Oh, I agree that Van Helsing didn't achieve anywhere near as well as The Mummy -- it was much more confused -- too much in it. I also think the heart didn't lie in the right place, with our protagonist.
Wash: Mal, your dead army buddy's on the bridge! Zoe: He ain't dead. Wash: Oh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"The Polar Express," a holiday fable featuring a computer-animated Tom Hanks as the train conductor, fell two places to No. 4 with $15.2 million, taking its total to $51 million after 12 days. The film cost a reported $270 million to make and market, prompting much speculation about its chances of turning a profit.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oh, my God. Everyone should go see "Sideways" RIGHT NOW if you're lucky enough to have it play nearby. What a weird, funny, lovely, wise little film. It's sort of a spiritual cousin to Curtis Hanson's "Wonder Boys" (which I love), with more acute an ache in its center. I walked out of the theater with watery eyes, a bad case of over-identification with its sad-sack protagonist, and craving for that perfect bottle of Pinot Noir, nevermind I know next to nothing about wine.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Just came back from seeing "Finding Neverland". That's the most I cried in the theater since "Return of the King".
This was almost me in the preview for "Finding Neverland". I can't wait.

Vonnie, I just saw it 3 hours ago. I liked it, but not as much as I expected to. Though it gave me a wicked jones for wine, and a desperate need to get back out to wine country.
I gotta say, though, I have never ever ever liked Thomas Hayden Church in anything ever ever ever.
I really liked him in this. A whole damn lot.

HUDSON HAWK is just about the most underrated gem ever. I suspect if it had been a huge hit, I might feel very different about it, but becuase it got so much derision, I felt protective.
I must commune with the dolphins. eiyeieieieieyieieeeyeeiieyieiyeyieyeiye!!!!!
