I was looking for some movies the other night and found something called 'The Express'. I had never heard of it, and had no idea what it was about, except football because there was a football player on the cover. It was about a guy named Ernie Davis, never heard of him either.

While I wouldn't say it was a great movie, I liked it because I learned some sports history from it. And the soundtrack wasn't half bad.

i re-watched the TV movie "It" last night (it's on youtube, fyi). still holds up pretty well i'd say. i remember being scared poopless when it first came out in 1990, but i would have been like 7. i really like it.

Just saw From Paris With Love and The Skeleton Key.

Both got what I would consider well-deserved 38% ratings on the Tomatometer (although I did nod off during parts of Skeleton Key that perhaps affected my opinion).

RE-watch of Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

A very good movie. Great performances by Brad Pitt and Affleck. Ok- on the negative side -the voiceover. Sometimes narrators are needed to lay the framework on historically-based movies. But this movie is over 2 and half hours and takes it's time. I don't see the point in having the TV commercial voice-guy telling us what the characters are doing and feeling, as they are showing it on film.

Must not have bothered me the first time -since I didn't recall it. An underrated movie.

Is that the one with Tim Curry? Because yes, it still holds up extremely well.

That's a cool link. I like the graph.
Plug in Robert De Niro. Holy cow. Up and down, up and down, over, and over, for years.

I fell asleep during Bonnie and Clyde so I'm looking forward to rewatching it tomorrow night.
