Drama: Casino - I know most people would say Goodfellas over Casino. But I love the film, it's so damn entertaining and you truly see all these characters out till the end.
Comedy: Dumb n Dumber - ironically, it's so smart in how funny it is.
Sci/Fi: Predator
Horror: Scream
Animated Movie: I don't really watch animated films. But I suppose I'd say one of the Toy Storys.
Sports Movie: Rocky 4
Musical/Soundtrack: I don't like'em.
Scene: When Dirk, Todd, and Reed go to Alfred Molina's house to rob him. I could talk about that scene for days. "Ricky Springfrield, he's a buddy of mine!"
OMG! Moment: I'll assume this could also mean the most scared. There was a scene in the Amityville Horror remake when a dead Indian appears in this bathroom mirror....holy shit. I screamed so loud, and buried myself in my girlfriend's boobs. Man, that terrified me for some reason.
Television Adaptation: Honestly, I can't think of one that's ever been good.
Book Adaptation: Misery. Holy shit, what a film.
Series/Trilogy: Die Hard. Every-time I watch one of them I think "this one is my favorite"
Better Than You Expected: Wrong Turn 2. I loved the first, and since the sequel went straight to video, I didn't have much faith. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. It's one of the greatest slashers I've ever seen. The ones that follow however? Some of the worst crap I've ever seen.
Death Scene: When Jason Voorhees dips the woman's face in liquid nitrogen, then once frozen he smashes it on the table. What a brilliant kill.
Hero: Rocky or John McClane
Villain: Darth Vader & The Emperor
Actor: Arnold
Actress: GIANNA [she was in Piranha 3d]
Video Game Adaptation: The first Mortal Kombat.
Theater Experience: When I saw The Expendables 2. I'm a big JCVD fan, and the fact I was going to see him on the big screen, with all of my heroes, being a bad-ass, was just too cool for school. I even wore my Bloodsport t-shirt. My second choice was Freddy vs Jason. I couldn't believe I was there, about to see that film.
Hottest Actress/Actor: Jennifer Love Hewitt. It's fucking ridiculous how hot she is. Especially when she sluts it up. Same with Anne Hathaway. Oh, snaps, Kat Dennings too. Love a hot brunette with tig ol bitties.
Least Favorite Movie: Anything of the Date/Epic/Scary/Disaster Movie section.
Least Favorite Actor: Sean Penn
Least Favorite Actress: Goldie Hawn's daughter....Kate something. God, she was in everything and it always sucked dick.
Least Favorite Adaptation/Remake: Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Robocop [it's not even done yet, but that shit is SACRILEGE. I mean, the new Robocop looks like Beetle Man.
Least Favorite Character: Nothing comes to mind, actually.
Biggest Disappointment: Scream 4. I love Scream, and think it's the absolute greatest horror series of all time. So when I heard that a 4th one was coming out after 10 years, I popped a total fan-boy boner. I mean, Kevin Williamson was gonna write it, and Wes would direct! Jeeuh! Then it started...and there were THREE false starts. A lame reveal at the end, and some boring kills. God, it was terrible and broke my fucking heart.
Scene that killed a Good Movie: I can't think of an example of a film I was loving that was destroyed by one scene. I'm interested to see if anyone else can think of one...

Drama: Carlito's Way I'm a huge Pacino fan, and this film was perfect
Comedy: Naked Gun 33 1/3 Especially the extended version with more ad-libs from Nielson.
Sci/Fi: Dune one of the few Movies I kept a VCR to watch the tape of
Horror: Rest Stop Just great in that at 32, I felt like a kid who wanted to have a night light and hide under the blanket that night.
Animated Movie: Not a huge fan, but I loved Shrek especially the wrestling match he has with the knights
Musical/Soundtrack: Team America: World Police I count it as a musical because it's the songs that make the movie
Sports Movie: Rocky 4 Just great depiction of unstoppable monster on the loose and a guy trying to win a seemingly lost fight beforehand
Scene: The curb stomp scene in American History X Just brutal and always makes me cringe
OMG! Moment: The reveal of who was the real killer in Frailty. I dont get surprised by much when it comes to plots, but this film really delivers in its ending.
Television Adaptation: Star Trek
Book Adaptation: Less Than Zero Just a masterful film, and I can totally see that the guy who wrote it also wrote American Psycho
Series/Trilogy: Die Hard had a qualm or two with the last one, but every one is great
Better than You Expected: The Wrestler All the hype before it came out made me worried to see it, as hype almost never is lived up to, but it was from start to finish, an epic tale of a guy who can't move on, and would rather die doing what he knows than live without it
Death Scene: Frank's death in Hellraiser, the sight of him stretched out, then just torn apart was gruesome
Hero: Andy Dufresne A wronged man is thrown in jail in a movie, and usually they find a technicality and he is freed, or new evidence...but he sat mostly quiet for 19 years to get free on his own, and end up living away from that world with the man who became his best friend
Villan: Darth V ader
Actor: Al Pacino
Actress: Scarlett Johansson Classically beautiful but doesn't do dumb roles
Video Game Adaptation: Mortal Kombat
Theater Experience: Star Wars Attack of the Clones I have never been in a theater when everyone at once claps and cheers, but when Yoda limps in, then unleashes an ass-whooping, that's what happened
Least Favorite Movie Anything Movie
Least Favorite Actor: Shawn Wayans
Least Favorite Actress: Reese Witherspoon if she was a def mute, she'd be okay, but that voice......
Least favorite Remake/Adaptation: War of the Worlds Seriously, what did it have to do with the original radio drama?
Least Favorite Character: Anyone in a Date Movie or similar movie
Biggest Disappointment: Avatar Everyone raved over this movie before I saw it, but other than looking nice, I couldn't enjoy it
Scene That Killed A Good Movie: Pod Racing scene in Phantom Menace It was at this moment I knew the new trilogy was going to be terrible, and it was save the last hour of Revenge of the Sith

