You either love this flick or hate it. I understand why some hate Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. It is silly and the humor isn’t for everyone (I can hear some of you now, “Humor? What humor?”) Well, I like silly humor and Will Ferrell, in a classic performance for him, so I love this flick.rnrnThe supporting cast of Anchorman is g

Flicks Lists has revealed movie No. 83 in its Top 100 Movies List: Superman II. Superman II was an excellent movie because Superman actually fought villains who could match his own strength. There was controversy surrounding this film and its two

For those of you who went away to college after high school - remember that first summer back in your hometown? Remember the great times you had with your old friends and how they changed, you changed and it felt like forever since you last saw them? Well, I do and that’s why American Pie 2 resonates with me.

I really enjoyed the first Ame

I’ll tell you what I believe in: funny sports movies, opening presents Christmas morning not Christmas Eve, and Tim Robbins playing a major league pitching prospect who should make it to the show if his eyelids don’t get jammed. That’s what I believe in.

Ever feel like you don’t fit in - anywhere? Well, the lead character in Breaking Away, Dave Stohler (played by Dennis Christopher), sure can relate.

He didn’t fit in with his “Cutter” friends (he wanted to be an Italian bicyclist). He didn’t fit in at home (he and his father didn’t see eye-to-eye and his mother had some problems relating).

Full Metal Jacket gives you two movies in one! That’s right, this film artfully fuses two movies together to create one great flick, which has writer/director Stanley Kubrick’s fingerprints all over it.

The first half of the film focuses on newly recruited (or drafted) Marines as they endure basic training with an intense drill sergeant, G

I am a huge fan of the Coen Brothers and it shows - three of their flicks made it into my Top 100 Movies. The first, of course, is O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which is loosely based on Homer’s “The Odyssey.”

Like most Coen Brothers’ movies, O’ Brother, Where Art Thou? has some great (and memorable) lines (”Damn! We’re in tight spot!”) and

Is When Harry Met Sally a chick flick? Some may argue it is, but I tend to disagree. It’s a love story, but it’s also a story about human interaction and how men and women relate on a very fundamental level. Wait, now that I wrote that, it sure sounds like a chick flick, doesn’t it?rnrnOK, maybe it is, but I don’t care. Besides, this isn’
