I thought this was just another romantic comedy but then.....


Trailer

1. You can't wait for the newest one to be published.
2. You try to read it slowly, to savor it, but you still reach the ending too soon.
3. You can't wait to turn the next page, to see what happens.
4. You try to guess the ending, but are still surprised when you read it.
5. You enjoy reading it the second time as much as the first.
6. The second time you read it, you pick up details and nuances you missed the first time.
7. You picture the main character (RJ) in your mind's eye
8. Sometimes when you picture RJ, he starts to look like you.
9. You imagine yourself in the same situations as RJ and what you would do.
10. You finish the lastest RJ novel, imagining how he's going to top it for the next!

Feel free to add more.

An HBO film, directed by Billy Crystal.

I don't know what *61 will mean to the younger members here, but for someone like me who watched the papers every day to see who was ahead in the home run race between Mantle and Maris, it was a time machine.

I was a Dodger fan as a kid, but I remember rooting for the Mick. In the film I was rooting for Maris.

I think anyone who loves (or, as in my case, once loved) baseball will love this film.

Has somebody ever seen The Outer Limits?


A few days ago I bought DVD box-set. It's very classical TV series. SFX, makeup, studio set were very cheap, but I liked it. Especially, actors are great. Martin Sheen, Matin Landau(Ed Wood), Robert Culp(The Greatest American Hero), Donald Pleasence(Helloween), Edward Mulhare(Knight Rider), Bruce Dern(Silent Running)....

All stories are science fiction(Alien's invasion, Mutants, Wars, Virus, Time travel, another dimension...). It's similar to The Twilight Zone, but The Outer Limits has sometimes preachy.

This drama is about 40 years ago, but this is not old to me. I've never seen it before, so this is new to me.

CRISSCROSS synopsis is now up under the books section of the site! You can find it at http://www.repairmanjack.com/books/ccross.html

Just picked up this dvd off the bay,can't wait to see it again.For those of you unfamiliar with the movie its based on an old Richard Matheson book I AM LEGEND.The central character is a scientist who is the last man alive,or so he thinks.Check it out some time.Fans of Wilsons fiction should enjoy it.

I think Charlotte Rampling and Alice Krige would fit the bill quite nicely

k the e

I saw a screening of this last night. Not for everyone (about as dark and violent and sexy as can be and still keep an "R") but definitely for me.

I've got nothing to liken it to because I've never seen anything like it. (And most likely neither have you.)

Someone brought up Lost this morning but the thread seems to have disappeared with the recent database merger.

Anyway, curious if anyone noticed the book Sawyer was reading: A Wrinkle in Time. Do you think this is forshadowing?

Stay away from this movie!!! Written and directed by the director of Akira, considered by many to be the turning point of anime in the States, Steamboy is nothing but pretty pictures. The characters are boring, the story non-existent, and a plot so... so... *sigh*

As my friend stated, "I could shit better crap." This takes the top spot on my list of absolutely horrible movies ranking up there with Operation Condor and Battlefield Earth, the only other two movies I've walked out of.

If anyone was thinking of seeing Steamboy think long and hard about the choice. It's two hours you'll never get back.
