      welcome aboard! Cassie, and Carly when she's available, are the best reaction channel on YT. Hands down. They'll make you remember feelings you forgot you could have. I absolutely love watching old films, new movies, and eternal classics with them. They are, quite honestly, the most empathetic and sweet (and cute) pair you could find to rewatch your favorite movies with.

      There are two versions of Mel's PAYBACK, and both are worth watching. The orig Theatrical Release is "Mel's" while the Director's Cut is NOT - it was the original version and Mel objected to that version, so he had it re-written, re-film and released as The Theatrical version. But the differences are interesting and ;both are action'ers about criminals doing each other dirty.

    The first time I saw Elijah Wood in a movie was as a child actor opposite Macaulay Culkin in a movie entitled “The Good Son” (1993). Elijah Wood once again plays a sweet boy while Macaulay Culkin plays an evil child that’s the polar opposite of Kevin McCallister, his character in the “Home Alone” movies. You might find it worth a look if you like Elijah Wood as a child actor.

It's been one long dark period, make no mistake about it just because you were in high school or whatever your idealizing about that dopey decade. And hey, I was in my 20s in then, living the life, but the 90s was the head-up-the-butt decade and the 80s was the conscious decision to insert it up there. Every problem that exists now started then, and it's even pretty much the same cast of tedious people, the whole miserable 40 years. John Lennon got shot in December of 1980, Reagan took office a month later, and the forces of evil (to use a dopey term that I know subscribers of this channel will understand) have never let up ever since.

    If I am thinking of the same song Cassie was thinking of, that song, "Who wants to live forever", is by Queen and was also featured in 1 of my all-time favorite movies, Highlander. Whenever I hear the words, "Forever Young", I always think of Rod Stewart's song of the same name, which I honestly never knew until just a few years back was actually a remake of an older song. I still remember when I saw this movie back many years ago on VHS about the same time I also saw The Man Without a Face, another movie I think you would both love, but in a different way. I remember both movies made me cry. I forget the reason why, but I never got to see either those movies in theaters when they came out. One thing I appreciated about this movie is how when Gibson's character first woke up, he's freezing and can barely get the words out in his phone call, as opposed to many other sci-fi movies & tv shows where the main lead is thawed out years later, they seem to immediately wake up & adjust quickly to the temperature.

Not some patchwork quilt of different, sophomoric "cat calls" reinforcing what's already obvious. ("Hey, it's Princess Leia -- play Princess Leia music!") Jerry was the consummate musical storyteller; as FOREVER YOUNG illustrates, a Jerry Goldsmith score would, in Director Steve Miner's words, " take you on a journey." Indeed -- and a richly rewarding one at that.

As a one-off it made for an amusing Golden Age homage -- but then JW basically decided to make a career out of regressive scoring, disregarding the sensible advancements that a Herrmann and a Goldsmith produced.

In this movie version of the play by Shakespeare, he portrays Hamlet. The film is very good and far more realistic in the time period than other movie versions. It also has a great cast in Glenn Close, Ian Holm, Helena Bonham Carter, all of whom rise to the levels needed for Shakespeare. And TBH, Carter steals every scene she's in
