“Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today.”
A perfect movie, it’s charming and sweet, while still laugh out loud funny; Murray makes “time travel” wacky and delightful.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
“You want to talk to God? Let’s go see him together, I’ve got nothing better to do.”
When this was made, Harrison Ford was the coolest motherfucker on the planet — a soaring adventure, Indy saves the day, thwarts the Nazis, and gets the girl — what more could you possibly want from a film?
★★★★★
A Scanner Darkly
“What does a scanner see? Into the head? Into the heart? Does it see into me? Clearly? Or darkly?”
A majestic film, very close to the book — shot digitally then rendered in beautiful hand-drawn rotoscoping — aside from being a thoroughly engaging story, well acted and beautifully composed, is also acts as a perfect analogy for the pharmaceutical drug industry predicted full by Philip K Dick forty years ago.
★★★★✩
Goodfellas
“You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it’s me, I’m a little fucked up maybe, but I’m funny how, I mean funny like I’m a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I’m here to fuckin’ amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?”
Based on a true story, it paints a full and dark portrait of gangsters while retaining all the style and wisdom Scorsese brings to his films, a must-watch classic, incredibly entertaining.
★★★★★
The Village
“Sometimes we don’t do things we want to do so that others won’t know we want to do them.”
I thought this was better than most did, it’s creepy and built well, and the Shyamalan Twist™ is well earned, but not all that shocking for anyone that lives in the countryside, but thought provoking none-the-less.
