Day 36: The Movie With The Best Soundtrack
THE CROW (1993) I mentioned this before when asked about soundtracks earlier this month. Still hasn’t changed since then and probably never will. It’s hard to top a single album with STP, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Rage Against the… Continue reading

Day 35: The Most Surprising Plot Twist Or Ending
MEMENTO (2000) One of the most brilliantly conceived original ideas I’ve ever seen put on film, it blew me away when it reached its final frames. It’s not so much a plot twist as it is a surprise ending. The… Continue reading

Day 34: Favorite Movie Basted On A Television Series
THE FUGITIVE (1993) I knew that title would be a popular choice, but it’s true. In all sincerity, this is by far the best film adapted from a television series and every studio that attempts to do it since this… Continue reading

THE RAINMAKER (1997) This one was a tough choice. And it wasn’t because I had plenty of rounds in the chamber. I’m a reader, but not a big reader. Nine times out of ten, I’m usually disappointed with film adaptations… Continue reading

Day 29: The Movie That Was Your Biggest Disappointment
THE MATRIX RELOADED/REVOLUTIONS (2003) Since someone else picked Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I really wasn’t too keen on slamming Indiana Jones (even if it was horrible), thankfully I don’t have to in this post.… Continue reading

Day 28: Your Favorite Movie Trilogy Or Franchise
STAR WARS THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK RETURN OF THE JEDI How could I NOT pick this as my favorite movie trilogy? It’s been with me since I was a wee one and I still become child-like whenever I watch these… Continue reading

Day 27: A Movie That Makes You Puke
GHOST (1990) I figured that everyone else was going in the direction of gross-out and to be completely honest, I’ve never had a huge issue with gore. The only thing I used to have issues with was the disembowelment of… Continue reading
