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
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 88 – Men in Black (1997)
Damn, I had hoped to squeeze in my very first viewing of Good Will Hunting tonight. But alas, due to time constraints, it was not to be. Instead, I went with the shorter Men In Black, complete with Will Smith’s rap song of the same name. This movie actual holds a special place in my … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 86 – The Usual Suspects (1995)
Let me preface this by saying that the only other time I watched The Usual Suspects was when it first came out. I was 14 and the only thing I remember about the movie is an extended action sequence on a cargo ship and the ending leaving me with goosebumps. I think for a while, … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 85 – Forrest Gump (1994)
Having just spent the day at Comic Con in Long Beach, I’m tempted to put the Forrest Gump character into a variety of supehero costumes. But I’ll spare you the trouble since they all end with Forrest either doing somthing dumb and saying, “Stupid is as stupid does,” or running away. I guess if he … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 84 – Tombstone (1993)
OK, this may seem like a bit of a re-tread from an earlier post when I compared My Darling Clementine and Tombstone with one another, but considering how pressed for time I am, I really didn’t have much of a choice. I had originally intended on getting bummed out on Schindler’s List or follow up … Continue reading
100 Years of Moviesin 100 Days – Day 83 – Reservoir Dogs (1992)
I can honestly say this much. It’s a good thing I’ve already watched Reservoir Dogs a bajillion times before today’s screening, because watching Tarantino movie at 6a. is pretty crazy. First off, I’m barely half-awake. Second, I’m watching a movie about double-crossing thieves and Michael Madsen hacking a cop’s ear off while munching on a … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 82 – Terminator 2 (1991)
Another classic from my teen years! I ws originally planning on watching JFK but ran into that familiar issue of not having enough time to screen a three hour movie. So I watch a James Cameron movie instead. There’s logic in there somewhere. I used to pretend to be like Arnold in this movie. Like … Continue reading
