One of the all time best Sci Fi movies ever was "Blade Runner" from 1982 with Harrison Ford, Sean young, and Rutger Hauer as well as a bunch of other talent....
It's a must see for anyone that has not seen it.....

With Donald Sutherland and Max Von Sydow it's worth a look.  |

Very Bad Things (Christian Slater, Daniel Stern, Jon Favreau, Jeremy Piven) Vegas Bachelor party goes bad. Critics hated this movie, it's a riot.
Things To Do In Denver When Your Dead (Andy Garcia, Christopher Walken) Gangster movie
Law Abiding Citizen (Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx) Awesome vigil anti-movie, just saw it this weekend and watched it twice. |

Have to check out Phoenix. Liotta was also good in Something Wild, Unlawful Entry, Copland, No Escape, and of course Good Fellas. |

#23 Posted: 3/2/2010 3:41:23 PM I saw a movie last night called "The Music of Chance" It's old (from 1993) but it was fantastic! It's about a poker player and a guy who fronts him cash to play against a couple millionaires, but they both end up losing their shirt and is forced to pay off their debt. I thought it was really well done, and goes to show what happens when you get in over your head. |

It has Stiller of course, Patricia Arquette, Alan Alda, Lily Tomlin, George Segal, Mary Tyler Moore, Richard Jenkins, a younger Josh Brolin and Tea Leoni. This is probably my favorite Ben Stiller movie as there are some great performances in it. I think it made about 14 million total in theaters.
Well done movie , but scenes a little too disturbing to me. Have no one under 30 yrs old when you watch it.......
