    Has anyone seen "Molly" about a young lady who has autism her whole life, had a experimental surgery proformed, became a genius, and her immune system attacked and she went back to being autisic again.  Based on a true story.


    Never heard of it. Hard to believe someone could become a genius, even momentarily, through surgery?


     Yeah they (the surgeons) drilled a hole onto her head and did something to fix.  Her brother was against the idea but was talked into it, it had a happy/sad ending.

    Ah yes! The old, "We'll just drill a hole in her head to cure her." I think they did that to JFK's sister? Really.

     The Kennedies have sure had their deal of misfortunes for sure.

    Flowers for Algernon?

    Went to see the restoration of Lawrence of Arabia the way it was meant to in a movie house and the pacing and camera work was intoxicating. Not very realistic but a tour de force nevertheless. Lean was among the giants as directors go....

    Trysts how do you feel about Ted Turner coloring some of the old movies he owns?

    Is that why his marriage to Jane Fonda folded?

    To answer winerkleiner question..Jane Fonda got divorced from Ted Turner because she had become a born again christian and he did not like any religious type issues.

    No I agree with you, they should leave the b/w movies as is.  They were made with the technology of their day so leave them as they found them.  They even messed with little Shirley (Temple).  Shame

    I must admit, I don't really mind if they mess with Shirley Temple films, the Mickey Rooney/Andy Hardy films, the Three Stooges, the Dead End Kids, or the Marx Brothers films. SorryEmbarassed

    I don't believe anyone mentioned his films thus far, jason17. I am quite the fan of "Mullholland Drive"(2001), myself!
