The Aviator (a bit over the top, but good entertainment and lesson on early aviation Saw a show on the making of this movie today. It looks like one I would really like to see, but why in the heck did they have to cast Alec Baldwin in a role????? That ruined it for me.

I've been really impressed with the new "Battlestar Galactica" series on the Sci-Fi network, believe it or not. The original series was campy and cheesy as could be, but the new one is gritty, realistic, and doesn't pull any punches. I'm especially impressed with the way it depicts the military (which is the centerpiece of the series) -- both the chain of command, and the individual grunts and officers, as well as the kinds of actions and decisions necessary in warfare. Nothing "touchy feely, happy ending" about it.
The military's relationship to the civilian authority -- and the civilian authority's own duties and responsibilities under a constitution and system of laws -- is also handled surprisingly well.
Along with being a good action/drama/sci-fi show, it's more of a civics lesson than just about anything else on TV.

I am probably the only one who thinks this, but every time I see Dennis Quade, I think he is a dead wringer of
TIM RUSSERT !.
Couldn't you just see him playing Russert in a movie or SNL ??

Hitchcock was a cinematic genius...never got an Academy Award for directing...can you believe it?
Films - directing, acting, narrative, etc. - today are measured against his sensibilities.

Easy now. The Quaid brothers were high school chums of mine.

Thanks, What's Up.
I sometimes despair of being able to go to a movie and see a good one.
I appreciated your posting this!

I loved Phantom!
I saw the play on Broadway, and it was good, but man, the movie was wonderful!

P.S. I also like The Forgotten, Coach Carter and Finding Neverland.

I think I would HATE Million Dollar Baby because basically it's a movie about a woman who aks her friend to murder her because she's paralyzed.
Totally anti-life message...
