Devil

Star Trek question
Peter Canavese, how do you figure that Sulu's sword is "unearned?" In the original show, Sulu is an expert fencer. |

It was a fun movie. Definitely not excellent, but exciting in a few spots and humorous. And I'm glad I saw it on a big screen. How could I not see our Photographer's Galler... |

Ruggles of Red Gap
Does anyone know how to make a movie request/suggestion to the Stanford Theater? I heard on NPR that "Ruggles of Red Gap" (1935) is supposed to be a great comedy. |

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I enjoyed the movie very much. And I was so happy that Michael Gambon's (Dumbledore) acting improved. His speaking parts were thankfully shorter too. Prior, I couldn't beli... |

not fantastic but not bad
I saw Fantastic Four 2 and thought it was a good bad movie. Forgettable, stupid, and fun. I had peanut m&m's and peanut butter cups--delicious. |
