Oscar 2010 time! So I almost completed #59 (Watch all 5 10 Best Picture Nominees before the Oscars) in 2008, and then last year around this time I was in Costa Rica, so 2010 it is! I’m starting with 2 for 10 this year, but seriously why are there ten Best Picture nominations? Usually there are only five. I need more time! At least the plan is logistically possible this year, but there are two movies on the list that I don’t think I can bring myself to watch (how are Sandra Bullock and Mariah Carey in Oscar nominated movies Read more…

Two years later, and I’ve finally finished watching the Top 100 Grossing Films of All-Time! I had already seen 68 of the 100, so I averaged about one movie every three weeks. While I’ve enjoyed more of the movies from Ebert’s 102 Movies You Must See list, watching the top 100 grossing gives you an interesting snapshot of American culture through the past 100 years. Some of the movies are hardly classics, but it was fun to consider why they were so popular in the specific decades. My Favorites The Sting Rear Window Around the World in 80 Days Doctor Read more…

Atonement – in theaters Juno – in theaters Michael Clayton – on DVD February 19 No Country for Old Men – in theaters There Will Be Blood – in theaters 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 at least it’s doable. :)

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 list. Were there zero movies out at the same time? Moving on… Spider-Man 3 (Two-Disc Special Edition)
