Day 46: A Movie That Had The Worst Book Adaptation
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (2009) I’m not going to sit here and nitpick this movie because I honestly like the series. This was a hard category today, because I don’t read a lot (I do read considerably more… Continue reading

Day 45: A Movie That Makes You Want To Be A Kid Again
THE SANDLOT (1993) By far one of the best kid movies that’s been made in the past 20 years. It’s a great summer movie, baseball movie and it’s hilarious. I never had as many friends as Smalls had made in… Continue reading

Day 44: Favorite Animated Feature Film
WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988) I almost went in a different direction but glad I thought of this film last night. This film skillfully, ingeniously, and seamlessly combined live action with animation. You can’t deny that this isn’t an animated… Continue reading

Day 43: Favorite Documentary Film

Day 40: A Movie You Wish More People Would've Seen
BRICK (2005) I think this was a hard film for the general viewing public to want to watch. Brick was a film festival darling and because of it, it never reached many theaters. And that’s too bad, because it’s amazing.… Continue reading

Day 39: A Movie That Used To Love But Now Hate
MOONRAKER (1979) I loved this movie when I was a kid. Then I grew up and watched it again. It hasn’t aged well and I’ve discovered that studios will do anything to help promote James Bond to whatever is popular… Continue reading

Day 38: A Movie That Challenged Your Opinion About Something
DEAD MAN WALKING (1995) Anyone who’s met me knows that I stand right of center when it comes to politics and most social issues. I was a staunch supporter of the death penalty before I read this book and saw… Continue reading

Day 37: A Movie Premise That Makes You Say, "Now Why Didn't I Think Of That?"
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004) Everyone has had those thoughts, those desires to erase the memories of a failed relationship. Even if not everyone, at least I knew that I had and when I saw this film for… Continue reading
