You Can't take it With You, a review by Rich

Academy Award Best Picture winner 1938

You Can't take it With You





A film where everything comes in small doses, at times funny, slightly uplifting, a touch moralistic, touching and vaguely inspirational.
I'd hoped for a great performance by James Stewart in this, but as the young stick thin drawling fiance, I was pretty underwhelmed with his performance. Fortunately it was bolstered by Jean Arthur, Edward Arnold and of course Lionel Barrymore.
Overall I found it a little bit disappointing, the so-called liberated characters came across as annoying, it is way too over sentimental, and I could not swallow the fact that big business and corporate greed can be beaten by sitting down playing a harmonica!

Splice, a review by lovemunkey187

Title: Splice
Year: 2009
Director: Vincenzo Natali

Stars:Plot:
Clive and Elsa are a pair of brilliant scientists whose cutting-edge experiments in genetic engineering make them superstars in their field. As devoted to their careers as they are to one another, they start conducting unauthorized experiments with new animal species that show great promise. Drunk with their god-like powers, they introduce human DNA into one of their creations, producing a creature that is greater than the sum of its parts: a rapidly developing animal/human hybrid that may be a step up on the evolutionary ladder. While this female creature inspires maternal feelings in Elsa, she evokes something far-from-paternal in Clive, something that poses a threat to them all. Then, when this seemingly perfect organism makes a final, shocking metamorphosis, it is mankind itself that is threatened._{(From Yahoo movies)}

This is a series I loved to watch as a kid. This is a typical episode. Not much of a series which can be enjoyed as an adult but I guess as a kid it doesn't bother that this is a one-joke premise.
