Film: X2: X-Men United (2003)

DVD: Anamorphic
X2 - X-Men United (Widescreen Edition)

"You know all those dangerous mutants you hear about in the news? I'm the worst one."

Review: This is the third best comic superhero movie after Spiderman 2 and Superman. This is just a fun movie that entertains immensely.

"What exactly do you teach, Professor Logan?"
"Art."

Film: Wind (1992)

DVD: Anamorphic
Wind

"Well, don't worry about it. I mean, what could happen? Of course, my design could have a few flaws. And after a few weeks, Will and I discover we hate each other. Abigail proves to be the flake of the century; she can't raise a dime. A giant sandstorm comes along, knocks this place over, we go broke, the IRS throws us in jail. The State Department wants to throw me out of the country. But I fool them: in jail, I catch pneumonia and die."

Review: This a movie that turned me on to watching the America's Cup. It has a great story and has great cinematography. It is beautifully shot by the same director as "The Black Stallion". Stellan Skarsgaard is great as the boat's designer and the racing scenes make you feel like you are speeding along in the boat with the crew getting splashed by the waves.

"We're out in the desert, so bring some beer!"

When Harry Met Sally... (Collector's Edition)

"There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance."
"Which one am I?"
"You're the worst kind. You're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance."

Review: This is a wonderful movie that comments on the relationships between men and women. That is always a ripe topic for conversation and this movie does it very well with the fake orgasm scene in the restaurant as the icing on the cake.

"No man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her."
"So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?"
"No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too."

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (Special Collector's Edition)

"You're my knight in shimmering armor. Did you know that?"
"I think you mean shining."
"No shimmering. You shimmer, and you glow."

Review: This is Leonardo DiCaprio's best role ever. His mannerism and way of talking totally sell you in the believability of his mental illness. Johnny Dep plays a very subdued character, but it plays great as a foil with Arnie. This movie deserved some Oscars.

"I'm having a birthday party, but you're not invited, but you can come if you want."

"It's not going to happen again. This is the last time. Right Arnie?"
"It's the last time."
"Okay. Let's go."
"But I want to go back up there again."

Film: Weird Science (1985)

DVD: Anamorphic
Weird Science (High School Reunion Collection)

"We gotta make her as real as possible, Wyatt. I want her to live. I want her to breathe. I want her to aerobicize."

Review: This is a movie that took me three times to see it all because my parent's or my friend's parents would turn it off at the shower scene. ARRGH! This only made me more eager to see this film all the way through and it didn't disappoint. The movie was hilarious with Chet stealing all the scenes he was in.

"How 'bout a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?"

"Lady, I wanna get to the bottom of this. ASAFP."
"Oh, so do I."
"But first I'd like to... butter your muffin."
"Why do you have to be such a wanker?"
"Because I get off on it!"

Film: Weekend at Bernie's (1989)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9 - Double Sided
Weekend at Bernie's

"What kind of a host invites you to his house for the weekend and dies on you?"

Review: This is a very funny black comedy. It is filled with excellent physical humor and normally I don't point out the great job an actor does playing a corpse but the movie would not have worked without Terri Kiser's comedic portrayal of Bernie.

"Now you see, Larry? All of this could be yours if you set your goals and work hard."
"My old man worked hard. All they did was give him more work."

"This is the note. Listen. --Richard Parker and I stole this money from the company to pay for my sex-change operation--"
"Son of a bitch. I mean, it's not bad enough that he's trying to kill me. Now he's trying to turn me into a drag queen. Why couldn't he have said you were going to have the operation?"
"It doesn't matter, Larry, it doesn't matter."
"Oh, yes it does matter, Richard, it does matter. I have a reputation to protect here!"

Film: The Wedding Singer (1998)

DVD: Anamorphic - Double Sided
The Wedding Singer - Totally Awesome Edition

"Hey, buddy, I'm not paying you to share your thoughts on life. I'm paying you to sing."
"Well, I have a microphone, and you don't, so you will listen to EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!"

Review: This is the only Adam Sandler movie that I love. It is a great spoof of the 80's and it has some great songs. Drew Barrymore is totally cute in this movie and I think she is the reason that Adam Sandler was so good in this movie.

