Planned Parenthood has -- believe it or not -- save many lives through medical services other than abortion, and has saved the lives of many women who would have gotten illegal abortions.

Great steaks at low prices. MILKSHAKES!

This has probably kept me from being obese.

First fell in love with "Kiss With a Fist" and now have two albums. Not typical pop crap.

The humor just snaps and character flaws are real and highly forgivable. Beautiful, dry, but not filmed mostly on location -- the crew had to collect tons of leaves when Hitchcock took them back to Hollywood for sound stage filming.

Tired of teeny-bopper "romance" horrors? Vampire love stories? This trilogy is like a ball peen hammer to the forehead. No one glitters. A lot of people die, but no one glitters.

The feel-good movie of the 21st Century, a gloriously uplifting family story with scents lavender and honeysuckle. A gentle movie to remind us of what it means to be human in an inhumane era. Is this the movie that will bring peace to our time and end hunger, disease, and human cruelty? It has changed my life. I'm going to start an act with my girlfriend, her two dogs, my two cats, and an orphan.

Hot. Hot, hot, hot. VERY S&M.

The United States of America is entering what will be it's hardest era ever. The super-rich and their short-sighted lust for more will lead my country, and my world, to the brink.

This is a place for inspiration and genius. I hated 'Eat, Pray, Love,' but loved the author's talk. Same with J.K. Rowling. Steve Jobs was brilliant. There is a lifetime of learning and joy here.

Not only do I get to hear a wider range of music without commercials, I don't have to buy something just because the radio won't play it often enough.

I haven't even seen this, but freakin' HELL, you're going to remake a movie with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw? With JOHN TRAVOLTA? Um, no. Hell no!

The funniest, saddest, darkest, bloodiest movie I've seen in years. Not for the Ashton Kutcher/Sandra Bullock set. Hard to watch. Great scene with two hit men, a pile of drugs, two hookers, and a racist American dwarf.

Take crazy people AND MORMONS, mix thoroughly, add sex, bondage, kidnapping, "Spirit Booger" and the Booger clones, and watch. What comes out is memorable and funny as hell.

This movie was made with something like three bucks and a borrowed car. To pull it off, every scene had to be sparse, vital, and intense. Brit Marling is more beautiful here than any supermodel, and the last three-quarters of a second will take your breath away.

This is the kind of movie that gives you hope for film. Somehow, without being a sequel, without anyone from "Lost," Spielberg, or a comic-book franchise, this movie has actually reached theaters and is terrific. McDonagh, like his brother, knows comedy, sadness, dark humor, realistic oddballs, and ambiguity all go together to make a nice, Irish stew.

The best so far. Episode 2 is a little weak, but 1 and 3 are killer.

This is one of those books you can't describe. It isn't 1984, it isn't a post-apocalyptic survival novel, there are no bad guys, and the story is told in a wonderful, lyrical non-linear fashion.

When you own cats and your girlfriend owns dogs, this is a great basis for a screaming argument! ;-)

Great food, beautiful art, wonderful shopping, history, architecture, just wonderful.
Cons: Nothing out of the expected: tourists (this IS Italy), crowded, etc.
