The Sting

Charles Durning on Paul Newman: "Acting with Paul...what? There didn't seem to be anything there. Then, in the rushes, it was like I wasn't even there."

For all that I find the thesis so very disturbing, this ranks among my top 5 favorite Woody Allen flicks.

"Yo, bros before hos, man!" Ugh, why do I expect anything different from a Michael Bay movie?

The Little Mermaid as seen through Hayao Miyazaki's eyes.

Two Lovers

It's not possible to watch this without incorporating some of Joaquin Phoenix's troubles into the character. I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

Dare I say it? As good as the book.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Surprisingly touching. America Ferrara's diatribe against weight discrimination is also spot-on.

Dune (mini-series)

You can't fault those costumes. You can sure fault the acting and direction.
