From Ross Volker:

ted if you read this i found out about this site because of your brother steve. i saw steve wearing the shirt one day at work and thought i would check it out. i've really enjoyed the stories and 'people' sections. (Notes in red are tedstrong.com's comments.)

here is my favorite movies list in no particular order.

Favorites --
Shawshank Redemption (everyone loves this movie except me, tedstrong.com!)
Meet the parents (funny, but not great)
Star Wars Trilogy (ouch, i find this stuff overrated and corny, Empire's better than Star Wars)
Platoon (pete loves this, but not me)
Saving Private Ryan (this is a good movie)
Pulp Fiction (this is, of course, great)
Goodfellas (again)
Dogma (i thought this was awful, i don't like kevin smith and i can't stand alanis morrisette)
Ace Ventura Pet Detective (i didn't think this was that funny when i saw it)
Terminator 2 (top-notch action and better than the first)
Cheech and Chong 'up in smoke' (haven't seen!)
Major League (don't care for)
The Color Purple (haven't seen!)
The Breakfast Club (haven't seen in ages)
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon ( i like this, not as much as some, but i do like it)
Shaft (fun, interesting choice)
Seven (brilliant movie, did you like Fight Club?)
Casino (good, not as good as Good fellas: key word here is 'good' apparently)
The Ewoks (is this for laughs?)
The Whole Nine Yards (no one liked this, except then they liked it on Siskel and Ebert so I saw it and I thought it had some funny parts)
Unforgiven (great movie)
High Plains Drifter (nice eastwood. dirty harry rules, though)

Worst movies i've seen (i'm sure there is a lot of shit out there i didn't bother to see) --
Dark City (Ebert put this film at the top of his list for BEST film of the year. I yawned through it, but didn't hate it.)
Suburban Commando (hulk hogan, christopher lloyd) (i'm sure)
The English Patient (hold it, hold it, hold it! this film is quite good and won an oscar for the greatest actress of all time, juliette binoche)
Alien movies(Sigourney Weaver) (that's cool. i think the foursome really build something up that will last, even thought the last two didn't do so well with people)
The Waterboy (sure)
The sound of music (wow, i haven't seen the film, but what is this based on?)
Deep Impact (sure)
Anaconda (no, it's fun schlock. you gotta be able to enjoy stuff like this. plus kari wuhrer is in it and have you seen her tits?)
Bait (what is this again?)
Splash (maybe so)
Home Alone (probably so)
jurassic park 2 (definitely so)

Best actors & actresses
morgan freeman (yes)
samuel l jackson (yes)
kevin spacey (yes)
michelle pfeifer (i've tired of her)
bill murray (yes!)
angelina jolie ( a bit much)
tom hanks (a bit too commercial, in that he takes dull, but popular roles over and over again)
elisabeth shue (nice)
alec baldwin (no!)
john belushi (yes)

Worst actors and actresses
adam sandler (his films sucks, but he can be very funny)
jean claude van damme (yes)
steven seagal (yes!)
winona ryder (no! i saw her once in a bookstore.)
sandra bullock (i was shocked by her lovely performance in speed, and it's been straight downhill ever since)
kim basinger (yes)
drew barrymore (no, she's sweet)

sorry if i went overboard (no such thing)
