Forrest Gump – Quickie Review
Don’t get me started on how much I hate this movie. How did this movie beat out both Pulp Fiction and The Shawshank Redemption for Best Picture at the Academy Awards?

Those who know me, know I love movies. Those who know me well, know I love Raiders of the Lost Ark. Those who know me best, know I used run around the house wearing nothing but my underwear and blanket tied around my neck, cascading down my back, and answered to the name Super Ginch. …
Near perfect vampire road movie. The film belongs to Bill Paxton.
“Everything’s awesome. Makes people laugh. Vitruvius’s stick is a lollipop.”
Best aerial tank sequence ever, and totally plausible. Sharlto Copley is a hoot.
“Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero.”
“Your mother’s in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I’ll see that she gets it.”
“Well, I’ve wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I’m happy to state I finally won out over it.”
“Generally you don’t see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.”
Over the top action, over the top gore, over the top villains. A kid being thrown into a burning building has never been funnier.
