At long last the final day of the journey is here. I’ll post a separate post that looks back on the 100 Day journey in more detail and will add the final video recap tomorrow. But for today, I couldn’t find a better movie to wrap up this journey with than the highly underrated State … Continue reading

100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 99 – Definitely, Maybe (2008)
So here we are, on the eve of the final day. I’m going to save all the sentimentality and nostalgia for tomorrow’s post. Still don’t know what I’m going to end up watching, but it’ll be a spur of the moment thing. I have a few movies in mind, but we’ll see. Anyway, for today, … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 98 – Juno (2007)
Ah yes, the movie where I fell in love with Ellen Page. But I didn’t knock her up, honest. It was Scott Pilgrim‘s fault. Apparently video game rules don’t apply to pregnancy prevention. Of course from here, I fell in love with her again in Smart People, then realized she was in X-Men: The Last … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 97 – V For Vendetta (2006)
Nothing like the vivacious vixen of virtuous vendetta-tude to wind down a day where I’ve spent monitoring the Harry Potter World Premiere from London and then gathering photos of said premiere and then blogging about said premiere. Suffering from Harry Potter burn-out. But still excited for the screening next Wednesday! And then I’m gonna watch … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 96 – Batman Begins (2005)
To kick off the final five movies, today’s movie features the re-birth of the Gotham Knight a.k.a. Batman, featuring Christian Bale as Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight in Batman Begins. Having grown up watching all the Batman movies (I think I still have the giant promo cup from Taco Bell with the Govenator as Mr. Freeze … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 95 – Anchorman (2004)
I’d be re-missed if I didn’t screen a Will Ferrell movie somewhere in the 90’s/2000’s. And since the 90’s left us a while ago and the end of the road is very near (and I have some awesome group of movies lined up to close this thing out) I decided I’d screen one of the … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 94 – Finding Nemo (2003)
Aww Nemo… My favorite part of this movie has always been the turtles ridin’ the E.A.C. (that’s the East Australian Current, duuuuude) I remember absolutely laughing myself to tears when I first saw them in the theater. For me, that’s where the fun begins. Sure Bruce and his shark buddies and the freaky lightbulb fish … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 93 – The Bourne Identity (2002)
So glad I had the opportunity to screen The Bourne Identity. I’d forgotten how the whole trilogy started. I forgot that Chris Cooper and Clive Owen were in the first installment. And the movie is so good that I’m compelled to watch the next two movies right now. Also, earlier today, I went to the … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 92 – Monsters Inc. (2001)
Oh man, I just got back from the Drafthouse screening of Four Lions at the Regent Theater in Westwood Village. (That’s the area around the UCLA campus for the out-of-towners/foreigners). The screening also included a Q&A session with one of the stars of the movie, Kayvan Novak who, along with Nigel Lindsay absolutely steal this … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 91 – Snatch (2000)
So the theme of the evening seems to be hacking one’s arm off. First, James Franco in 127 Hours during a special screening at Landmark Theaters in the rush hour traffic hell that is West L.A. and then today’s Day 91 movie, Snatch, in which Benicio del Toro probably would’ve wanted to think twice about … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 90 – The Matrix (1999)
Since everything is being converted into 3D nowadays, I think no other movie deserves to get the 3D treatment than The Matrix. A total game-changer in the action sci-fi genre. Of course, I’m not SERIOUSLY proposing they convert it to 3D. It’d end up looking like Clash of the Titans. That been said, I remember … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 89 – The Big Lebowski (1998)
Since December will be Jeff Bridges Month (True Grit and TRON: Legacy debut within a week of each other), I thought it might look back on one of my favorite J.B. movies – The Big Lebowski. There’s even a thing called Lebowski Fest, though I’m sure it skew more toward bowling than seeking vengance for … Continue reading
