Who would be around to use them on Sarah/John? Isn't the Terminator an advanced
weapon itself? The difficulty of detection is its strong suit.

For argument's sake, let's hypothesize that there's a breakthrough regarding
the current research that questions the true randomness of Brownian motion,
such that particles do have a form of "historical memory". If this can be
assumed to exist, then can we assume that perhaps controls can be put in place?

I would say it's more (or perhaps less) than that.

Good Terminator has been programmed to help John Connor survive - he
goes about that with the _same_ relentless determination that he had when
trying to destroy Sarah Connor in the first movie.

I liked both films, but I thought Beetlejuice was a better film
than The Addams Family.  The Addams Family is good based on
sets, mood, and characters. Beetlejuice has these plus a reasonably
interesting storyline.

By the way: Beetlejuice was also the inspiration for a rather
strange cartoon show, which had a few intersting episodes.  Not
as good as Ghostbusters, though; the first couple of years of that
cartoon show were actually, all in all, better than the
movies.

 I believe this movie was based on a short story by 
 Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (sp?)  The story was very good, I've
 only seen about 10 minutes of the movie.  It seemed to
 very closely parallel the book.

I haven't seen the Gary Cooper version of the movie, but what do you
guys think of the following casting:

	Grown-up Winona Ryder as Dominique
	Sean Connery as Cameron
	Alec Baldwin as Keating

My brother and I would have liked to see a young Elizabeth Taylor as
Dominique, but oh well...  We couldn't come up with a good Roarke.  I
think the rest of the cast should be easier (Dominique's father, etc.)

Hi, Basic Instinct has just made it's way down here in New Zealand.  My
friends and I are a little confused on some aspects of the plot, so can anyone
forward a synopsis of the movie for me?
Some questions are; how involved in the murder/s is or isn't Beth, was there a
collusion between Beth and Catherine? and did Catherine set Beth up to be shot
knowing whatshisnames predilection for trigger-happiness?
Any help will be most appreciated and I apologise if the movie has been

Well, I did it again -- tuned in after the title and opening
credits.  This was a pretty predictable "buddy" movie, but
I really liked Gene Wilder's performance.  He played a rabbi
trying to make his way through the wild, wild west.  I missed
the first part, but he somehow hooks up with this card playin'
shoot-em-up outlaw (H. Ford).  They rob a bank, get into a 
fight, etc., etc.

I'd like to rent the video and see the entire film.  Could 
someone kindly email me with the title and/or other information?

Thanks very much,

I just watched it recently, and I also thought technically, the animation 
lacked in most of it.  The characters and some settings/backgrounds were
well designed, but the motion and some of the 'tweening was not great.
I was still cool to watch because of some of the sorta bizarre stories though.

After watching HM, I started watching a film that I remember having
VERY GOOD to GREAT animation, 'Rock and Rule'.  R&R was done up here
in Toronto by Nelvana, and I'm proud to say that Nelvana is a great
animation house.

If you haven't seen R&R (not a lot have), I would recommend seeing it.
It's about a legendary pop star (who happens to dabble in Black Magic)
looking for a perticular voice to open a gateway to another dimension.
Lo and behold, while in a seedy club, he finds his magic voice...

Thats a VERY brief description of the movie, but it is very good.
The 2 main voices are done by Iggy Pop and Debra Harry (Blondie). The
music is done by both of them and by Cheap Trick (this is an '84 movie).
One thing I'll warn you about, is that the lead characters are sorta
animals (ie: cats and dogs).  The explaination behind this was that
there's a nuclear war of some sort, and cats, dogs and mice evolve
to take over where humans leave off.  The look of the characters is
very human, you know, standing on 2 legs, wearing jeans, roller-skating,
etc... much less cartoony than 'Fritz the Cat'.

If you like animated movies, SEE this one.

A modern yuppie couple has a burglar break into their house and
threaten the wife with a knife at her throat before fleeing.  Two
policemen come to take the report.  One of the two policemen
becomes consumed with their safety and ultimately decides that
he must get the husband out of the way to protect the wife.

I thought it was a highly predicatable, formula psychopath
movie.  I was disturbing and even frightening, but in a very
heavy handed way.  I thought that the characters were flat
and the scenarios were not at all beleivable.  I guess it would
be fair to say that I didn't like it.

That's almost exactly what my girlfriend said. It became even more

I was somewhat mollified to find out that the price includes a barbeque

If you recall the scene where the husband tries to bribe the cop to
stay away, the cop says that the husband is gambling with the
the wife's future and financial security just like her father did.
The cops says that the wife deserves better than that and
then tries to remove the husband so he can take his place.
The fact that the cop was obsessed with the wife doesn't
contradict his desire to protect her.  The fact that he wanted
to protect her even if it killed her was just an indication of
his degenerating mental condition.

[Story deleted about comments on Hunt for Red October]

You should see the movies we show here during the school year.
Comments will come at almost any time. Several are funny :

During Disney's Beauty and The Beast, at the scene where the beast
telles Belle to close her eyes, because the beast had a
surprise for her, someone yelled out "It's big!" (this was the midnight
showing) Everyone cracked up. But of course it was, because the next
shot was inside the castle's library.

During a preview of Bugsy, Warren Beatty's character said something
to the effect of " He's an architect. What does he know?" Very suiting
to a college with a school of architecture.

Lastly, during Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, at the scene where they are
sitting around the campfire, meditating, one of the turtles says "I know where
splinter is." To which another turtle says "You mean you think you know"
And the turtle says "I don't think - I know." At that point, I audibly
said "I don't think he knows either." And the house went wild.
