Hangover Square (John Brahm, 1945) 8/10 A composer stuck between writing a brilliant concerto and a song for a woman he loves notices a correlation between murders, arsons, and his blackouts. I'm really, really going to miss Laird Cregar, guys. It's unfortunate what happened to him because he was o...

Trainwreck (Judd Apatow, 2015) 6/10 A commitment-phobic free-wheeling magazine writer rethinks her thoughts on monogamy when she meets a kind-hearted sports doctor. I thought the film was reasonably funny if a bit overlong. There are a handful of pretty funny moments sprinkled throughout, and no sc...

Sahara (Zoltan Korda, 1943) 6/10 A U.S. tank corps teams up with five Brits, a Frenchmen, and a Sudanese man with an Italian prisoner when the Germans pin them down and try to barter food for water. Zoltan Korda shoots another obvious recruitment picture with a diverse cast. It's an impressive ense...

And will they nominate Michael Fassbender for Macbeth or for Steve Jobs? That's an important question. I think Steve Jobs will be more "user friendly" compared to Shakespeare. Have a feeling Vikander will get a push in lead for Testament and in support for The Danish Girl. That's unfortun...

I find this hilarious. It's got an astounding visual aesthetic, and only an idiot wouldn't notice this.

Ryan and I are chilled

Reza and I are like high school best friends. We love each other but also annoy each other more than anyone else.

No, because one long post is not the same as a ton of small ones. Each webpage holds a certain number of posts. Post length is irrelevant to this.

Stop with this constant whining.

I'm asking you to do very little.

Glad to hear you have your computer back, Reza. Good to know you will stop posting all your reviews one at a time now. Thanks. What difference does it make? Does it disturb you in some way? You're just flooding the entire thread. If I want to scroll back to check something I wrote or someone else p...

Your season previews are my favorite part of UAADB.

Glad to hear you have your computer back, Reza.

Thanks.

Suspense (Lois Weber, Phillips Smalley, 1913) 9/10 A housewife, home with her child, is terrorized by a tramp as her husband steals a car and avoids the police on his way to rescue her. So much, well, suspense in only ten minutes. Lois Weber is an incredible director for what I see here. The film i...

Oh my God, Reza, stop posting one review at a time.

This may be the easiest poll we've had yet. It's hard to top Fellini and "The Hustler."

The Kirk Douglas Award to the Worst Actor: Burt Lancaster, The Leopard, Seven Days in May[/quote]

This, coupled with the nomination of "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" are completely ridiculous.