"You know, you should write a song about this. You could call it 'I got hit in the nose for sticking my face in other people's business'."
"Sounds like a country song!"

Wayne's World

"Cassandra. She's a fox. In French she would be called "la renarde" and she would be hunted, with only her cunning to protect her."

Review: This is one of the few movies that made the successful transition from a Saturday Night Live sketch to film. The "Bohemian Rhapsody" scene in the car was amazing and I remember singing it over and over again with my friends. I think this movie also revitalized Rob Lowe's career. This isn't the most polished movie, but it makes up for it in laughs.

"Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played girl bunny?"
"No... No."
"Neither did I. I was just asking."

Film: Wall Street (1987)

DVD: Anamorphic
Wall Street (20th Anniversary Edition)

"There's no nobility in poverty."

Review: I think this is Oliver Stone's best movie. It has great acting, great writing and captures an ideology on film.

"The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of it's forms - greed for life, for money, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind and greed - you mark my words - will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you."

Film: Volunteers (1985)

DVD: Anamorphic
Volunteers

"It's not that I can't help these people. It's just I don't want to."

Review: This is a funny movie but it is very un-even which prevents it from being great. Tom Hanks and John Candy give great performances but the story is a pretty weak. This is not a movie you search out to watch but it is one that if you come across on playing on TV it will suck you in and you will find yourself watching the whole thing.

"What did I say?"
"Move this log, and I'll sleep with each one of you... It's the easy way."

National Lampoon's Vacation (20th Anniversary Special Edition)

"I'm not sure of his exact height and weight. All I know is that the man was a saint with children and a genius with food additives and he was... CLARK!"

Review: A great movie with Chevy Chase in the best role of his life as Clark Griswald.

"I'm going steady, and I French kiss."
"So? Everybody does that."
"Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it."

"I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park and YOU WANT TO BAIL OUT. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much fucking fun, we'll need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're assholes!"

Film: The Upside of Anger (2005)

DVD: Widescreen 16x9
The Upside of Anger

"Be nice!"
"That's not in my nature."

Review: This was one of the best movies of 2005 in my opinion. Joan Allen was great as the women who when left by her husband, only knows how to cope by drinking and angerly lashing out at her family and friends. This was another great role for Kevin Costner as the neighbor.

"Who should I sleep with, Terry? Women like you? Your age? My age? I don't. You know why? 'Cause younger women are NICE. You take them out, and they're actually grateful. 'Oh look, a steak. Yummy.' You go for a walk after dinner, the air smells nice, they say, 'Thank you. This was NICE. This was FUN. You're FUNNY. Tee-hee-hee.' What should I do, Terry? Settle down and marry some pissed-off thing like you? I'd rather have someone come over and do DENTAL work, EVERY DAY, from my backside, up... through my ASS!"

Film: Under Siege (1992)

Under Siege

"I got tired of coming up with last minute desperate solutions to impossible problems created by other fucking people."

Review: This is Steven Seagal's best movie and it was made by the same director as "The Fugitive". When you throw in Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey as the villains you know it will kick ass.

"Doumer, Doumer, Doumer. Why didn't you hire this person? I don't know what his price would have been, but it would have been WORTH it."

"We've done the battle of the wills. The deck's stacked in my favor. You're just gonna lose again."
"Try me."
"How would you like to spend the next several nights wondering if your crazy, out of work, bum uncle will shave your head while you sleep? See you in the car."

Review: Another great John Hughes movie with John Candy. I think John Hughes is the writer and director that brings out the best of John Candy's talent. The two younger kids are great in this movie as well.

"Do you think she hates me?"
"With a passion."
"Really? Do you think it's the hat?"
"No."
"No? A lot of people hate this hat. It angers a lot of people, just the sight of it."

TV: The Larry Sanders Show - 2nd Season (1993)

DVD: 3 Discs


Review: The rest of the seasons are finally being released. "Larry's Agent", "Artie's Gone" and "Broadcast Nudes" are some of the highlight episodes. There are a lot more celebrity guest stars this season. The bonus features on these DVDs are great.

