Dialogue-free film openings are the new hotness.

(There Will be Blood, Wall-E, and apparently Up)

It was Amistad's only redeeming quality.

That's hilarious. I haven't seen it from start to finish, but the fact that you refer to the dialogue-free portion as the best part makes me want to avoid it.

the opening 10 minutes of Up tells a movie long story so much better than so many other full length films and it does it in 10 minutes without any dialogue. It destroyed me.

Right after the movie, my wife said that the first 10 minutes of Up made her feel more for that couple/relationship than the entire 3 hours of Benjamin Button. And I thought about it, and she's right.

Go see "Away We Go." Hilarious, touching, and a refreshing story about two people who are in love at the start of the movie, remain in love throughout the movie, and are still in love at the end of the movie. John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are the couple, and the supporting cast includes Jeff Daniels, Catherine O'Hara, and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Great film.

I watched "Every Which Way but Loose" last night.

I've seen some really great acting performances by monkeys before, but none as good as Clyde the Orangutan. That monkey is the Laurence Olivier of monkey actors.

I can't tell if you're being serious, but that really does sound refreshing. Sort of like Before Sunrise/Before Sunset without the 10 years apart thing.

An orangutan is not a monkey, an orangutan is an ape.

Thanks for the clarification, Dr. Goodall.

You are welcome, you are an ape too, a great ape actually - Homo sapien sapien to be exact.
