Still Alice:

Gut-punch of a movie. 50 year old diagnosed with early onset familial Alzheimer's Disease. Tough to watch. Really tough. Highly recommend.

And Clown, a local theater did that with Animal House last year. Still worth it to see on the big screen.

The 30th Anniversary showing of The Princess Bride is playing on a few screens around town. My gf and I are hitting up the show in a few weeks at the Rosemount theater. It turns out that they get mucho dinero because it's a "special event". $12.50/ticket.

Anti-Social:

Brit movie. Up and coming graffiti artist who is getting looked at by art galleries gets pulled back a little due to his con-man/smash-n-grab robber brother's life.

It was an okay action/drama. Theme obviously being both are rebelling against authority, just using different methods. It's a decent time-killer.

Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Of course he is. We all saw Episode III.

But c'mon, it's got Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and one of my all-time favorite "hey, it's that guy" guys, Sean Whalen. I'll admit, I'll watch bits of Twister when ever I surf onto it. Yesterday, as a matter of fact.

"Its the sucks zone!"
"LOSER! Move on!"
"He's gonna rue the day he came up against The Extreme, baby. Bill, I'm talkin' imminent rueage."

Yes, awful acting is rampant in that movie. If you want to watch it to laugh at how terrible it is, that is something I would understand.

I think I watched it a year ago...I mean it is cheesy as heck but I still love me some Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt! And come on Carey Elwes with a horrid accent and acting so awful it makes his turn in Saw look Oscar worthy

I disagree. First, I never read the book or saw much of TOS. Second, it's been so long that a huge chunk of the audience never saw the original.

Enjoy your time watching Twister. It's on some random channel 3 times a week.

I remember enjoying it when it came out, but after a few months of my wife wanting to watch it every time it is on (which really is 3 times a week), I was permanently burned out on flying cows.

So It has been out in both book form and TV miniseries for over 25 years now, there aren't much for spoilers at this point.

It.

B+

Spoilers:

Given that, the two extra kids were included because they helped really cement the Losers Club beyond just the trio of kids who had their core, (assumed) long-lasting friendship prior to the show. It was setup to show that Pennywise really does prey on more than just those three kids who might get sidetracked with the idea that one Biff Tannen's crew was lacing their Hi-C drinks with something funny when they started seeing things.

"'Nother cow."

"Same one, I think."

Among the greatest lines in movie history. I love that movie so much I can even tolerate Helen Hunt. (c.f., Spaceballs, Rivers, J.)