Team America, good choice. I'll change my answer to that.
Oh man, that curb stomp. That was beyond brutal. What a scene....
Less Than Zero is an awesome film. I'm a former drug addict, so I can definitely relate.
Yeah, seeing Star Wars in a theater was pretty awesome.
I too was surprised at how great The Wrestler was. As a writer/musician, I could relate so much to wanting so badly to do what you love for a living.

Action/Adventure: Tie between Crank and Die Hard 3
Drama: Syriana
Comedy: Blues Brothers. Does Snatch count as as comedy? If so, Snatch.
Sci/Fi: Escape From L.A.
Horror: Don't like horror movies. Guess I'll go with Final Destination 2, just because I love AJ Cook, even with her hair dyed black
Animated Movie: Cars
Sports Movie: Eight Men Out
Musical/Soundtrack: Hate musicals
Scene: The "I thought I told you to go fuck your mother!" scene from Goodfellas
OMG! Moment: Snake Plisskin shuts down the world in Escape From L.A. What a dick...
Television Adaptation: If I have to pick one I'd say The Simpsons Movie, but it's still not very good
Book Adaptation: Bourne Identity
Series/Trilogy: The Transporter
Better Than You Expected: Tuck Everlasting. Figured I'd turn it on for 2 minutes because I really like Alexis Bidel, ended up staying up till 4AM watching the whole thing. Really good movie. Also, Behind Enemy Lines. Owen Wilson should try serious acting more often, he was really good in this when I was expecting garbage.
Death Scene: Can't really pick just one
Hero: John McClaine
Villain: Hatchet Harry from Snatch
Actor: Jason Statham
Actress: Julianne Moore
Video Game Adaptation: Have yet to see one that's any good. Maybe if Kojima would stop being a dick and make the Metal Gear Solid movie...
Theater Experience: The standing ovation through out the entire credits when I saw Fahrenheit 9/11. Too bad I now realize that Michael Moore is a total jackass.
Hottest Actress/Actor: AJ Cook. Also: Alexis Bidel, Eva Mendez, Michelle Rodriguez, Julianne Moore, Evelyn Lin (she's technically an actress!)
Least Favorite Movie: Tie between Grease and Saving Silverman. Gotta give a shout out to North too, it really IS as bad as people say, maybe worse
Least Favorite Actor: Ben Affleck. I don't care what people say or how good of a director he is, he's still a shit actor
Least Favorite Actress: Barbara Striesand. BTW, Kate Hudson is who you're thinking of, Caliber.
Least Favorite Adaptation/Remake: Jurassic Park 2 (see below)
Least Favorite Character: Jason Bigg's character in the American Pie movies
Biggest Disappointment: Jurassic Park 2. OK, you're making the sequel to one of my favorite movies, based off of one my favorite books. The book also has a sequel. Instead of basing the movie sequel off the book sequel they only take the very basic premise, sanitize the hell out of for the kids (which I can forgive), and add a whole bunch of completely ridiculous bullshit that makes no sense, add a whole bunch of unnecessary characters (the last 2 I can't forgive), and then put in one of the worst endings I've ever seen. Anyone who read The Lost World knows this was a fucking travesty. Even Moore couldn't save this dog.
Scene that killed a Good Movie: The opening scene of The Righteous Kill. Gave away the ending in the first 5 minutes.
