A Beautiful Mind-Viewed July 20, 2002

OK, I'll tell you right from the start, I'm not a big fan of Ron Howard.  Yea yea yea, he's a nice guy and we loved him as Opie and Richie Cunningham blah blah blah.  I just think his movies are kind of boring.  Good, but ultimately boring. Except Apollo 13, which I can (and do) watch over and over and over. more

Ali-Viewed July 22, 2002

I like Muhammad Ali.  I don't know if he was the best boxer of all time, but he was a great boxer.  I like Will Smith.  As a matter of fact I once met him at lunch.  And I like Director Michael Mann.  I loved his "Last of the Mohicans" and I loved the way Miami Vice looked.  I did not like this movie. more

Duets-Viewed July 24, 2002

There are some words that conjure images unrelated to the meaning of that word.  For instance, "infamy" conjures up for me, December 7, 1941, A day that will live in infamy.  "Plastics," conjures up the scene in The Graduate.  Well "Duets" reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skit where Phil Hartman does a dead on imitation of Frank Sinatra in the recording studio for his Duets album.  It also reminds me of Joe Piscipo and Eddie Murphy imitating Frank Sinatra and Stevie Wonder in a duet.  ("You are black and I am white. You are blind as a bat and I have sight.")    This movie had nothing to do with Frank Sinatra.  But I liked it.  And I liked it a lot. more
