Question of the Week:

"What movies have interested you lately and why?"


"That would be easy. A Prairie Home Companion because I love the show and all of the actors are terrific in it."

Christopher Pike, Maple Street


"I saw Wings of Desire and it was a very beautiful movie with a lot of poetry. The story line itself was a bit over the top. It is a very nostalgic film that takes place in Berlin, before the end of the Cold War. It is mostly black and white with some parts in color and it is about angels."

Jessica Reynolds, Princeton University


"I am interested in comedies because they make me laugh. My blood pressure doesn't go up like it does from scary movies. I just watched How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and it was very funny."

Mary Soliman, Freshman, Princeton University


"I really liked The Queen. I think Helen Mirren is an exceptional actress. You got a window into the culture of the Queen, how she maneuvers and how she had to act and the responsibility she had. Whether we like it or not, she has a different culture and it was most enjoyable to see."

Shoshana Parsells, Western Way


"I recently saw Bobby. He often gets overshadowed by his brother, JFK, and this one focused on his life and legacy. I didn't know a lot about him so this was good. I also saw the 007 movie because I like stuff blowing up. It looked like the best one in a number of years and I did like it a lot. The critics gave the actor (Daniel Craig) a hard time before they even saw the movie, but he did an excellent job."

Nick Pelzer, Nassau Street
