Day 30: Your Favorite Movie Adapted From A Book
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 24: A Movie From Your Childhood
THE GOONIES (1985) I struggled with this choice, not for any other reason than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory fought for this spot as well. Both movies were big in my childhood, but The Goonies won out over the… Continue reading
