Score: Before you see this version of *A Christmas Carol* remember: you have options. According to IMDB, about 50 "Christmas Carol" movies have been released through the years, dating back to the earliest days of film. This is not the best of those versions. I prefer "A Muppet Christmas Carol" and the 1984 "Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I like these...

by John Walters Have you ever seen the film Patton ? There's a terrific moment in which the controversial U.S. World War II general, played by George C. Scott, is surveying a battlefield in north Africa. Patton peers through his field glasses, observes the German tanks getting in formation, and laughs knowingly. "Rommel, you magnificent bastard," Patton chuckles. "I read your book!"...

By Blanca Snow For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. These days you can stay at home and get movies from a movie download site. Below is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites. The Last Run: Average story of aging gangland driver who has to make one more run for his self image. Incredible photography shot by Sven Nykvist....

Here are emails I mostly agree with: The Bogart "The Maltese Falcon" was the THIRD version of that story put on film and undoubtedly the best. Also, the 1973 Richard Lester version of "The Three Musketeers" was not the first by a couple and in my opinion, clearly the best as well. I think the best chance of a good remake is when it is based on a classic book or novel rather than...

" The Exorcist III " ( William Peter Blatty , 1990) An odd little experiment in horror, more compelling than William Friedkin 's chest-thumping original , * with more humor—Blatty had written some 60's screenplays for Blake Edwards —and some genuinely unnerving moments that may not make one jump out of one's seat ( well, one thing will ), but will certainly creep one out. It begins...

Just wanted to give folks a heads-up on the latest Bennet v. Romanoff opinion thread --it's not that we're ignoring these, we just try to save the act of promotion for, well, actual news. Be assured we'll continue to promote all such diaries than contain any. This thread's purpose, as community stalwart twas brillig so correctly put it , is for "coverage" of the "coverage." We'll...
