Dramatis Personae: Best Characters on Film & TV (48 movies items)

"Willard played by Miles Teller. Pretty much everything that came out of his mouth was hilarious. Ren MacCormack: "I've been here, what? Two months? I haven't seen one wet t-shirt contest." Willard: "I don't know what's up with that. If we can't have, just, like, bra-less, wet women here in Beaumont...terrorists win." "

God Says No Dancing

“So, yeah, I watched this movie, even though I missed the first twenty minutes, or something.

I mean, it's not the best movie; it's not the most.... Best. Or whatever. But, eh. Okay, yeah.

It's not as good as "Black Swan", nor as bad as "V for Vendetta".... And, yeah, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the small-town preacherman who passes communist laws in the name of Jesus.

"There is a time to dance."

And there is a time to be all predictable and courtroom-y.

Movies That I Clapped My Heart Out For (7 movies items)

" Ren and Ariel, the two of my most favorite rebels ever! It is the same story as the first footloose, but this new one was SO much better! The actors were hotter and everything was much better executed. My most favorite movie of all time. "

"I facepalmed when I saw this was being remade. but to be honest? It was not as bad as I thought it would be. For me however, Miles Teller made the movie. "

“Actually not bad, in terms of a remake, but I still prefer the original over this. Something about the unknown and not-so-talented (when it comes to the acting) cast of "kids", along with the fact that most of the movie is exactly like the original, just makes this not really worth seeing unless you happen to catch it on TV or happen to have it around. The original is way better, and still holds up today, so really, why was a new version necessary?” read more

" I loved the original movie which is why I initially went to see it and thought this was probably the most underrated movie of the year, it is just different from the original to work"
