Movie #280

11/22/2008

280. Silver Streak (1976)
Off DVR, Shown on Fox Movie Channel (uncut, widescreen)
This movie is funny and is a rare chance to see Gene Wilder act, while it's funny it's not a career stand out for him or Pryor though.

Movies #277-279

11/16/2008

279. Role Models (2008)
In Theaters
This movie really delivers on the laughs where it counts and this is easily the best non-Judd Apatow produced comedy that I've seen in a little bit. Paul Rudd is awesome as always and Sean William Scott does surprisingly well with the role also, he's been picking some smart roles recently, like he all of s sudden actually cares about his career. Must Watch

277. Quantum of Solace (2008)
In Theaters
This movie kicks so much ass, that it can't really even be quantified. It's an understatement to say that I was surprised that this was the Marc Foster Bond movie, you know the guy who directed Monster's Ball and Neverland. I love how much different this is from the other Bond movies in that it continues a story from the previous film and really makes it more of a movie instead of just another installment in a franchise. MUST WATCH!!!


278. Suspiria (1977)
Off DVR, Shown on Turner Classic Movies (widescreen, uncut)
Why is this movie considered a classic?? It’s super clunky and drives the viewer to brink of boredom several times, some nice death scenes but they are few and far between. This movie is just odd, but not an endearing oddness.

Movies #275-276

11/05/2008

276. The Kremlin Letter (1970)
Off DVR, Shown on Fox Movie Channel (uncut, widescreen)
This one directed by John Huston is an above average spy movie for the time, must see if you have a fever for some retro cold war spyness.

275. Scanners (1981)
Off DVR, Shown on IFC (widescreen, uncut)
This movie is pretty well done and really executes on the idea that if I concentrate hard enough I can make your head explode. Patrick McGoohan is always a treat to watch also. Must Watch.

Movie #274

11/01/2008

274. Futurama: Benders Game (2008)
Other Means
While overall I enjoyed the first two Futurama direct to DVD movies more than this one, I did still enjoy this movie but the tie in for the Lord of the Rings storyline was pretty weak, I didn’t mind see their spin on LOR but it seemed a little forced to include it in the movie. I’m always happy to see new Futurama material though