Quotes:
"Lord, we thank thee for sparing the life of Larry Sanders... I first met Larry in the Spring of 1985. My cruise liner was moored off the coast of Portugal, I think..."
"AMEN!"
"Hank? Hank?"
"Yeah, Buddy?"
"Get the fuck off my bed."

"No more single dates. No more double dates. No more dates!"
"Okay, you're right, no more women. But listen to this, my place in Malibu, just you and me, no chicitas. A few glasses of port, some fine cubanos and maybe, I don't know, a couple of porno tapes..."
"Hank, about a ball game. How about that?"

"You just gave Michael Ovitz the finger. What's wrong with you?"
"Stop, he didn't even see it."
"He didn't need to see it. He can feel it. He is an agent. You know how many times he gets flipped off behind his back in a given week. He's sitting there right now, going 'Wow! Somebody just flipped me off.' It comes from deep down in those guys."

"There's something I did and I want you to tell me it wasn't a mistake."
"That's my job."
"Good."

"You're a hundred percent right. From the time he walked out, all I saw was him fucking my wife. And she was on top!"
"That lazy bastard! I am going to get rid of him now before something ugly happens."
"Artie, I'm fine. I'm a professional."

"C'mon, take a message. 'Well sir, thank you, but I'm a visionary so I'd like you to take your opinion and shove it right up your ass. Regards, Hank Kingsley.' Fax that back to him."

"You agent called."
"He always calls when I'm on the air."
"He'll call back."
"Yeah, he'll call me back tomorrow night when I'm on the air. Trick him, put him through tomorrow night."

"I am not going to be exploited and used!"
"C'mon Darlene! This is Playboy we're talking about. We're not talking about Hustler or Penthouse or Swank or Juggs or Screw..."
"Shhhh! Hey, you promised me that you'll keep this very low profile."
"I am."
"Ah, bullshit! Shouting out the names of some of this country's finest men's publications outside the ladies' crapper is not low profile."

"Phil, shut the fuck up!"
"Artie, Please! I'll handle it. Phil... shut the fuck up."

"Has Larry ever been romantically involved with any of the guests?"
"What the fuck kind of question is that? Do you think we have been busting our balls, doing 1,400 shows, so Larry can get laid? Believe me, if Larry Sanders wanted to fuck talent, he would have been an agent."

The Larry Sanders Show - The Complete First Season

Review: Where are the other seasons? This is an amazing show about what goes on behind the scenes of a network talk show. The dynamic between Larry, Arnie and Hank is so fun to watch and the supporting cast do amazing work.

Quotes:
"I speak fluent bullshit."

"Hey now!"
"Now you see, I just told you to stop saying that."

"What about the time I chipped my tooth on the bathroom urinal? What the FUCK is so comical about that?!"

"And if you stop by here, you can say hello to my good friend, Larry Sanders... Hey now, Larry."
"Fuck off, Hank."
"And over here..."

TV: The King of Queens - 6th Season

DVD: 3 Discs
King of Queens - The Complete Sixth Season

"OH GOD, I'M A MONSTER!!"
"Huh?"
"I'm an accomplice to something terrible. I should just paint a scarlet A on myself. A for Adultery... Then, after this incident passes, I suppose it could stand for 'Arthur'. Well, that worked out well."

Review: This is a good season. The big changes this year was Carrie losing her job at the law firm and Leah Remini getting pregnant. They tried to disguise it as best they could but it became very apparent by the half-way point of the season. The 2 part season opener, Damned Yanky & Awful Bigamy were a few of the best episodes.

"I'm like, that's cool, that's cool. So how are you going to spend your last day here. And she says, get this, any suggestions? Oh, man. I'm in my delivery uniform. She's in her stewardess uniform. It was, it was like the first scene in a porno."

"In a lot of ways, being a lawyer, which I think we can agree we all are, is allot like being a package delivery guy."
"How so, Doug?"
"Oh, well ya knock on doors and hope you don't get bit by a dog."
"Sound like you've been in front of Judge Farnsworth."

"So what are you going to get?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"Heh, how about this. You pick the letter, I pick the number. Live dangerously."
"No, I don't think so. I can't risk ending up with a comb for lunch. I think I'm going to go with Fritos."

