My Thoughts:
I always enjoyed this movie. Alicia Silverstone is great in this one. Too bad her movie career went downhill (though she did make the great "Blast from the Past" later on). I always loved the scene at the end on the stairs.This is also the first appearence of Breckin Meyer I noticed, and of course Paul Rudd.
Dan Hedaya, who played Cher's father, does the same acting like with his other character, Nick Tortelli from Cheers, only not drunk and with dyed hair.

People on Sunday, a review by Danae Cassandra
Where We Are: Germany - Weimar Republic
wikipedia
Menschen am Sonntag (People on SundayOverview:People on Sunday (Menschen am Sonntag). This effervescent, sunlit silent, about a handful of city dwellers (a charming cast of nonprofessionals) enjoying a weekend outing, offers a rare glimpse of Weimar-era Berlin. A unique hybrid of documentary and fictional storytelling, People on Sunday was both an experiment and a mainstream hit that would influence generations of film artists around the world.
My Thoughts:
This was a fascinating movie. While a worthy enough film on its own, it's most interesting as a document of Weimar era Germany. The look at Berlin in 1929, of her people and her robust public transport is a wonderful historical document. I was reminded of Man With a Movie Camera in that the film documents the people and their city. Of course, it doesn't have the camera tricks that film did, and adds a story that we follow as well as the documentary footage. Without the camera tricks the film feels much more realistic. It has a carefree, summery feel, spontaneous and unpretentious. Yet I agree with the view offered in the accompanying documentary, that it is ultimately cynical about the relationship between the sexes, since Brigitte desires to see Wolfgang again next Sunday, but he has plans with his buddy for soccer. Having gotten what he wanted, he has no desire for anything further. Worth watching for the wonderful camera work, the interesting historical Berlin, the nostalgic atmosphere, and the film history connections. Five of the people working on the film went on to do very well in Hollywood (Wilder, the Siodmak brothers, Ulmer & Zinnemann).
Bechdel Test: Fail
Overall: 4/5

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena
Lost
What's the show about?
Does anyone really know that? Officially it's about the survivors of a plane crash who are stranded on a very strange island that is inhabited by even stranger people and "things".
"Pilot"
Oceanic 815 from Sydney to Los Angeles gets way off course and then crashes on an island. The survivors try to get in contact with the rescue party and make theirselves as comfortable as possible until the rescue arrives...
My Opinion
It's a very interesting show, but I have given up to figure out what the island is about, or the Others. For me it's now a great character survey and as that it still works great.
