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
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 52 – The Hustler (1961)
It’s all about the first twenty or so minutes of The Hustler that’s wort watching. The back-and-forth exchange between Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason gives me chills every time. (Which is nice considering it’s still 90 degrees at half past nine at night.) The rest of the movie I could really care less about. I … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 51 – Psycho/The Bad Sleep Well (1960)
I tried to sit thru my first Akira Kurosawa movie of this marathon, The Bad Sleep Well, but the bad/missing translation combined with this oppressive heat just irritated me to no end. I wasn’t going to sit thru two hours plus of this horrible half-assed translation. So I switched to the classic Hitchcock suspense movie, … Continue reading
Day 50 Video Review
Here’s the video review at the halfway mark of this long (insane) journey. I’ve set it so that everyone can view. http://www.facebook.com/v/644941070960 Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 50 – Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
You ever have the feeling that you’ve seen a movie but just can’t remember if you really did? Thus is the curious case of Day 50’s movie Anatomy of a Murder. It’s essentially like Law & Order: SVU but with Jimmy Stewart leading the charge instead of Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni. The thing that … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 49 – Touch of Evil (1958)
Everytime I watch Touch of Evil, I always feel dirty, like I need to take a shower to wash the filth off of me. I don’t know if it’s just the atmoshpere of the story, seeing Janet Leigh get harassed and drugged or the obese Orson Welles and the racist, unethical character he portrays. For those who … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 48 – Witness for the Prosecution (1957)
It took a while to get into Witness for the Prosecution. The first twenty minutes or so were a bit slow and I wasn’t sure where it was going. But then John Williams (the actor not the award-winning composer) appears and the murder trail begins and holy smokes, what a great movie! And just when … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 47 – The Killing (1956)
Buried beneath the mountain of classic Stanley Kubrick movies like A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr. Strangelove is a gem of a heist movie called The Killing. The story is very simple – a group of crooks plan out a robbery at a horse-racing track. Only, of course, things don’t go as … Continue reading
