This is probably going to be one of the shorter entries considering, A., I watched two complete mini-series and B., my attention and time is geared more towards the Oscars at the moment. That been said, let’s dive into this sixth edition of “What I Watched…” The Pacific – Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ companion … Continue reading

Oscar Watch 2011 – The Auxillary Awards
Marty McFly has told me that in a future post, I’ll breakdown the more mainstream categories including Best Picture, Best Actor/Actress and such. So with that in mind, I’ll take this opportunity to rundown the awards categories that nobody really cares about and only watch to see who’s presenting. Visual Effects: “Alice in Wonderland” Ken … Continue reading
What I Watched… (Vol. 5)
Normally, I would have updated this blog on a weekly basis but due to a family emergency and the resulting fallout from that, I had to push back publishing another post for a few weeks. I’m finally ready to get back into the swing of things here, so let’s recap a bunch of movies that … Continue reading
What I Watched… (Vol. 3)
So as I mentioned in the previous What I Watched entry, it was going to be a while before I posted another installment, mainly because I was working my way thru Naruto: Shippuden. I’ve made it through 12 volumes, so now feels like a good time to catch up on what I’ve watched, especially since … Continue reading
100 Years of Movies in 100 Days – Day 100 – State of Play (2009)
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
