Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
John Hughes' four-film high school cycle somehow corresponded with my four years of high school. Sixteen Candles (1984) opened in the summer before my freshman year, and focused on freshmen. The Breakfast Club (1985) came in the spring of my sophomore year, followed by Weird Science (1985) in the summer before my junior year, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) -- about three seniors -- in the summer before my senior year. (After I graduated, Hughes moved onto things like Curly Sue and Home Alone.) read more...

Shanghai Noon (2000)
I'm pleased to report that Shanghai Noon is the best Jackie Chan movie in many moons. In his second Hollywood film Chan teams up with Owen Wilson, the charming, cleverly slow-witted, drawling actor who graced Bottle Rocket (1996), Anaconda (1997), and The Haunting (1999) and co-wrote the screenplays for Bottle Rocket and the brilliant Rushmore (1998). Wilson makes a much better partner for Chan than Chris Tucker did in the annoying Rush Hour (1998), in which Tucker spent the entire movie trying to upstage Chan while the script creaked along behind them. read more...
