Favorite line from Resevoir Dogs? You shoot me in a dream, you better wake up and apologize!

That, and Quentin's theory on the meaning of Madonna's Like a Virgin. Heh heh.
Mr. Pink's rant on why he doesn't tip in the restaurant is hilarious no matter how many times I watch it. Also, Mr. Orange's story about selling weed....such great dialogue in that movie.

City Lights. Uh, Chaplin, duh. Great stuff, lots of that old Trampy humor and pathos. But the best part is having my 13 year-old son sit and dig it just as much as me.

Larceny, Inc. Edward G. Robinson doin his gangster schtick in a fine comedy from 1942. Woke up late the other night to pee (God, this getting older deal sux), saw this movie coming on, ended up watching the whole schmere. Good stuff.
The classic Chaplin and Keaton movies knows no generation boundaries. They are just great. (though i prefer Chaplin before Keaton if i had a gun to my head and must choose one of them)

Yup, me too. Chaplin understood that to be truly gripping over time an artwork had to embrace the human condition--humor and pathos, side by side.

can i just say, if you ever thought liam neeson would have made a great Roland - can i suggest you watch a movie called 'A Monster Calls'

this is a Emo version of BFG/ a christmas carol- very dark, but beautifully done, with a gravely voiced monster brought to life by neeson. i half expected neeson to say thank you sai after his talk with the young lad conor.

deals with some very poignant aspects of dealing with loss.
This film broke my heart. I loved it. I'm a bloke in his 60s, and I sat in the cinema sobbing like a baby. Wonderful, wonderful film.

now it looks like a movie about refugees on the march from syria - and i bet a few passed it by because the advertisement team got it so fecking wrong .

i judged a book by its cover and let it go - until last night, and boy was i pleasantly surprised.

Z sci fi / day of the triffids/ i am legend in U.K with great back drop and a 28day later feel .

give it a go all you walking dead fans

let me know if i was wrong

I really liked the book. I had no idea a movie was already out, i thought it was still in the planning stages. The trailer looks cool...

Childhood of a Leader
Trailer looked great; actual movie, not so much.
It was a dark film...I don't mean subject matter. The cinematography was so dark sometimes you couldn't see what was going on.
The story could've been interesting but I was so bored, my mind kept drifting to my to-do list. The kid did one bad thing, but the other couple "bad things" were pretty much what a spoiled 7 yr old does; nothing that would indicate he'd turn into a psychopath (which they never even go into).
Maybe it's just me, that I'm used to dealing with a child with real behavior problems, because this kid seemed like a walk in the park compared to mine.

The one thing about the movie I thought was absolutely amazing was the score. The music was chilling. If I had just heard the movie and not watched it, I'd think it was one of the scariest films of all time, the instrumentals were so haunting.

Great book! Haven't seen the movie even mentioned here (U.S.) in months.