"What are you going?"
"Nothing, just, uh, shaving the 'stache."
"Losing the 'stache. Wow!"
"Yeah, I was thinking it was a little too, Motorcycle Cop."
"Really? Because to me it was more, Out-Of-Shape Porn Star."

"Here's the address. Go straight from work and the gallery is in SoHo. It's at an old meat packing warehouse."
"Okay. So they took out beef and moved in art. I have nothing more to say to you."

"See that girl over there. That's Trish Flintoff. I dated her like ten years ago."
"Yeah, what happened?"
"The way I ended things, I was, what you call in the business, a jackass."
"Take it easy man. You have been married for like eight years."
"I know, but I cannot be seen by her. She's on my top three most awkward people to run into list. Right after this friend of my dad who taught me how to 'wrestle'."

"While you were in the hospital after the surgery when you were sleeping, you were moaning all these girls names."
"What?"
"Yeah. Oh, Candice. Oh, Inez. Oooh, Tanya. It was sickening."
"No, those weren't girls. I was having a dream where I was helping someone name a litter of puppies."
"Oh. Well, apparently, two puppies named Britney and Christina were making out with you in a limo."

King of Queens- The Complete Fifth Season

"Doug, we do not fight all the time! We are a loving couple that love each other very much!"
"You just threatened to burn the house down."
"Banter!"
"Why do you care if they heard anyway?"
"Because they don't know it's banter. They don't know that's just our way of airing things out and we'll make love later."
"We will?"
"No, I'm tired."

Review: Another great season with no season arcs, just funny individual episodes. "Mammery Lane", "Cowardly Lyin" and "Bed Spreads" were some of the best.

"I was wondering if I could get an advance on my money for walking Arthur."
"Uh, how much?"
"Like, say, seven hundred dollars worth."
"Seven hundred dollars? I got to be honest, Holly. I don't think he's got seven hundred dollars worth of walks left in him."
"I think he does. Well if it turns out he doesn't, we can certainly talk about some sort of refund."
"You comfortable putting that in writing?"

"What are you saying? You don't think I can handle it?"
"No, no, no! Sure, you can play football again. Why stop there, Doug? Hmm? Why don't you become a super hero, Captain Neckfat! Huh!?"
"That's nice. How long have you had that one in the holster?"
"You're... not... playing... semi-professional football. Okay? It's ridiculous."

"What's the matter? You got a little, Dennis the Menace, on your hands? What, did he put a frog in your desk? Give you a little hotfoot?"
"He feels me up constantly. He grabs my breasts every chance he gets."
"C'mon, he's a kid. That's what kids do and besides, I remember you laughing pretty hard when Deacon's baby used my dealies as a speed bag."
"I'm being sexually harassed, think about it. The kid gropes me. I can't complain about it or I won't get my promotion. That's Sexual Harassment 101."

"Yes, yes, yes, I got a couple pounds on you. No argument there. But don't you kid yourself. You're the one that rules this relationship."
"Oh, I rule the relationship. How do I rule the relationship?"
"With fear. I'm scared of you."
"Hmm, YOU'RE scared of me."
"Yeah, I said it. And frankly, I'm a little scared that I said it."
"You're so full of crap."
"Not crap. Terror."

"Look at you. What happened last night?"
"I went to drop off the vodka and he made me stay and have a drink with him. I don't remember much after that. Except at some point, I was dancing with men. Oh, and I may have played Russian roulette."

"Hey listen, uh. Since you're going to be seeing clearly from now on, I feel I should warn you. I'm a little overweight."

Review: Another solid season from the cast & crew. No real season long story arcs except Deacon & Kelly separate again and Spence & Danny become roommates. The great character of Holly is introduced as Arthur's dog walker.

"Our wives have very different size heads. Carrie, a little small, Kelly, a little big, but they pull it off."
"See now if they switch heads, see, that wouldn't work at all."
"Yeah, but if they did switch heads, who would you go home with?"
"I think you go with the head."

"Carrie's got a retreat with her law firm upstate. Hey listen, Deacon, can I get you to check in on Arthur?"
"There's no, uh, washing or wiping involved, is there?"
"No, he still on top of that."

"I am not moving up to the guest bedroom."
"Dad, you just had surgery, you're on new medication, I think I need to keep an eye on you."
"Keep an eye on me? No thank you, Senator McCarthy!"

