godfather
Reviewed by nanas for The Godfather at 2010-03-07 00:34:38
the trilogy moves my soul. i can watch them over and over and over again. Brando starts sexy, Pacino continues sexy, & Garcia erupts sexy. hope there is no continuance. to do so would sully the story.

The Greatest of All Time
Reviewed by JohnnyD for The Godfather at 2009-01-02 12:59:33
Muhammed Ali in boxing. Wayne Gretzky in Hockey. Michael Jordan in Basketball. The Godfather in Movies. All of the above are the undisputed best ever in their fields. This film is the greatest of all time. Without a shadow of a doubt.

Red Herring
Reviewed by shanahan for The Eagle Has Landed at 2008-10-13 17:05:04
This is a rare case of a very misleading plot summary by the Hound. Duval's and Sutherland's characters are secondary at best. This is the story of a German officer (Caine) punished for defying SS officers rounding up Jews, who is offered a chance to redeem himself and his squad by taking on the mission of killing Churchill. It's a good yarn, nowhere near as good as Sturges' best, but deserves and accurate summary.

One of the Best Lucas films ever
Reviewed by lrademac07 for THX 1138 at 2008-04-14 13:36:03
I've seen THX1138 more times than I've seen Star Wars. I feel it is one of the best Lucas Films ever. Sometimes I wish Lucas should of expounded on this movie and made sequels or variations of it as he did the Star Wars Saga.

Remastered version looks amazing...
Reviewed by KHL for THX 1138 at 2008-03-24 16:30:34
I never saw the original THX before this version came out. Lucas did 'remake' some parts of it, ala the re-release of the original Star Wars Trilogy. Whether you agree with that or not, this movie looks and sounds amazing (see the interesting interview with the sound designer, evidence of what can be done with just the primitive equipment of 1971!) Lucas' version of the future, with mandatory state administered drugs, God as a spectral image in a phone booth, and all love outlawed. Duvall and Pleasence both deliver fine performances.

Character-driven, cross-generational appeal
Reviewed by K-hill for Sling Blade at 2008-03-10 17:12:55
Surprisingly appeals to a wide audience regardless of its R rating. The character-driven plot is great; acting is brilliant-- Yoakam is a special treat.

"Mmm-hmm," watch this film!
Reviewed by PeanutButterJellyTime for Sling Blade at 2008-03-10 13:39:45
Billy Bob's sensitive portrayal of Karl will stay with you, long after you finish your "taters" and "potted meat." With a stirring soundtrack by Daniel Lanois and an amazing supporting cast, Sling Blade is definitely a movie worth seeing.
