Film Quote Friday: Apollo 13
I know, I haven’t done one of these in a ridiculously long time! But here’s something, a favorite moment from a movie that I think is starting to border on being criminally underrated: Apollo 13. The story is well known … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: Apollo 13
It’s been way too long since I watched this movie. I love this little scene, early in the film, after the party at Jim Lovell’s house has ended and the first moonwalk in history is over. Jim and his wife, … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: Casablanca
In honor of Roger Ebert…. Rick: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I’ve done a lot of it since then, and it all adds up … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: “Amistad”
I’ve only seen this movie once, and I liked it, but not really enough to watch it again. At the time I remember finding it well-made, well-acted, and all, but a bit on the slow-moving side and generally not too … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: 2010 (The Year We Make Contact)
2010 is a fairly odd film, all things considered. It harks back to when Hollywood’s mania for sequels was just starting to get underway, and when the idea of reboots was still way off. And the idea of making sequels … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: The Hunt for Red October
When this movie came out in spring 1990, I was on the tail end of a fascination with the spy genre that had lasted two or three years. I’d devoured a whole bunch of Robert Ludlum and Nelson DeMille novels; … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: “The Sea Hawk”
Seeing as how I devoted yesterday’s Something for Thursday post to The Sea Hawk, my favorite Errol Flynn movie, I figured, why not use it in this feature too? The Sea Hawk tells the story of a rogue English sea … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday: “Sneakers”
COSMO: You could have shared this with me. MARTIN: I know. COSMO: You could have had the power. MARTIN: I don’t want it. COSMO: Don’t you know the places we can go with this? MARTIN: Yeah, I do. There’s nobody … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday
Been a while since I did one of these, huh? So much for ‘regular features’. Par for the course around here, though. I may one day relaunch this blog as a series of regular features, with one post each before … Continue reading
Film Quote Friday
“Darmok” is one of the most memorable episodes, and for me a high point, of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Enterprise makes contact with a people, the Tamarians, whose language has resisted all efforts at translation, to the point … Continue reading
