What? I like crime movies. My mother’s boyfriend was a made guy. Sue me.
Nice list, the big sleep and payback are great, the big hit was such a weird movie though :).
shareThank you. The Big Hit is very unusual, but has some wonderful dialogue—“Feel my ass. Is it still firm but pliable?” “The man hasn’t had a decent bowel movement in six months” “We gonna get PAID!” “Oh baby, I’d like to pour milk all over you and make you part of my complete breakfast”—and a fantastic performance by Lou Diamond Phillips. Plus Christina Applegate and China Chow, and Marky Mark was ripped and shredded and sweet and kind. Not a lotta kidnapping and extortion films like that!

Which Getaway? The original, or the remake?
sharehey R_Kane, I've been watching SMILF, and I love it! Thanks for the recommendation.
shareI am so happy to hear that, Laura, because (1) you are one of my favorite posters, and (2) and related to #1, I love turning wonderful people onto great stuff. It jazzes me. The bad news is that STARZ has cancelled SMILF, which I thought was an inspired, chancy (in terms of humor) and proudly feminist series because Samara Wearing (an actress who I quite like) complained that series honcho Frankie Shaw (another talent whom I quite like) tried to pressure her into doing a nude scene. This is an all-around lose-lose. Both of these women have so much to offer. Shameless has always been STARZ’ top-rated series, but I think SMILF takes the edge and the angst and the humor ‘way beyond Shameless, and was just plain a superior work of art in a more (to me) palatable 30-minute format. The pairing of Shameless and SMILF was the best I’ve seen since Cheers and Wings on NBC Thursdays. I think Frankie Shaw has sabotaged her career, and that really makes me very sad. I don’t think there are any second chances in the witch-hunt climate in which we find ourselves.
Are you a music fan? Do you know my favorite singer, Eva Cassidy, to make perhaps a happier recommendation? If not, please have a listen to her renditions of Somewhere, Over The Rainbow, Fields O’ Gold and How Can I Keep From Singing? I have never had one person not thank me for this advice. Listen to Eva, and you will hear how an angel sounds.
You're talking about Showtime not STARZ.
Scandal aside, SMILF had horrible ratings. I'm sure it wasn't a tough call.
Instead of being a jackass and editing my original post, I’ll instead stipulate that you are right and I was wrong; however, the information in the post you reference was really intended only for my friend, LauraGrace, who knows what network carries SMILF, and not for MC GenPop, so I wrote it off the top of my head. You may have noticed that Laura shared my enthusiasm for the series. SMILF received a Golden Globe nomination as Best Comedy in its first season. I think Frankie Shaw, while not for the popular taste, is a genuine talent, and that matters to me more than ratings. Rating on a premium cable service should not be much of a concern. That’s why I have premium cable. You of course need not share my values.
Not for nothing, Edgar Allen Poe died a pauper, but I admire him today as an artist, and I’m not alone.
A History of Violence
Eastern Promises
Viggo Mortensen was very good in both films.
