didn't want anyone to think "Papa Ratte" had "passed on" so figured I better start the December thread 
Little Nicky (2000) "stupid" comedy about which of Satan's (Harvey Keitel) three sons, Nicky (Adam Sandler), Adrian (Rhys Ifans) and Cassius (Tiny" Lister Jr) is going to replace him when he retires as Satan did his father Grandpa Lucifer (Rodney Dangerfield in one of his last movie rolls) 10 thousand years earlier. cameos by Jon Lovitz, Dana Carvey, Regis Philbin, Bill Walton, Dan Marino, Henry Winkler and Ozzy Osbourne.
critics threw rocks with only a 22% "fresh" from Rotten Tomatoes AND it got "Golden Raspberry" nominations in all their major awards BUT lost all to John Travolta's Battlefield Earth. I thought it had a LOT of really funny site gags and lines and even thought it's a lame plot, I laughed almost constantly., plays again on Starz-Edge Wednesday Dec 3rd @ 11:25 pm and Thursday Dec 4th @ 6:00pm. rate it
of four
also watched two classics back to back on HD Net Movies channel.
The African Queen (1951) stars Humphrey Bogart (received his only Best Actor Oscar) and Katharine Hepburn with Robert Morley, Peter Bull and Theodore Bikel. was a real 'tour de force" for both Bogart and Hepburn and has a rare 100% "fresh" rating from Rotten Tomatoes.
The Defiant Ones (1958) stars Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier as two escaped prisoners shackled together and who must co-operate in order to survive. supporting cast of Theodore Bikel, Charles McGraw, Lon Chaney, Jr, Claude Akins, Kevin Coughlin as the boy Billy and Cara Williams as his mother. yet another "tour de force" this time for Curtis and Portier early in their careers. both were nominated for the Best Actor Oscar as was Bikel for Best Supporting Actor and Cara Williams for Best Supporting Actress.
BOTH well worth watching iF you like the "classics" and hopefully will play again soon on HD Net Movie channel OR Turner Classic Movies. rate bothof four
