hi!
i'm a fundementalist right-winged Christian. no, i don't go around burning things,
i just believe the basic principles of the Bible as truth. (fundamentalism: an
attitude stressing literal adherence to a set of basic principles). so anyway,
i was reading your review on the Last Temptation of Christ because a very close
friend of mine who happens to be a hardcore athiest told me to go rent it. i agree,
i also like movies that can expand your mind and make you look at the world differently.
however, i found your remarks about the views of Christians highly intolerant.
Christ is my beautiful savior, my best friend, my all in all. not some crazy guy
who thought he was God. the so-called "christians" who i agree, are ignorant,
are not doing the kingdom of God any good by using violence to prove their point.
it's hypocrisy. but anyway, whether the film be quality or not, it is anti-christian
propoganda and if you read the bible it is clear that the message of the ! film
is completely inaccurate. well, please e-mail me if you ever have the time! i'm
interested in people with views like yours, and even though i may be just a 15
year old girl, i love talking about theology!

One
of my favourite films is the french movie L'Appartement (1996) starring Vincent
Cassell and Monica Bellucci and directed by Gilles Mimouni. It's a romantic mystery
thriller. It really is a MASTERPIECE and it's a shame not a lot of people know
it. It was never released in the USA. It won a BAFTA best foreign film award and
it was nominated for 2 Cesar Awards (Bellucci, Mimouni). Anyone who hasn't seen
this film should try to. DON'T MISS IT, you won't regret it.
My
favourite movies are Mulholland Drive, Se7en, The Usual Suspects, The Godfather
Trilogy, L.A. Confidential, Goodfellas, Carlito's Way, Requiem for a Dream, Pulp
Fiction, JFK, Heat, Das Boot, The Shawshank Redemption, The Silence of the Lambs,
Before Sunrise and High Fidelity.
Thank
you for the suggestion. Based on some of your favorite movies...it appears your
taste is very good...so I'll have to check out L'
Appartement (1996). (AC 3/9/02)

I
read Mark's review of 'A Clockwork Orange' and just wanted to say that I think
he missed the point. The movie is about social control and how dangerous it can
be if left to a select few. Alex clearly loses his ability to make a choice and
is rendered defenseless. I think what Anthony Burgess is trying to say and what
Kunrick illustrates so well is that while violence is bad, social control is much
worse. Frank Orena

Ebert
writes:
It's not supposed
to happen this way. Sequels are not supposed to be better than the movies that
inspired them. The third movie in a series isn't supposed to create a world more
complex, more visionary and more entertaining than the first two. Sequels are
supposed to be creative voids. But now here is ``Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,''
not only the best of the three Mad Max movies, but one of the best films of 1985.

I
am writing to you because I am intersted in some information dealing with The
Vietnam War. I like to create my own fictional stories in my free time. I am currently
working on a story delaing with an OB/GYN who is well respected and well liked
as a physician. He is one of the best in the Greenwood/Waterfall Valley area.
However, he suffers from a form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder believed to
have been brought on from experiences during his tour of duty in The Vietnam War.
He has been under treatment but decides he has it under control and decides to
go off his therapy. He begins to have flashbacks and memories of the war, which
nearly cost him his ability to practice medicine. the story works out in his favor
and he goes back to seeking treatment for his PTSD. Anyway, I am having a difficult
time gathering the research I need to "put it all together" in terms of tying
all the research together for my story. I need some information in regards to
what sources of contact I could use to gather information dealing with the war.
What do I need to do to add to the enrichment of my story in terms of finding
information about the war. I want to find ways of taking that information I learn
about the war and plugging it in to my story in a paraphrased form of the original
material to prevent plagarism of any kind. I thought that you would be an expert
of who to contact since you all gathered such wonderful information and research
that helped to be woven into such a wonderful "blockbuster" movie and story. If
there is any way you can point me in the right dirction of who I amy get in contact

9. Carrie 10. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (another classic)
Best Movies: (Before I start, let me warn you that I am cheating because there
are actually more than 10 movies here. I just can't decide between a "couple".
Ha ha. That really means all of them!) The Godfather The Godfather II (this sequal
is the best sequal ever and I just cannot decide between these two which is better)
West Side Story Gone With the Wind Casablanca E.T. The Extraterrestrial Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon Singin' in the Rain It's a Wonderful Life (watch it one year
and then take a break and then watch it again the following year!) Duck Soup M.A.S.H.
Ben-Hur Beauty and the Beast The Lion King (once again, I cannot choose between
these two)
There you go, my 14 favorite movies in no particular order. I started doing a
list with numbers, but then I found myself contradicting myself all over the place.
But I promise by the time I get my 100 best movies list, there will be a countdown,
a legitimate one - I PROMISE! Thank you again. Please give me some feedback, I
will love you even more, I PROMISE! Peace out! Joseph Gomez
Excellent
contribution Jeffery...I particulary like most of the horror films you have chosen.
For being young you certainly have alot of older films on your lists (which is
great). Look forward to your top 100. (AC 3/6/02)

I
like you list. Its not filled with all of those cheesy classics that are on all
the other lists just because there "criticaly aclaimed." There are some movies
that I believe should be on your list that are not such as Saving Private Ryan(which
is one of my personal favorites), E.T., Vertigo, and North By Northwest. Your
web site is a very good one. Keep it up.
Thanks
for the comments Jason. Loved the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, but not really
the rest of the film. I agree with you on North by Northwest and E.T. .(AC 3/6/02)

I
am desparate to find music that would best remind you of the Korean War. For example
WWII had the Andrew Sisters, South Pacific, etc.....Vietnam had their own songs
and movies to take sound from....But for some reason I haven't found what I really
need to acknowledge these veterans in the proper manner they should be recognized.
Can you help!
Judy...Any
group that topped the billboard charts during the following dates may help (June
25, 1950 to July 27, 1953). (AC 3/6/02)
