Loved Gettysberg. A phenomenal and engrossing movie. Fully intended to love Gods and Generals. It just didn't have it for me. It was o.k., but nothing special. Similar in many ways to the books they were based on. Michael Sarra's "The Killer Angels" which is the book Gettysberg was based...

I generally would never rule a movie out just because of an actor or actress. However, my wife and I both can't stand to watch Brendon Frazer. There's just something about him. We were in NYC about two years ago and had the opportunity to go sit front row at Saturday Night Live, very exciting...

Michael Mann is a badass. I really which he was making movies more frequently... but perhaps his taking so long is the reason his movies are so good.

I don't know who this "freedom alliance" is, but... it's pretty well known that Hancock (director) set out to make the most historically accurate version of the Alamo to-date and most experts who have seen the film agree that it is. He had numerous historical experts on site throughout the whole...

Does anyone here own either of the Chesky surround DVD's to show off their speakers/system? A friend of mine is just setting up his HT (with an SVS PB2+) and I wanted to buy him a demo disk of some kind. These seemed pretty cool but I'd like an opinion prior to laying out the cash... DR...

how many seasons were there altogether? I seem to remember the last one not being as good... was there a reason for this - change in director or something? Thanks for the info.

Duvall - Western. One shouldn't really have to say any more than that. Lonesome Dove was a GREAT story and series. A GREAT all around movie. The DVD is 4:3 and the image is incredibly soft. (A product of late '80s television production.) It takes a little to get used to, but once you are into...

You know why women have such bad depth perception? They are always being told that 4" is really 8"... ;)

Caddyshack

Just a couple of thoughts. Did anyone else find it somewhat ironic... that boss goes to all that trouble to talk Charley out of killing that guy and then at the end of the movie the crowd runs around killing the last few bad guys remaining? that boss plugs the baron with about 4 shots...

I saw this film over the weekend and although I will not say it is the greatest Western I have ever seen, I will certainly say it is the best since Unforgiven came out in 1992. (That is a freakin' really long time since a really good Western came out my friends.) In opposition to some of the...

DJ Magic Mike and the Royal Posse - "DJ Magic Mike" Track 10 - Feel the Bass (Speaker Terror Upper) Wow. :eek: :eek: :eek: Can't really recommend the disc for its wonderful music, but that is not what you were asking about now is is?

I believe the Stand is out on 2 discs. I do not think Lonsome Dove is (but I could have missed something).

You are certainly not "way" off base. Like you, this is one of my favorite westerns, but the current DVD completely blows by current DVD standards. HOWEVER, we must keep in mind what we are dealing with here, which was a movie made for television in 1989 and not for the big screen. I...

Saw it this weekend (Houston). It was the first movie in a long time I've seen where the audience actually applauded DURING (after one of the races) and AFTER the movie. Those movies are rare, this one will be around for a while. Also interesting to note that I saw this at one of the huge...

It also could be all about the money - Keep in mind that Rocky IV is still the top grossing sports movie of all time... $300.4 million in 1985 (followed by Jerry Maguire $274 in '96; Space Jam, Rocky II, Waterboy, Days of Thunder, League of their Own, Remember the Titans, Rocky III...

Two words: Duvall. Western. I'm there. Plus Annette Bening is one seriously good looking woman! :D

Small feet... WAIT! STOP! WHOA! I'm talking about the Duke! Sorry.

She is seriously hot. Nonetheless, that is a lot of airbrushing (or a lot of makeup).

I'll tell you what I think this entire thread boils down to for the Sci-Fi channel... Whether you like the idea behind the re-make or not... Whether you like the idea of a modern retake on BSG where Starbuck has evolved into a hot-mamma blonde with large mammary glands or not... The...

Honestly, you might think about putting some kind of reflector on the bottom of your TV so the glare from the carpet doesn't impact the picture on the screen. :D

Consider me one who took no offense to Michael's post either. I'm still not sure after re-reading the original post how it possibly could have been taken that way. Regardless, great performances by both Peck and Devito. If this ever comes out, it will definitely be a purchase for me.

Ron, I don't think you have any reason to apologize. I think the film is clearly overlooked now. Just because a critic remembers it from '86, doesn't mean that anyone else does. I constantly list this film as one of my favorites of all time and my friends look at me with glassy eyes because they...

Most of the posts so far have been from people who initially disliked the movie and dislike it still... I believe the thread was "good movies" that become bad due to dating. (Not "80's movies that were bad in the 80's and are still bad now.") To me that also rules out pictures that are bad...

Outstanding book! Tobey Maguire as Red Pollard?? After reading the book about Red and the other jockeys of the time, he just doesn't seem to be it (especially after Spider-Man). Maybe I'll be surprised. Hopefully, they will not make the movie too sappy. (Although after seeing the trailer...

Mark from College Station: Which Blockbuster do you go to in B/CS?

Oh yes. Definitely "Class" - Andrew McCarthy (geek) and Jacqueline Bisset (mmmm, mmmm, good) I also remember sneaking in to see "My Tutor". Oh yes, Caren Kaye (35-23-34)... Class is certainly the better of the two as far as movies go, but both are pretty bad.

As usual, I sent in my monthly e-mail to Blockbuster:

The plain and simple fact is that mall lease money is astronomically expensive compared to sole M&B stores. Sam Goody, Suncoast and other mall media outlets made money based on their location: people would use them based on their convenience. I remember reading a case on these stores once and...

The fact is that Moore KNOWS that people view his films as documentaries (e.g. presentation of facts - even if the audience knows those facts are one-sided), and he KNOWINGLY distorted actual events to make them be something that they weren't. I have enjoyed all of Moore's stuff (including...
