Movies That Kick My AssNo. 8:  Casablanca How do I write about Casablanca without repeating what?s already been said a hundred times by far better writers and far more insightful students of film?  This is one of the most revered works of American cinema; it?s been praised so much, for so long, that it?s impossible to review without lapsing into cliché.  It?s one of those few films that is unknowingly referenced by people who have never seen it.  Phrases now a part of our popular culture  ?  ?Here?s looking at you, kid,? ?He?s just like any other man, only more so,? ?Round up the usual suspects,? ?Play it again, Sam,? ?This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship? ? are spoken here for the first time by Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains. What in the hell?s so great about this movie, anyway?  That cast is a good place to start.  Humphrey Bogart was already a star when he made Casablanca, but it was his role as Rick Blaine that made him a legend.  He?d made great films alr

I am a superhero junkie. Moderately. I love the SpiderMan movies. I want to see number 3. I just saw the trailer. The villains are Thomas Haden Church (or as I told mom "Lyle" from George of the Jungle) and *swoon* Topher Grace. Thomas Haden Church is playing Sandman and Topher Grace is playing Venom. Venom has always been my favorite villain, even before Topher took the role. The role is just better now.Also on my list is the new Harry Potter. The fifth book, The Order of the Phoenix, is by far my favorite of all of them. It's very good. Also on the subject of Harry, the new book, The Deathly Hallows, is coming out on July 21. The movie is coming out (in theaters) on July 13. I won't see it in theaters, but most likely my friends who will go and see it will spoil all the special effects and good parts for me, so I count it as close enough. Plus, I'm sure Ms. Rowling doesn't mind the two products coming out so close to each other. It means bukoo bucks for her.I was watching som

Told ya?ll that film class would be a boon for the movie writing . . . Movies That Kick My AssNo. 7:  Sergeant York Here now is a film made to be looked at from all sides.  It is a fable blended into a war picture, a broad and affectionate portrait of country life that gives way to a gritty tale of military heroism, The Guns of August by way of Huckleberry Finn.  It is a biography of a real-life hero of the First World War that saw wide release in the U.S. just over two months before the country?s entry into the Second.  It is the story of a man who matures beyond the need for violence, who is then asked to kill for his flag.  Of the films we?ve watched in class, it is the first instance where the hero does not seem to have sprung fully-developed from his mother?s womb; it is our first opportunity to watch the hero emerge. One of the most interesting aspects of the film is how its tone evolves to mirror the evolution of its lead character.  When we first meet Alvin York (Gary Cooper, w

Movies That Kick My AssNo. 6:  Groundhog Day Granny ordered this movie on pay-per-view in 1993 because she was a fan of Bill Murray.  I sat in the living room and watched it with her.  She taped it, as she did many of the movies she watched on TV, and I liked the movie enough that occasionally when I?d come back to stay with Pap and Granny, I?d want to watch it again, enjoying it more every time.  Eventually, she let me take it home with me.  I still have that tape packed away somewhere, though I haven?t watched it since I bought the DVD. Until he starred in Lost in Translation a few years ago, Groundhog Day was the Bill Murray movie.  You could certainly argue that Ghostbusters or Stripes or Caddyshack were better showcases for Murray?s skill as a comic; however it was Groundhog Day that first demonstrated his worth not just as a funnyman, but as an actor.  He gets laughs both big and subtle playing disgruntled TV weatherman Phil Connors, but he also gets to portray a three-dimensiona
