RE: Rate the Last Movie You Have Seen
The Man Who Sued God Rating: Okay
--This movie had a very strong premise but a very weak ending. Billy Connolly just really kicks ass in this but the problem with the latter parts of the movie is that there just doesn't seem to be any tension. If the movie was thirty minutes longer and more of the film concentrated on the ups and downs of the trial, it may have turned out better, but this is basically a weaker Erin Brockovich. The whole trial just seemed to follow the formulaic needs of the movie and offering the reward of Connolly's success without going through any of the tense efforts seen in Erin B. It is an okay movie but I definately recommend Erin Brockovich over this.

Where the Green Ants Dream Rating: Dull
--This is the movie avatar without the acting, story, direction, storytelling elements, tension, or action. The paralells with James Cameron's movie is quite interesting, but it doesn't make the movie worth watching.

Amadeus Rating: Fantastic
--I did watch this movie in high school, along with Sybil, so after seeing it in the library, I checked it out and gave it a rewatch. This movie is ten times better than I remember it. Fantastic acting, excellent writing, the music is intoxicating, and the story, although embellished and altered from its clearly historical roots, is enthralling. I loved every second of it.

Sybil Rating: Absolutely Wonderful
--This is another movie I hadn't seen since high school so I checked it out from the library and watched it again just today. I never watched Sally Field in anything else but I was very interested to know that she was apparently the flying nun and nearly turned down for the part by the executives at NBC because of her comedic roots. Her acting as well as that of Joanne Woodward's made this movie. It's plainly obvious the quality and care that was put into the movie that was spelled out in the special features. This was a fantastic movie and easily my favorite of the bunch so far.

Citizen Kane {Not Yet Watched}
--This movie has been rated as among the greatest movies ever made. That is a lofty perch for a movie to sit and a lot of expectation to live up to. I have never seen this movie and I was glad to find it at the library. Unfortuantely, it was only available in VHS and it doesn't work in my VCR. Luckily, it seems to work in my parent's VCR, so I'm going to watch it soon come hell or high water. I'm looking forward to this one and I'll post again about it soon.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
