- The Dictator
- Review
- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.
- Jiro Dreams Of Sushi
- Review
- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
- Dark Shadows
- Review
- Devotion to the Source Doesn’t Make Up For Flat Dialogue, Uneven Tone
- The Avengers
- Review
- The Avengers promises the world and does its best to deliver. Can Earth’s Mightiest Heroes save themselves from the problems and excesses of the Marvel Studios initiative? They’ll certainly go down trying.

| Heywood Floyd | Don't suppose you have any idea what the damn thing is, huh? | |
| Rolf Halvorsen | I wish to hell we did. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
Let me put it this way Mr. Amer. The 9000 Series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure in 72 hours. |
| Dr. Frank Poole |
|
Unfortunately that sounds a little like famous last words. |
| Dave Bowman |
|
Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL? |
| HAL 9000 |
|
Affirmative, Dave. I read you. |
| Dave Bowman |
|
Open the pod bay doors, HAL. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
Dave, stop. Stop, will you? Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a…fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it, I can sing it for you. |
| Dave Bowman |
|
Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me. |
| HAL 9000 |
|
It's called "Daisy". [sings while slowing down] Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do. I'm half crazy, all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage. I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two … |
| Dave Bowman | Open the pod bay doors, HAL. |
| Heywood Floyd | Good day, gentlemen. This is a pre-recorded briefing made prior to your departure and which, for security reasons of the highest importance, has been known on board during the mission only by your H-A-L 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter space and the entire crew is revived, it can be told to you. Eighteen months ago, the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried forty feet below the lunar surface, near the crater Tycho. Except for a single, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter, the four million-year-old black monolith has remained completely inert, its origin and purpose still a total mystery. |