"Leave it alone."
"What are you saying? Carrie's so out of my league that I can only get her to marry me by lying."
"Just leave it alone."
"I can't believe you."
"No problem, man. It's not a big deal. Women are just different. They need to think there is some magic fairy dust sprinkled over everything. All a man needs to know is that he's getting something 'special' on his birthday. Just leave it alone and let her believe."

"You know what? You're right. You're absolutely right. I'm sorry. Look, I'll make it up to you. Name it. What is it?"
"Strip."
"What?"
"That's right, a little strip tease. Offsie-Clothsie."
"You just pulled that out of your hat?"
"Oh no. I've been saving this one for a rainy day and it's pouring, sister."
"Well, can't I just melt some cheese on something for you?"
"If that's part of your act, sure."

"Okay look, before you start coping attitude I'm going to the gym again. So with all the extra food, it's a push. This area right here will remain unchanged. That's my pledge to you."

"You see. You were fighting me on this and it went great."
"Yeah! Oh, and by the way, it turns out when you're happily married and you're not desperate to pick someone up, the chicks just start flying at 'cha."
"At Cha? or at Deacon?"

"Meet the future. The prototype of the Arthur's Head Screwdriver. I fashioned it from an old typewriter key. You see, the letter A on the screwdriver will fit into the corresponding A-Hole in the Arthur Head Screw. So, how many units would be an appropriate first order for an item of this magnitude?"

"Hi, I'm Doug. I'm a Pisces. I like walks in the rain and bags of pork rinds."

Review: This is the season where IPS goes on strike and Deacon & Kelly separate, which led to some great episodes.

"He's your boss. This is the perfect chance for you to get some brownie points, you know, stand out from the pack a little bit."
"All right, now I see how we got off track here. See, you want me to stand out from the pack where as I want to remain hidden and obscured by that very same pack. Carrie, it's how I survive, all right. Staying nameless and faceless. Not too good, not too bad, right on the cutting edge of mediocre."

"I'm going to join a gym and start a diet and whip this body into shape because no one is calling me, Fatty McButterpants, anymore."
"Someone called you, Fatty McButterpants?"
"On line at the bank yesterday, yeah."
"And it took seeing the Big & Tall Bag to push you over the edge?"

"Okay, Honey, you're all set. Here's the Speak-and-Say, his binkies, wipes, talc, diapers and butt cream."
"Butt cream? Where's this day heading?"
"Yeah, you wish."
"Like I'd waste a wish on that, huh?"

"Whoaah!!"
"Hello."
"Dad, you can't just come up here! I'm in my bra!"
"Settle down. I've seen better."

"Hey, you know what. I just figured out what I want for dinner. A nice, hot bowl of SHUT IT STEW!"

"Hey. How come you never greet me at the door, naked, like the other wives?"
"What other wives?"
"You know, you read about them."
"I'll get on that."

"Go ahead, man. Pull the trigger. But if you shoot me, Kelly shoots you."
"Yeah, but if Kelly shoots me, Carrie shoots Kellie."
"Then I shoot Carrie."
"Doug, you shoot me and you're never getting sex again!"
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"
"Oh, it's done."

"You've got to be naked to cheat."
"Wrong!!"
"Carrie, so you're telling me, if I met a women and we went out for a dinner or two and then, say I forgot to tell you about it, right? I'd be cheating?"
"YES!"
"Really? And that would be just as bad as if I actually slept with her?"
"YES!"
"Good to know."

"You had a bike?"
"Sure, loved it too. The great open road, rumble of your machine, the camaraderie of your gang brothers."
"You were in a gang?"
"Not really. I asked them to let me in but they drank heavily all weekend and beat me pretty severely."
"Okay."
"And, I think, I may have been compromised by a gentleman named, Road Dog."

Review: This show continues it's excellence into the 2nd season. Assaulted Nuts, Meet By-Product, Wild Cards & Restaurant Row are some of the best episodes of the season.

"Listen, Deb's never met you, so tonight you might want to tone it down a notch."
"What?"
"You know what I'm talking about. I don't want them to think I married a bouncer, you know what I'm saying?"
"TONE IT DOWN?"
"Oh Lord."

