Movies

Movies like this make me believe that one day someone just might buy one of my screenplays.

I can’t wait to see this.

CNN is offering their list of the top 10 romantic moments in film. Casablanca is number one on my list. I am trying to decide what others I would include.

What do you think?

In my life I have learned that there a few things that hold true. Cub fans are serious masochists, the Olympics were better when they came every four years and Red Sox fans were blessed with the appearance of an aberration similar to Halley’s Comet. Once every hundred years or so they win a championship.

I also believe with perfect faith that LA will again experience a sports year like 1988 in which the Dodgers and Lakers won the championship and even the Kings were exceptionally competitive.

That brings me to the topic of the moment, movies. David smartly remarked that a person’s taste in movies can be quite revealing about whether they might be the kind of people you want to hang out with. Now much as I’d like to spend a few minutes discussing the list of movies he came up with I am going to go a different direction and refer back to another old post called

Too Many Sequels

I won’t rehash the entire thing here, but suffice it to say that I am still irked about something. During the past few years we have been inundated with remakes of old movies. Very few of them have been any good. With all of the so called creative people around you would think that we might see something new.

If I remember I’ll have to come up with a post that expands upon this further.

I love action movies and am a long time fan of Bruce Willis. I am definitely going to check this out. One of these days I’ll have to blog about Die Hard and why it means a bit more to me than other action flicks.

Anyhoo, if you are interested here is the first eight minutes of the movie and some additional clips.
