There is a famous quote that says there is nothing new under the sun. This is only partly true when it comes to our next two films. Flags of Our Fathers and Running With Scissors may be adapted works, but they are completely new creations!

 

Cast: Sarah "Reel Monkey" Bonilla, Ray "Macabre Stalker" Bonilla, and Nate "Boxman" Zoebl

 

Topics:

• Movie Review: Flags of Our Fathers
         o   Noble and respectful from beginning to end.

         o   Ray feels Flags ranks above and beyond most modern war pictures, including
Spielberg's Private Ryan.     

         o   The disjointed storyline may not help things. Make sure to familiarize
yourself with the actors' faces before seeing the movie.

         o   Chopped, Shot, and Scored by Clint Eastwood!

 

 

• Movie Review: Running with Scissors
         o  Based on the popular book, but can it translate well minus the author's commentary?

         o  Annette Benning really would like an Oscar, please.

         o  Amusing but too often seems like little adds up or has significance.

 

Opening Credits: The Godfather Part II - Carmine Coppola & Nina Rota, A New Carpet
