I have this morbid curiosity about The Island of Dr Moreau - was it as awful as people said?

There's people out there who don't think Brando's Corleone
was a majestic performance? I never knew they existed.
I guess it takes all kinds.

I rather liked _The Island Of Dr. Moreau_. It wasn't great but
it wasn't awful. Although I admit I'm a sucker for old-fashioned
pulpy SF. I'd say I enjoyed it more for the story and the spectacle
of it all - none of the characters are remotely sympathetic.
If you don't have a tolerance for overblown man vs. monster
movies, stay away (Brando was great in it, though).

Brando is easily the finest thing in The Freshman and just not very good in The Godfather (and I really don't find what he was conscious of remotely relevant -- he was already reading his lines off cards for chrissakes). I prefer Andrew Bergman's comedies when he just wrote, ie The In-Laws. "Serpentine!"

Harold Lloyd's is still the best comedy titled The Freshman.

The scene in Broderick's dorm room, in which they discuss Curious George, is very touching.

That’s the only line I remember from that film. Clark Kellogg.
