Re: Least and Most Favorite Movie of the week

Last week I saw four movies. Totem is a movie about a girl whose family arranges a birthday party for her father, who is clearly mortally ill with cancer. I can appreciate this realistic drama as the characters make their preparations and the father's ultimate fate becomes clearer, though I don't se...

Re: Your Favorite Performances from 1930 to the present

And what if we had to choose two of the Academy's nominees? Picture: The Right Stuff and, a long way behind it, Terms of Endearment . That would probably be enough for Terms to win.
