cough head rather title turn
I would rather turn my head and cough than see any part of 'Patch Adams' again. The title of this movie should have been 'Punch Adams!'
american-critic chris few walked
After 27 years, I walked out of my first one a few months ago. Black Sheep with Chris Farley.
american-critic liked
We'd rather see a picture that we liked then dump on one we didn't.
birthday disco night print tough
For my 50th birthday, I got ahold of a new print of 'Saturday Night Fever.' I see it much more as a tough coming-of-age movie than as a disco story.
experience far less minimum seat time understand valuing walk
Going to a movie is a two-hour experience; at $7.50 for a ticket, you are valuing your time at far less than the minimum wage. If you don't understand the film, don't leave. If you understand it all too well and hate it, get out of your seat and walk up the aisle. You will feel empowered.
american-critic people roger tune year
Roger and I are now in our 20th year and I think people tune in because they know that for better or for worse, these are our opinions.
believe thinking roger
But you know, really, if you think about it Roger and I and all critics really have one absolute essential part of our credentials and that is that you believe that that is actually what we think.
movie able heroism
I'm not surprised that Spielberg was able to capture the heroism of Schindler; so many of his movies are about the better part of mankind.
sexy thinking two
Two things are not debatable: eroticism, and comedy. If you don't think it's sexy, or funny, there's no way I can change your mind.
running facts made
In fact, Cannonball Run II. I used to pick that as the worst movie ever made.
shots protestants
I already shot my wad on the Protestants!
couple real character
The result is a picture that represents so much of what I want and rarely get from a movie - a couple of hours filled with characters who are as exciting as the people I know in real life.
mcdonalds names ties
They know they got the TV ad, they know they got the name recognition, they know that they can do a tie in with McDonald's or some fast food outlet and the money is just gonna flow in.
disagree
We don't pretend to disagree.