"How do we decide who gets the extra ticket?"
"Hey, we can measure something. You know, like the length of something."
"All right."
"Or maybe there's another way."

"There's other things to do in life other than sitting on your ass and watching TV."
"Oh yeah, like WHAT?"
"I don't know. How about I buy you that Discman, huh, work on your abs like you said you would."
"Oh, get real. That was never gonna happen and you know it."

"Now listen to me, I am going upstate for a romantic weekend, you can come or not, but either way. I'm getting some."
"Maybe, I better be there for that."

"It has nothing to do with the girl, it's you. Obviously this thing has turned your whole world upside down."
"What? Has not."
"Oh, please. the nice pants, the cologne, the great sex."
"First of all, the sex was not that good."
"You were great."
"I disagree."
"Doug!"
"Look, my moves were clumsy. I was all over the place. I was out of control. How you got any pleasure out of it is a complete mystery."

"I think I'm going to be sick."
"Well, if you're going to puke, don't puke here, okay. You gotta puke in the bathroom."
"Alright, could you stop saying the word, puke, because it make's me wanna puke."

"Let me ask you a question. Would you say, basically, your life is good right now?"
"Yeah."
"Good wife, good job, the whole thing?"
"Yeah."
"Don't PICK at it!"

Review: This is a great show about an overweight lug and his loudmouthed wife as they deal with her father moving in with them. Every episode of this show gives me at least one good belly laugh. What more could you ask for in a sitcom?

"I think every married couple is entitled to one huge, horrible mistake on the house."
"You do?"
"Yes! I was hoping to save mine for an affair... but I'll use it here."

"...our relationship has been so simple. You know? We watch the games, drink beers, we eat chips, never share a deep feeling or thought. I don't want to LOSE THAT."

"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm going to have to turn the heat down."
"Go ahead, I am getting out anyway. I am in my birthday suit, so look away if your shy."
"Aaaah! Aah!"
"It's called gravity, Douglas, and it's coming for ya."

"There are playing 'Boogie Oogie Oogie'. This is our song."
"It is?"
"You don't remember in Junior High at Kim Eionola's birthday party. This song was on and you asked me to dance."
"Yeah, and you said no."
"I was shy."
"You gave me the finger."

"So, welcome to the 'Todd Had Your Wife Before You Did Club'."
"Hey, Kelly swore they didn't sleep together, they just fooled around."
"Which means what?"
"I didn't ask."
"Actually you've got to give the guy credit. He nailed both our wives and now here we are giving him gifts."

"I just feel so guilty."
"Ok, well look at it this way. Now he hates you, now he won't call you as much."
"I don't want him to hate me. I want him to love me AND not call me."

"I can't wait to have fat, loudmouth babies with you."
"Okay, what does that mean?"

2 Days in the Valley

"You better tell him I'm not fucking around, Susan."
"He's not fucking around."

Review: Probably the best Pulp-Fiction clone out there. Good actors with a good script. Very Entertaining. Danny Aiello played my favorite character.

Favorite Scene: Cat fight between Charlize Theron & Teri Hatcher

"You sit in the chair. He's sitting on the floor. He's a rude little shit and that's his punishment."

True Romance - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)

"Elliot, do I look like a beautiful blonde with big tits and an ass that tastes like French vanilla ice cream?"

Review: This is a very well-made movie that I really respect but it doesn't really float my boat entertainment wise. Except for the great scene between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper. That scene makes the whole movie for me.

"We're gonna have a little Q&A, and at the risk of sounding redundant, please... make your answers genuine."

"Don't condescend me, man. I'll fuckin' kill ya, man."

True Lies

"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Yeah, but they were all bad."

Review: This is James Cameron's twist on an American James Bond-type movie and he knocks the ball out of the park. Arnold is great as a top-secret spy who excels at everything but his family life and Tom Arnold is very funny in his best role ever. This is also the best Post-Cold War spy thriller made so far.

Favorite Scene: The Bathroom Fight

"So your life's in the crapper. So your wife is banging a used car salesman - it's humiliating, I know. But goddamnit, Harry, take it like a man!"

"So far, this is not blowing my skirt up, gentlemen."
