Horse Feathers 1932
Some good gags and the usual one liners, but one of the weaker Marx Brothers efforts.

Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol 1987
These cops get good training. Not only are all of them able to suddenly expertly fly stunt bi-planes - including Sharon Stone's reporter character - but they can perform rolls and crazy maneuvers as well.
Then there's the fact that Leslie Easterbrook has the line "there's the ninja, let's get him". That's a win right there.
Movie suddenly stops for a 5-10 minute skateboarding sequence (featuring Tony Hawk and Lance Mountain and via stunt performer we're led to imagine David Spade as well) through the streets of Toronto.

Police Academy 3: Back in Training 1986
The police dispatch computer is a Commodore 64. 'Nuff said.

The Last Stand 2013
I like a movie that doesn't rush too fast into the action like a lot of newer titles tend to do without allowing the audience to get to know the characters or the world, but this one really drags its feet. The first hour is incredibly slow and starts to drag around the 45 minute mark but then the second half kicks in and that's when the fun begins. Not a great movie, but not an awful one either. I think the best word to describe this is harmless entertainment.

Sweet movie and Rogan and Streisand play well off each other.

Watching this is like sleeping with your eyes open.

The Trouble with Harry 1955
This is my least favorite Hitchcock film. It drags, the characters grow tiresome - especially John Forsythe whose artist is a bit of an ass - as does the situation.
This Blu-ray really pops though as the autumn colors look fabulous in 1080p and Herrmann's score sounds crisp and clean.
Ahh but you have to love the 50s, where a request for a "double bed" by a couple about to be married has to be whispered because it's taboo. I…
