What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

The End (1978)-Burt Reynolds. Burt plays a shallow womanizing divorced dad who discovers he's got a terminal disease. After a failed suicide attempt, he recruits Dom Deluise (a fellow inmate at your friendly local asylum) to help him do the job right. A resounding "Meh".

I caught parts of this as well. He seemed to be a very cool dude.

"Transcendent Man" -2009

Documentary about engineer and futurist Ray Kurzweil, who believes an event he terms "the Singularity" will occur in the next 30 years, which is the development of artificial intelligence and the merging of humanity with that intelligence. It's very thought-provoking stuff, particularly the consideration of the potential for immortality. However I came away from this feeling sorry for Kurzweil, whose primary motivations seem to be the fear of his own death, and the desire to bring his father back from the dead. I also felt his conception of the essence of what it is to be human to be far too focused on intellect and our ability to "calculate," with no real thought given to the aspects of being human that I think are far more important, such as our capacity to feel empathy and compassion for others. But I recommend this documentary if you are interested in subjects such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, longevity research, and just plain old human nature.

I had been contemplating watching this on netflix for a few days. I am a fan of Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise. Was it worth watching?

Sadly, no. The comic potential was vast, but the script was a waste of paper. I love Burt and Dom too, but even Laurel and Hardy couldn't get a giggle out of gags this lame. A wasted opportunity.

"The Killing Of John Lennon" (2006)

"Lifting dialogue directly from notorious assassin Mark David Chapman's real-life journal, director Andrew Piddington paints a chilling portrait of the man who infamously shot John Lennon outside his New York City apartment building in 1980. The film chronicles Chapman's trek from his home on the islands of Hawaii to Lennon's home on the island of Manhattan, where he made history by murdering a living legend."

Disturbing look into the mind and deeds of a freaking lunatic. Very accurate portrayal of events. 7 bananas.

"The Falling Man"- BBC documentary about the 911 jumpers from the WTC and the quest to identify the famous "falling man". 8 bananas.
