I finally watched "Avatar" and really liked it a lot. I was expecting another overly long, self-indulgent James Cameron "tour de force," and was pleasantly surprised.
What has pleasantly surprised you lately?
Hi,
I watched Erick the Great & I expected to Loathe this film.....
And I just about did I laughed at most 3 times. I saw this on cable long ago, I stopped watching it @ the 10 minute mark when Mickey Rooney sits with Erick.
Why didn't I like it? I love a good comedy, is it genetic, IQ, no sense of humor? Why does one person enjoy while another dislikes, it has to be more than a personal thing.
I never liked the 3 Stooges, could that be it?
Quote:Woody Allen is my favorite, IMO his old movies are all Comedy Classics
Mighty Aphrodite, 1995 R
Years after adopting a baby, a happily married family man becomes obsessed with learning about the child's birth mother, only to discover she is a high-priced call girl in this superior late-career effort from writer, director and star Woody Allen. The comedy also stars Mira Sorvino, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her memorable turn as the object of Allen's infatuation, while Allen's tart screenplay also earned Academy Award honors.
