TOMANETTI'S TOP TEN MOVIES

I wanted to do something different than what I normally do for this blog entry, so I decided to do a top ten list.  I work at a pizza shop with a few of my friends and we all love movies, so I figured for this entry I would ask them to pick their top two favorite movies and then choose a favorite quote from each.  This is what they came up with:

Old and New

Today, on my drive to school, I noticed that the theater in my hometown, The Oaks, is playing an all-time classic, Casablanca.  It is showing at 11 am on Saturday February 9.  Casablanca is one of those movies that everyone should see in their lifetime.  This movie was rated the number 3 greatest movie of all time, by the American Film Institute in 2007.  The movie holds of the 100 Greatest Movie Lines, according to Premiere in 2007, of “Here’s looking at you, kid.”  If you haven’t seen it you should stop by and check it out, it’s directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.

 

FOX has a new television show that seems to show potential.  The Following is a show about a serial killer and a detective’s hunt for him.  Even though it seems to be like every other crime drama out there is has its own twists and unforeseen turn of events.  The show starts Kevin Bacon and Shawn Ashmore. 

 

 

New in February

Coming up, on February 14^th, another addition will be made to the Die Hard movie dynasty.  A Good Day to Die Hard is the next Bruce Willis action movie to add to your collection.  Although the first 3 movies in this collection are the best, this one can add to the irony of the same thing happening to the same guy. 

 

OTHER POSSIBLE GOOD ACTION MOVIES TO SEE:

   -Bullet to the Head : Sylvester Stallone
 

   -Gangster Squad : Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

   - The Last Stand : Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

Nicholas Sparks is going for another hit with Safe Haven, another romantic love story about the couple that beats the odds.  The difference from the other Nicholas Sparks novel/movies such as The Last Song and The Notebook is that the new movie has elements of mystery and thrill added to it.
