Well, it looks like I’m starting from scratch this year. 4 out of 5 are in theaters and the 5th comes out on DVD 5 days before the Oscars, so [...]
Another movie that shouldn’t be on this list. Not funny or interesting, I could barely finish watching it, I think I fell asleep, but I don’t remember…
Shrek the Third (Widescreen Edition)
Why was Spiderman 3 one of the top 100 grossing films of all time? I don’t get it. Anyway, I checked this one out at the library, I’m glad I didn’t have to pay to rent it. It was a typical Spider-man, just like the first one. I don’t think this movie belongs on the [...]
I’m not prone to falling asleep during movies, but this one sure did the trick. Maybe it’s a musical thing, anyway, A Star Is Bornwas not my kind of movie. The plot seemed very tired (no pun intended). I was bored with the movie before I fell asleep, but I assumed it would get more [...]
Dear Netflix, how do you know the Movies I’ll <3
So I signed up for Netflix again. It’s been several months since I did the free trial, and now that we’re heading into fall, I think I’ll actually use it. I do have one complaint though, ok make that two…
#1: Why are all the “Watch Instantly” [...]
Did they really say “sheeeeyit” in the 1600s?

Overall, it was a good movie, but a little too long. Very epic. The [...]
Was it really as good as it seemed? Yes, Ebert, it was. I watched The Manchurian Candidate (Special Edition) last night. Excellent! This movie is completely timeless.
And doesn’t Jude Law look like Laurence Harvey?
This film definitely deserves to be on a “greatest films” list. When you think about the plot, it seems fairly simple and boring, but it’s so real. You can feel their pain of living in poverty and needing the bicycle to have a better future. And the cycle continues. Great movie, and the ending [...]
Huh? What a weird movie about nothing… I guess that was the point.
The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie - Criterion Collection
76 to go.
The Sting was really fun. No wonder it was one of the Top 100! A young Robert Redford makes a great con man. What made me laugh during this movie was how easy it was to con people before technology, Internet, cell phones etc. The availability of open/free information just evens the playing field of [...]
Adventures of a twenty-something Pacific Northwester who ditched her marketing job and MBA for a year-long round the world trip. Call it a quarter-life crisis or just the travel bug; either way, this blog documents the adventure.
