The Social Network

So last night I watched "The Social Network" with my good friend nancels.  My initial reaction upon my first viewing was that of , uh (shoulder shrug).  I thought it was intelligent, but, well i don't know, i just didn't really connect with it.  So, I'm currently in the middle of my second viewing, I felt that I had to be missing something, and so far, I think I did.  I'm loving it this time, so I'll leave you now to continue watching.

Top Ten!

So here's my list:




10).  "Fletch"--Chevy Chase at his very best.  

9).    "My Beautiful Laundrette"--Hello Daniel-Day Lewis!  You're going places.

8).    "Brazil"--Wow, Robert Deniro, so far removed from "Raging Bull".  Can't wait to see what Terry Glliam has for us in the future.

7).    "The Goonies"--Fun fun flick, I think it will stand the test of time.  I think this will be watched for generations to come.

6).    "Blood Simple"--These Coen Brothers are destined for greatness.  I wish they'd do a real western.

5).    "Witness"--Harrison Ford at the top of his game.  I love the Amish.

4).    "The Breakfast Club"--John Hughes is a great writer.  Who knew he'd be a great director?  I hope he directs more.

3).    "The Color Purple"--Steven Spielberg's best work to date.  This Whoopi Goldberg will surely win an Oscar.  Beautiful film.

2).    "Back To The Future"--Michael J. Fox is such a great talent.  His work opposite Christopher Lloyd makes me want to see more of them together.  I hope Bob Zemekis and Bob Gale have a couple more in them.

1).    "Ran"-- Akira Kurosawa is a genius.

Honorable mention: "Out of Africa"-beautiful, but i fell asleep, twice.

Oh shit, I just realized this is my list from 1985.  What?  You say it's not 1985?  Are you sure?  Oh well, disregard this post.  It will self-destruct in sixty seconds................................


Until Next time folks!  Do something nice for someone.
                               

WELCOME TO FILMLAND

So, dear readers, (if you're still out there?), I'm back. I've decided to come back to the blog world. I know, I know, you're all very excited. If you check it out to the left. I've given a little synopsis of what I'm going to try and be doing with my own little slice of the cyber city. You'll find reviews of everything here. On my schedule, have you. You'll find posts from current films I've been able to see. You'll also find older films being reviewed from my, ever-lengthening, Netflix queue. I might post a poem, or short story. I'll also take any requests from you guys. Anything you want reviewed by someone before you go see/read/or buy it. I'm your guy. I'll be your guinea pig. Or if there's a movie that you absolutely love, that a lot of people hate, ask me to watch it, I will, and I might agree with you, then again, I might not. If there's a topic of discussion, be it religion, politics, food, travel, make-up, and everything else in between, I'll be happy to post a discussion with my thoughts on it as well. So there it is folks. I'm back, for better or worse. I hope you all will enjoy this new blog o' mine. My first real post will appear sometime this week, It will be my top ten films of 2010. Also look for Oscar picks later on this month. Happy New Year folks!Until next time, Be Nice To Someone!
