You can check out the latest in my quest for 100 movies and 50 books in one year. I am still on pace for both. So woo-hoo!
Also, a blanket offer for Netflix friendship. Ahh, what passes for friendship in this modern disconnected age.

List Update
Posted in Books, Movies on 12 March 2008 | Leave a Comment »
OK folks, added in a few weeks of watching and reading. Also updated the book page on what I mean by my categories. I have two books on the bookshelf that aren’t listed. (actually on the bookshelf, one on the nightstand, because I accidentally left them at home and don’t know the titles off hand). [...]
Movie Review: No Country for Old Men
Posted in Movies, Reviews on 10 December 2007 | 1 Comment »
This movie is a masterpiece of cinema. It is the only movie I’ve ever watched that changed the way I will watch movies in the future. The Coen brothers should win Best Director. Tommy Lee Jones should win Best Actor. Whatever you do, don’t go watch this movie.
What?
That’s right; I have fallen head over heels [...]

Just a couple more points to underline how awesome this movie was.
1) My family and I spent the next hour talking non stop about the movie, always a good sign.
2) My wife loved the movie and wants to go back. She was both too old and too female to be into the cartoon as a [...]
Review: Transformers

Finally! A summer blockbuster worthy of the billing! Transformers was an excellent movie. I went in with apprehension. I was afraid it wouldn’t be true to the legacy. I was also afraid it would be a special effects monster that forgot such subtleties as plot and character. Both were proven unfounded.
There were three things I [...]
Evil Dead Remake

Yes, I was messing around on IMDB this evening while watching Evil Dead II when I saw that they are currently in pre-production on a remake of the original Evil Dead.
At first I was very excited. Then I read some more. Problem #1) Bruce Campbell has no involvement. 2) Not only no Bruce, but there [...]
Review: Spider-Man 3

OK neighbors, so begins my oddyssey to see the movies on my list. Yesterday I took my son to see Spider-Man. I’m really hoping things go up from here. Spidey was a huge dissappointment. I know summer movies are supposed to be big, but Spidey got too big. It was too long, with too many [...]

OK folks, since the summer movie season is now upon us, officially starting with the release of Spider-Man 3 last weekend, I thought I’d give you my list of “must sees” for the season. Thank God for Entertainment Weekly’s preview! So, here’s my list…and I’d love to see yours. Release dates are in parentheses. The [...]
