Casablanca
I loved this movie. I never realized how many famous lines came out of this film.
*****
A Streetcar Named Desire
Why aren’t movies magical anymore?
*****
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
You had me at hello RDJr.
****
Hotel Rwanda
How did I miss this guy speaking at Chop Suey last year!?
****
Fullmetal Alchemist: The Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa
You know, one of those alternate universes where Nazi’s are on the verge of a victory through the occult. They should just make more seasons and less movies.
****
The Usual Suspects
Before this movie Kevin Spacey was in “The Ref” — the best Christmas movie ever. Now Kevin Spacey is Mr. Legitimate Actor. Lesson: costar in a movie with Dennis Leary.
****
Happy Endings
I’ll admit, a rating of four stars is a bit high for this movie. But LBH. I am a sucker for a Gyllenhaal. Also Lisa Kudrow is strangely attractive to me, like, in a hot mom sort of way.
****
The Virgin Suicides
1) James Woods looks exactly like my grandfather in this movie. 2) Kirsten Dunst is hot even though she is supposed to be 14. 3) One of the suiciders was definitely not a virgin at time of suicide.
***
Brick
INTRIGUING! That guy from “10 Things I Hate About You” plays some serious Sam Spade action. I’m not sure why everyone talked like they were in a 50′s detective movie though?
***
Poltergeist
Craig T. “Coach” Nelson stars in this film which is the “The ‘burbs” of the genre. A Steven Spielberg production — you’d probably be better of just watch Jaws..
***
V for Vendetta
NOTICE TO LADIES: shave your heads it is incredibly hott.
***
The Tete and the Moon
Tits and farts. And I do mean lots of tits. Some of this movie is clevery, most of this movie is awkward.
**
The 40 Year Old Virgin
How is this movie two hours and thirteen minutes long?

Wait a minute, when did Rusesabagina show up at Chop Suey?
Last year man, can you even believe it!? That is what I hear on “the street.”
40 year old virgin is so funny. it’s one of LC’s favorite movies. maybe her #1 fav. she laughs so hard. but, i mean her favorite tv show is also Girls Next Door, soooo…
Oh, I know he was in Richmond (not last year but in December of 05), cause we brought him to the Holocaust Museum. I just never heard anything about him returning for an event at Chop Suey. Though that would have been a great grab for them, particularly since his book was released last year. I still haven’t gotten around to reading that one.
WTF you know that guy? How’d that happen.
Wolf, a show that is better than Girls Next Door is Bad Girls Club, fyi.
We host speakers at the Museum fairly regularly and back in 2005 we thought it would be a good time to bring Paul over to speak because Hotel Rwanda had gotten such a huge response and he was getting ready to release a book about his experiences. So we did.
We also brought Jen Marlowe (documentarian of “Darfur Diaries”) down for a Darfur forum this past November. We showed the film and had a panel that included her, Suliman Giddo (Founder of Darfur Peace and Development), and Awer Bul (a local Sudanese Lost Boy who started the Awer Art Charity Project). Believe it or not, it was an even bigger event than Paul’s visit.
one time in fredericksburg we had this dude come speak who Looked Kind of Like Robert E. Lee. it was pretty sweet. he didn’t write a book though, afaik.
“Wolf, a show that is better than Girls Next Door is Bad Girls Club, fyi.”
she watches all that stuff. i try to ban the Oxygen channel altogether, though. E! has a few new shows out that are hilarious. that new clay (i think clay?) one is out friday.
Dude Campus Ladies!!! That is on Oxygen, it is like my favorite show of life. Everyone should watch this.
are you watching starveillance right now. funny, but not as funny as i expected.
i reject oxygen on general principle. and lifetime. sorry, dude, i have to draw the line somewhere. plus i don’t really watch that much tv, so i have to choose somewhat wisely = football.
i just wanted to point out that “A Christmas Story” is the best Christmas movie ever
what about “the santa clause: 2″
