Roger Ebert

Rest in Peace
06/18/1942-04/04/2013

A prolific, smart and witty movie crictic. The first film critic to win a Pulitzer Prize.
And so kind; during his illness he welcomed friends, visitors and loved ones to share in his joy and memories.
My mom and I used to watch him and Gene on Siskel and Ebert when I was a kid.


- review from Showgirls (1995)

"Nomi catches the eye of Cristal Connors, the star of the big show at the Stardust. Cristal is a slippery bisexual beauty who takes her boyfriend to the Cheetah and treats him to a lap-dance from Nomi, who doesn't like Cristal, but goes along for $500, under orders from her pimp. If all lap-dancers get as carried away as Nomi does, I'll bet they're constantly seeing a chiropractor about their backs."

TOP FUNNIEST MOVIES

(So we got your gems like The Philadelphia Story and When Harry Met Sally which are funny, but more so humorous and clever rather than laugh out loud funny. Now I've tried to pinpoint those which cause a guffaw). And here they are (sorry Joe, kinda short, I'll do better next time)...

Raising Arizona
My favorite.

Holly Hunter, Nicolas Cage. The scene where they are stealing diapers from a convenience store and Nic with the panty hose over his head. LMAO.

Son, you've got a panty on your head.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Well once scene. Enema.

Step Brothers
Vulgar and silly and laughing on the floor stupid.

Brennan Huff: Listen, I know that we started out as foe. But after that courageous act that you showed me against the one they call Derek, maybe someday we could become friends. Friends who ride majestic, translucent steeds, shooting flaming arrows across the bridge of Hemdale.

Dale Doback: I would follow you into the mists of Avalon if that's what you mean.

9 to 5
Just have to love it. Fast, witty, endearing, kooky.
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and the one and only Dolly.

Best in Show
This famous comedy troupe proves being barely believable but absolutely wacky means the ride we go on is very funny.

Buck Laughlin: And to think that in some countries these dogs are eaten.
