So yesterday’s burst of anger was quickly subdued with an impromptu viewing of The Sting, which I then just finished re-watching again, just now. I think it’s the combination of The Entertainer being played on the piano (always liked that song) and the flawless chemistry between Paul Newman and Robert Redford. That and I opened … Continue reading

100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 63 – The Godfather (1972)
Since I’m madder that Sonny Corleone right now and my knuckles are a bit numb from punching the heavy bag in frustration for the past ten minutes, I’m gonna keep this one short. If The Social Network taught me anything, it was to not blog when you’re angry, no matter how cathartic it may be. … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 62 – Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
Originally I had planned on watching Straw Dogs but since I’m not particularily in the mood to watch Susan George get brutally raped or watch Dustin Hoffman lose his freakin’ mind defending his house/life/wife I instead switched to my second choice – Diamonds Are Forever if, for any other reason, just to watch Jill St. … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 61 – Patton (1970)
Well, the 60’s were a pretty unimpressive blur. Can’t believe I start the 1970s tonight. Tonight, George C. Scott as Patton beats out the other war movie MASH. Thing is, I actually liked MASH more than Patton, but I figured it was due another viewing. In short, Patton amounts to almost three hours of George … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 60 – Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Well, I had intended on watching True Grit seeing as how it’s the movie where John Wayne won his one and only Acacdemy Award for acting and is being re-made by the Coen Bros. into what looks to be an awesome movie. But alas, Netflix failed me, classifying the movie as a “short wait” so … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 59 – Night of the Living Dead (1968)
It would be easy to resign myself to another Leone classic, but there’s only one thing that can top that – zombies! Specifically, George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Since the premise of this movie can be summed up in one sentence, I thought it might be interesting to carry the notion that … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 58 – The Dirty Dozen (1967)
Now THIS is a movie! Loved The Dirty Dozen the first time I watched it and loved it the second time around. Think of this, essentially, as The Inglorious Basterds before there was Inglorious Basterds. Or perhaps The Expendables but with a better storyline. Then subtract Tarantino and the Stallone Brigade and add a whole … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 57 – Blow-Up (1966)
What the hell did I just watch? Seriously, this had to be the most boring movie I’ve seen yet! I’m more curious to know who these people are who gave it an 7.6 out of 10 star rating on IMDB. I’m not even going to bother reviewing this movie. Seriously, what a waste of time! … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 56 – For A Few Dollars More (1965)
Originally, I was planning on viewing Russ Meyer’s babes and boob-fest Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! but seeing as I was unable to get my hands on a copy of that movie, nor find a full copy (legally) online, I thought of paying homage to Tony Curtis who died yesterday. But then, I’m not in a … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 55 – Goldfinger (1964)
Wow, so many great movies for this year! I wanted to switch today since Tony Curtis died this morning, but unfortunately, there wasn’t anything under his filmography worth watching. Perhaps The Great Race tomorrow instead of Faster Pussy Cat! Kill! Kill! But I digress… So, Goldfinger. You can’t fault me for having a sense of … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 54 – Charade (1963)
Back in my early-20’s (man, it pains me to say that) when a classic actress by the name of Audrey Hepburn appeared on my movie radar screen, I went on a binge, watching almost every Hepburn movie that existed. Along with Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Roman Holiday, I spent an entire weekend devouring classic Hepburn … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 53 – Lolita (1962)
Guys, you know what they say about jailbait. You keep getting older and they stay the same age. And thus we begin a quick overview of Stanley Kubrick‘s Lolita. This movie is just smothered with illicit sin-suality. I freakin’ love Peter Sellers in this movie too. It’d be easy to say this movie is just … Continue reading
