An average movie

I have nothing against Steve Martin but most of  his movies are usually rather lame so I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick. However, the ratings were pretty decent and Roger Ebert really loved the damned thing so there was some hope. Unfortunately, I thought that it was really disappointing and I really had a hard time to care about the story and the character involved. I don’t know,... read more

Description: Comic genius Steve Martin delivers an incredible performance as an engaging small town fire chief who has only one tiny flaw--no, make that one HUGE flaw--his astonishingly long nose. Although he considers it no laughing matter, the hilarity never stops as C.D. Bales (Martin) contends with jerky nose jokes, a bumbling crew of firemen, and his secret love for gorgeous astronomy student Roxanne (Daryl Hannah). Unfortunately, she is attracted to fireman Chris (Rick Rossovich), who's tall on looks and short on conversation. And when C.D. agrees to coach the dumbstruck Chris in his pursuit of the fair maiden, this ticklish triangle d ... (more)

" First Viewing Viewing Date: February 5th Via: Binge Plot: Large-nosed fire chief CD Bales, who has a gift for words, falls in love with the beautiful Roxanne. However, her attention is on the more dim-witted Chris. CD decides to help Chris woo Roxanne by composing letters and telling him what to say. Rating: 6.7/10 Why Did I Watch It? It's an '80s romance film, it stars Steve Martin, it has good ratings, and I was curious about it as I remember seeing this one on the shelf in the video stor"

" Okay, so far, this list has been just a buncha horror cult classics, the kind that make girlfriendless geeks go into a fanboy frenzy (and we're still not done yet, considering the movies that I have listed at numbers 18 and 3). So, it's seems only fitting that we interrupt this genre-specific spree with a non-masculine light-hearted romantic-comedy based on a classic play that has a history longer than Pinocchio's famous woody extension.  In this modern take of the timeless tale of a troub"

"Re-watch - Apr. 3rd I've loved Roxanne ever since I first saw it on cable in the late '80s, and my appreciation for it deepened when I read Cyrano de Bergerac in high school.
