**Old Yeller** is a really sweet, uplifting film about a boy and his dog!

**Fatal Attraction** is hot - bet lots of guys would like to meet a no-strings-attached, sexy and sweet woman like Glen Close.

**The Shining** had such a cool hotel in a nice, quiet location - I bet Jack Nicholson was able to finally finish that great novel he was writing with his loving family nearby.

_The Sixth Sense_ – I sure hope Bruce Willis managed to patch things up with his wife.

_No Way Out_ – Too bad Kevin Costner never found that “Yuri” guy.

_Star Trek: Generations_ – who cares, this movie sucks.

**Unbreakable** - Bruce and Samuel L. sure will make a great crime-fighting team.

**Glengarry Glen Ross** - Great job landing that sale Jack, you really turned things around.

**Terminator 3** - They’ll stop the nukes in time.

**Whoops Apocalypse** - They’ll stop the nukes in time.

**Failsafe** - They’ll stop the nukes in time.

**WarGames** - Oops.

**Superman Returns** - Damn, Lex Luthor defeated Superman! There’s a bold and unexpected outcome.  
**Casablanca** - it’s so sweet that Rick and Ilsa are going to get back together again!  
**Brief Encounter** - I wonder how these two lovebirds are going to break the news to their spouses?  
**The Bourne Identity** - He woke up from near death to discover he’s got no memory, kick-ass combat skills and a deposit box in a Swiss bank full of fake IDs, money and weaponry. I bet he finds out he’s a tax accountant with a wife and kids in the suburbs.

Sexy? 😕 Watching **Fatal Attraction** , I knew there was some twist at the end. I was sure that the twist was going to be that Glenn Close’s character was a man in drag.

I guess Glenn Close is not my type… 😉

Now that Charlton Heston has escaped from those damn, dirty apes, I just KNOW he’ll find his way back to Earth.

**Fight Club** - I’m glad Ed Norton finally caught on that Tyler Durden was a bad influence and a bit crazy.

**Se7en** - Wasn’t it great when Brad Pitt solved the case! Now he can get back to that sexy wife.\*

**Oldboy** - After all the troubles the hero goes through, at least he gets hooked up with a hot, young girl!

**The Greatest Story Ever Told** - It was nice to see the people of Jerusalem finally accepted Jesus and welcomed him with palms.

\*I’m sure there’s a “head” joke in there, but it’s too early for me to think one up

I had to quit watching _The Princess Bride_ when Humperdinck killed Wesley. What a kick in the crotch … I can’t believe the grandpa would read a story where the hero was murdered by the villain to his grandson.

Like : Wasn’t it great when Brad Pitt solved the case! _I’m sure he’ll **head** back home to that sexy wife now._

I sure am glad Frodo finally got rid of that cursed ring. Now, he’ll go back to the Shire, marry some nice hobbit girl, and live happily ever after.

_Sunset Blvd._ – William Holden looks so silly swimming with all his clothes on. And he sure can hold his breath!

**One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest** - That wacky Jack Nicholson sure livened up things in that dreary asylum, bet that frosty nurse ends up falling for him.

**A Bridge Too Far** - Surrounded, out-numbered and out-gunned - bound to win in the end, this is hollywood.

**Star Wars** - Luke will probably ‘use the force’ or something to blow up the Death Star at the last moment.
