Name the movie this quote came from.
Rep to the first correct answer!


And shepherds we shall be. For thee,
my Lord, for thee. Power hath
descended forth from thy hand that
our feet may swiftly carry out thy
command. So we shall flow a river
forth to thee and teeming with souls
shall it ever be. E nomini patri, et
Fili e spiritu sancti

Boondock Saints.

Well done! Rep sent, maybe it was a little easy?

I viewed the film again a couple of nights ago. ;)

Let's try another one:

I'm the worst kind of witch, the kind that cleans!

Come back later, there's a witch on a rampage in there.

Moving Castle:D

Moving Castle:D

Actually Howl's Moving Castle, but good enough!

You wouldn't believe the looks i was getting when I was trying to my this movie for my wife! People have never heard of it and it was a theatrical release here just last year!

I shall think of another quote soon, I think I need to make it harder though!

Round 3:


Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

I watched that on Skinemax also...while the wife was asleep...:D

The Goonies.

Round 3:

50 Dollar Bill! 50 Dollar Bill! 50 Dollar Bill! :p

The Goonies.

That's correct!

OK, maybe this one is a little more obscure:


Excuse me, please. Boy cold. Must leave. Kindly remove bottles.

That's correct!

OK, maybe this one is a little more obscure:

Karate Kid

Correct! I owe you rep, I must spread some around first!

How about this:

I know what it's like to be in a hostage situation, I've been there myself. The fear, the adrenaline, you find yourself imagining things, impossible things, crazy things, insane things... takes years to get over it.

Rise of the Machines.

I thought it was when Sarah was in the police station talking to the detective, but now I think it was when Claire Danes was talking to the cops in the graveyard.

Correct! It is Dr. Silberman talking to Kate Brewster.

This one should be fun.


He's not some monster trying to evade you. He's just an animal. If you find what he wants, then he'll come to you.

Godzilla. The one that sucked from '98.

C'mon, it wasn't that bad was it?

C'mon, it wasn't that bad was it?

No, no, it pretty much sucked the big one. Below is a review from Rotten Tomatos that sums it up for me.





Godzilla

Looking Closer rating: C-
(Click here for an explanation of ratings.)

I knew it was going to be silly. But I was unprepared for this.

The Emmerich/Devlin moviemaking team seem determined to make summer event movies dumber than ever before. Independence Day was wildly popular and mildly enjoyable, but everything in it was stolen from other better films, and almost all of the dialogue was ridiculous. Godzilla is no better; in fact, it's so poorly written and so un-original that it makes Independence Day sound like Shakespeare.

Why bother explaining the plot? Big lizard comes to Manhattan, wreaks havoc, evokes sympathy from a scientist because "he's just an innocent animal," and eventually threatens humanity enough for mankind to feel justified in killing it.

Poor Matthew Broderick, who deserves a good comeback in better movies, stumbles around playing a scientist geek. (But hey, at least he's the first hero in a while who has musculature similar to mine... namely, zip.) His romance subplot must have kept him up nights -- "Do I really have to say these lines? Am I really supposed to fall in love with this complete airhead? Why doesn't Godzilla just squash her?" I would like to have seen Broderick get to know the redhead from "NewsRadio" who momentarily enlivens the picture, but the moviemakers seem to think intelligent interesting female characters are unappealing; only cookie-cutter blondes without personality are candidates for our hero.

The great Jean Reno is another fine actor meandering around Godzilla trying to find a reason to be there. His stereotypical "French secret agent" is good for a smirk or two, but when he wanders off into the sunset we can only hope he finds his way back into the "Mission: Impossible!" series, where the plot at least made you think.

The special effects are mediocre, occasionally good. (The big Brooklyn Bridge sequence is impressive.) But so what? We've seen this before. Spielberg's The Lost World was a disappointment... the last hour of Godzilla is a cheap copy of that. Godzilla's kids look just like velociraptors (those nasty mini-rexes from Jurassic Park), they run just like them, and they sound just like them. As in Jurassic, although these diminutive dinos run incredibly fast, humans have no trouble outrunning and outmaneuvering them.

So go to a matinee and see the big guy if you want to. But if you have to see one movie this summer, I'd put my money on The Truman Show (June 5), a film that I anticipate to be one of the finest of the year. After this, I hope audiences are tired of seeing national landmarks demolished, nostalgia-inducing movies re-made into lesser versions, and animated monsters picking off stupid people one by one.

My suggested tag line for the next Emmerich/Devlin movie: Script does matter
