    However, I'm always surprised that people want newest posts on top.  It's really tough to read when somebody writes a post that's more than one screen in length.  You have to scroll down to read the whole thing, and then scroll back up to find the start of the next post.  Irritating.

    that's why it's best to be PRO-CHOICE

Williams' reason for being tough with Helen after she learns of her sister's murder makes no sense, and his piousness gets a little tiresome as well. The leads are fine in this cheap production,...

    MeTV’s Svengoolie is more than just a b-horror movie host....

     

    "...Saturday night “Svengoolie” is now a televisual extravaganza. Koz’s makeup and jokes are augmented by his detailed factoids about the vintage films’ stars, director and production history. Who do you think does the research on that? Koz. So that’s three hats. And somebody has to make the film and the funny fit into that two-hour slot. Koz suggests needed movie trims, making it four hats.

    There’s also a weekly original song. Sven and his on-screen keyboardist, Doug “Graves” Scharf, adapt some old ditty with lyrics to cleverly mock that week’s movie’s plot, presentation and (if we’re lucky) cheesiness. Who do you think writes that? Now it’s five hats.

    Don’t forget those audio-clip retorts that deprecate Koz’s awful jokes — “self-critic,” he boasts of that role —

     

    ...He’s also a merchandise **** — that’s an even dozen, right? — whose Sven action figure sold out in a week. The Svengoolie site also offers glow-in-the-dark T-shirts, pin-on buttons and magnetic stickers.

    Hey, a guy’s gotta make a living. All those hats don’t come cheap."

  6. "The Snowman" review-

     

    "...This movie is impossible to follow, exhausting to sit through and seems to have been edited in a Cuisinart. The most impressive thing about The Snowman is that it ends....

     

    ...Director Tomas Alfredson, who made Let the Right One In and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, two good movies which understand basic story structure, has admitted that The Snowman doesn’t work and doesn’t make sense. Seriously:..
