Funny Games does torture us, but in a way that we have never been tortured or abused before. The kind of movie that really, really makes you feel like you're there, going through what this unfortunate family went through. An extremely well-acted, well thought-out movie about evil. A unique and stylish horror movie.

The Marx Brothers' second movie, filmed in a studio in Astoria, Queens. It has more than enough scenes of trademark humour from the brothers to compensate. It's also impressive that the film hasn't aged much, given it was made in the early 1930's. It does feel stagy at times, but the Marx's timeless comic style is still fresh after all these years.

This 1973 movie was the first movie to use rock and roll music all through the soundtrack. The film introduced such stars as Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, Cindy Williams and Charles Martin Smith.

Earth vs. The Flying Saucers is one of those classic sci-fi movies from 1956. It opens with some guy droning on and on about the UFO problem the world is having, describing this and that over footage of people in airplanes ducking gigantic saucers and meetings of military leaders.

Kristen Bell is cute, and so is her romantic comedy, When in Rome. But then so is her co-star, Josh Duhamel, and even Don Johnson in his dotage is lookin' good. That's what romantic comedies do. They make us believe in the magic of love and the durability of beauty, both of which elude most of us eventually.

"Gray Matters" managed to strike a good balance between being sweet and simultaneously funny. A sweet romantic comedy about a woman who realizes how much she matters.

Dr. Sam Loomis, portrayed by Donald Pleasence in 5 Halloween films, was the man who refused to stop chasing Michael Myers.

In the movie A Simple Plan, Jacob Mitchell (Billy Bob Thornton), is less educated than his brother and clearly suffers from an almost paralyzing shyness and social ineptness. His simple dream is to use his share of the found money to regain the family farm, lost in the effort to settle their father's massive debts.

My favorite quotes from some of his movies

Jason Reitman has done again. The director of Thank You For Smoking and Juno puts real life out there in an incredible way, where we all laugh and then walk out of the theatre thinking about what is really important. A film with a message that's entertaining. Up In The Air is a movie that is over before you want it to be.

The Village is about these people, this community living in fear, not the monsters of which they have been warned; it is about the psychology of fear rather than a horrific portrayal of it. Shyamalan's pattern of there being twists in the plot, but this time there are several of them and they occur sporadically throughout the film.

Enjoy these sound clips of an excellent comedy film that will make you laugh and feel good. An otherwise average comedy that gets a boost from fine performances and a few strong laughs.

Working on some of my favorite sound bites from tv and movies. Work in progress.

What's a mad scientist to do when his fiancee is hacked to bits in a lawnmower accident? Why, salvage the head and use Times Square streetwalkers to build her a new body, of course! Outrageous horror-comedy proves you can take the heart out of the hooker, but you can't take the hooker out of the heart.
