WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979)  1/2 (First Viewing) The first 10-15 minutes are really good and suspensful as are the last 5 but other than that, it was pretty much a "find-him-and-track-him-down" movie. I liked the 2006 remake better because it was more suspensful throughout.

Has anyone here seen Disturbia? It's on HBO in about a half hour. I didn't know it was a remake of Hitchcok's "Rear Window." Anyway, I thought the previews looked pretty good.  Anyone see it? TIS

CLIFFHANGER  1/2 (First Viewing) I guess this is as close as Sly's going to get of his own version of COMMANDO/PREDATOR. And while not on the scale of either of these two, it is probably one of his better films outside of the Rocky or Rambo characters (although my vote will probably always go to DEMOLITION MAN). John Lithgow was quite enjoyable as the villain.

I had planned on seeing Beowulf (2007) in Digital 3D at the new Marquee Cinema here, but never got around to it. But I did watch the DVD tonight. For some reason it had slipped my mind that it was 100% CGI, and that turned me off in the beginning. While impressive, it's still not live action. And when it's 100% CGI, it's all that much more noticeable and distracting. But then I let that issue go and just started watching it for what it was. A timeless tale, one I barely remember from high school, but this wasn't a direct retelling anyway. I thought they reworked the story well, in a more believable (if you can call it that) fashion that made more sense than the original. And certainly less boring. I enjoy this genre, but certainly like LOTR and such more. But the acting was good, and Angelina Jolie, well -- that's when I wished it was live action. 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

ALONG CAME A SPIDER  1/2 (First Viewing) Definitely a step down in the suspense and story department from KISS THE GIRLS. As with the last film, very few surprises and Morgan Freeman seems to play the same old character.

MYSTIC PIZZA  1/2 (First Viewing) An enjoyable tale of three young women from Connecticut who find love and heartbreak. One of Julia Roberts first roles and Matt Damon's first movie.
