Variety Time (1948)
Worth watching, nostalgic.
Paar is very smooth, and funnier than a lot of stuff around today. The novelty dance trio mentioned by the earlier reviewer is a knockout. Almost literally. It's good to have some of this vaudeville preserved so that audiences today can see how really hard these folks worked. The tap dance duo is also worth watching for. Comedy fans may be interested in the prehistoric sitcoms with Leon Errol and Edgar Kennedy. Paar helps us have a good laugh AT the two silent films that are shown in brief. Very corny stuff. Some of the bits don't even come close to working, such as the Hans Conried sketch. Thank goodness for TiVo so you can zip through some of the bad stuff and catch some unique and nostalgic stuff.
Heaven's Gate (1980)
Downhill slide for Cimino...
I saw Heaven's Gate, and I remember hating it. It is actually the first time that a movie was SO bad, people went back and re-examined their opinion of an earlier effort by the director (Deerhunter) and DOWNGRADED IT. (I never liked Deerhunter either.)
Band of Brothers (2001)
the Greatest Generation in action
A little hard to get through some of the violent scenes - but worth it. Should be required viewing for the kids who might easily forget "the Greatest Generation" and what they did for us. Let's not let their sacrifices ever prove wasted.
