Movie tag..

   Zelda at the [1]Urban Grind tagged me for a movie survey. I'm in a bit
   of a rush because I've got to get my daughter to the airport and I've
   got to bring the car down to North Carolina for my flight-instructor
   son. These jet-setting kids.

   Anyway, here goes..

   1. The last movie you saw in a theatre, and current-release movie you
   still want to see.

   I hate to admit it, but the last movie I saw was [2]Crank, about a hit
   man who has been injected with a deadly drug. The only way he can stay
   alive is to seek a constant adrenaline rush. The movie I'd like to see
   is [3]The Departed, about Irish Americans behaving badly.

   2. The last movie you rented/purchased for home viewing. 

   [4]Brick. I love anything mystery or film noir-related, and I missed
   it when it first came out. The dialogue took a while to get used to,
   but it was worth the wait.

   3. A movie that made you laugh out loud.

   Thank You For Smoking, anything with Bill Murray (except Broken
   Flowers)

   4. A movie that made you cry.

   Cold Mountain, An Unfinished Life - even with Jennifer Lopez, it was a
   good movie.

   5. A movie that was a darling of the critics, but you didnât think
   lived up to the hype.

   Two movies with genuinely great actors who were so deadpan, they were,
   almost literally, dead. Bill Murray in Broken Flowers and Jack
   Nicholson in About Schmidt.

   6. A movie that you thought was better than the critics.

   All the critics hated Ace Ventura. It was supposed to be stupid, that
   doesn't mean it wasn't funny. It did such a good job of capturing that
   South Florida ambiance.

   7. Favorite animated movie.

   Cowboy Bebop

   8. Favorite Disney Villain

   Iago., the evil parrot played by Gilbert Gottfried in Aladdin.

   9. Favorite movies of all-time (up to five).

   1. Casablanca
   2. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
   3. Breakfast at Tiffanys
   4. Anything by Alfred Hitchcock
   5. most anything by Wes Anderson

   ..and I have to add the Big Lebowski. And most anything by Mel Brooks.
