2001: A Space Odyssey: 8
My first time seeing this (dodges thrown keyboards). Technically brilliant and engrossing for most of it's running time, but that "Jupiter & Beyond" epilogue threw me. What the hell...?

Paulie
Canya' BELIEVE it???
Paulie
When I watched the trailer for this movie in a theatre years ago, I wrote it off.
NOW, all these years later, a good friend hands me the homevid, and urges me to watch it.
I'm a sap...especially for a time-lapse flick like this one. I laughed, I wept.
I love Paulie. I give it a 10. So sue me.

The Christine Jorgensen Story
as a film - 3
as camp - priceless
When this first started, I thought it was a parody or a hommage a la "Far From Heaven," but it's real. I asked this older woman at work and she said it caused quite a stir in the 70's.
Info below from sundance channel:
directed by Irving Rapper
YEAR
1970
89 MINS, Color
If this melodramatic - if not unintentionally camp - biopic about the first American to undergo a sex change operation brings to mind a Bette Davis weepie, perhaps it's no coincidence. Veteran Hollywood director Irving Rapper (NOW VOYAGER, DECEPTION) helms this well-intended adaptation of Jorgensen's best-selling autobiography, sympathetically following George Jorgensen as a boy who prefers dolls to footballs, through his career in the army and his eventual visit to a Danish clinic, where George is surgically transformed into Christine. (1970) R (AC, MV, N)

"Are we talkin' about Paulie Shore here???"
NO!
Paulie 1998
Starring Tony Shalhoub, Gena Rowlands, Cheech Marin, Bruce Davison, Jay Mohr, Buddy Hackett & Hallie Kate Eisenberg.
It's a "Children's Book" movie (rather like Stuart Little) all about the title character, a talking parrot.
An enchanting story, a great cast, fine direction, and a wonderful score by John Debney propels this kiddie film into the realm of "Cult Classic", in MY Never-To-Be-Humble Opinion.
MY FAVORITE MOMENT: When The Original Willard(Bruce Davison) is confronted by...a rat. One of those "nudge-nudge-knowhatimean" movie moments that'll give older filmgoers a good belly laugh!
This is a lot of fun!

"Hollywood Homicide--6"
...and that's where it opened last Friday...at number 6 on the boxoffice chart.
Very disappointing performance for Mr. Ford, especially after that K-19 stinkbomber.
He must be BEGGING Lucas & Spielberg to get Indy 4 going!!!
This is sad...
