A couple days ago AMC aired Serpico. I love that movie. I remember seeing it at the theater when it came out. Pacino in his prime.

I just saw Sacaramouche. Made in the early 1950's staring Stewart Granger a fantastic movie. Worth seeing he did a lot of his own stunts in that movie. It put him in the hospital more then once while shooting it. You will see why after you see it.
A lot of fencing with real swords not with safety tips. A lot of really heavy shit falling from ceilings plus very funny as well. Maybe one of the best sword fight scenes of all time at the end in the middle of a theather full of people.

I enjoyed the Dark Knight way more the 2nd and 3rd time I watched it Friend..
I absolutely loved Taken, Neeson was so refreshing as an action star, and delivered this legendary monologue:
Must give TDK another shot then .
Yeah i enjoyed Taken also, fight scenes were class, hear there even better in part 2 also. Id never really thought much about Liam Neeson before as an actor and didn't even realize it was him in Batman Begins, which is what made me pick up Taken.
Didn't go with Taken 2 tonight in the end, just finished watching The Shawshank Redemption for the first time instead. Can't believe its taken me till now to get round to watching it.
I love the Taken movies. Never knew much about Neeson til then.
As for TDK, I love it only because of Ledger's Joker. He's wonderful. I've seen it many times and still tune in off/on to see my favorite scenes when it's on tv. One of my favorite movie villains is Ledger's Joker.
Anyone into the Bourne movies? I love them. A new one due out next month. Can't wait. I'll actually go to the theater for certain films, and this is one.

This lazy Saturday afternoon I watched Robin and the Seven Hoods with Sinatra and Dean Martin. It's a cute movie, but it's Peter Falk who steals the movie. Like Assante, Falk is the perfect gangster.

Here's a blast from the past for some of we Board members. TCM showed Jesus Christ Superstar the other night. Platform shoes, bell bottoms, and afros dominated the cultural landscape back in the early 70s when it came out first on stage than in theaters.
I just love the soundtrack and have enjoyed the movie. Some of you younger Board members should give it a look or at least listen tot he soundtrack.
