Sleepers (1996)
I shiver every time I hear the question "Do you still sleep with the light on?"
The movie indeed has 3 parts. before,at and after the correction center. All three parts are equaly gripping. Except that the part in the correction center is very dark and disturbing.
Brad Pitt shines in a small role he has. So does Jason Patrick. Hoffman has his ususal confused charisma. Rest of the supporting cast is excellent too. Especially the denizens of hell's kitchen. Kevin Bacon looks realy menacing. But the person who realy shows his caliber again is de niro. He has one of these rare "non-swearing" roles of his. There is a scene where Jason Patric tells the story of the abuses they faced, and the camera focusses on Robert De Niro's face. Only thing changes is his eyes, from sharp and focussed at the first, you see them widening and then you see some trace of tears.
Skaterdater (1966)
Takes you back some Great times and good memories
I fell in love with this little gem of a short when I saw it as a "filler" between a double feature over 40 years ago. Seeing it on the big screen in the theater makes you feel like your 12 years old and back on a skateboard. You feel every bump, every jump and every pebble along with all the heartaches you hit as you roll down the road of puppy love. The film is about two rivaling fractions of a group preteen skate-borders when one of the boy while riding accidentally and quite literally runs into a girl on a bicycle. The choice of girl vs. skateboarders isn't very difficult, and as they say "the rest is history". This is a "must see" film for anyone who went through the trials and tribulations of first love. I can't remember the names of the films I saw that day,but I will always remember "skaterdater".
The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955)
great show
The greatest tribute I can give to "The Adventures of Robin Hood" is to tell you that the re-runs of the show were aired weekdays from 7:30-8:00 am, my school-bus came at the bottom of the street at 7:55 am and i can only guess (aprox.75) the times that after i missed the buss, I had to walk the long 2 & 1/2 mile stretch to get to school cause i didn't want to miss the last 5 minutes of the show
I just got the 1st season and was wondering if anyone else notice the fact that the role of "Little John" was played by two different actors, Archie Duncan about 100 episodes and Rufus Cruikshank 20 episodes.
Outstanding
