMENTO disappointed me

    Hey Doug: Sure, I'll let you in on my questions - One, where did the name 'John G' originate from? I assume it was fed to Leonard by Teddy, but it's odd to me that he would do so since his own name was John G as well. If I were Teddy, I think the inherent danger in that kind of connection...

    Why MEMENTO disappointed me

    Hi Jon: I've no interest in flaming you, I certainly respect your disliking a movie that I have enjoyed a great deal. But, as you can no doubt guess, I take issue with several of your statements. I hear again and again that the reverse chronology is a gimmick, a sleight of hand trick to...

    Memento question ***SPOILER ALERT!!!***

    Hi everyone - I'm another big fan of this movie, caught it twice in the theater and just picked up the DVD. I've seen a lot of the same questions popping up, and I've thought about it myself: what really happened to Leonard and his wife, and how did she die? I know you can check out the...
