MAY
THEATRICAL (2)
The Avengers - Awesome.
Dark Shadows - Not so awesome, but entertaining enough.
RE-WATCH (23)
Pulp Fiction - Hadn't seen it in a while and just felt like checking it out again.
Shark Attack 3 - Made some friends watch it. They both hate and love me more because of it.
Troll 2 - Ditto.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life - For V.G. Movie article. Bad.
Role Models - Still hilarious.
Of Mice And Men (x6) - Showed it in class, of course. Great adaptation.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse - For V.G. Movie article. Worse than I remember, but not god-awful.
The Nines - Still awesome and mind-bending.
Chronicle - I liked it as much this time as I did in the theater.
Snatch. - See: Pulp Fiction.
Little Shop of Horrors - Rachel Thuro got me in the mood for this one. And yes, I sang along.
Dodgeball - Had to prep for a Faculty vs. Student dodgeball game the next day.
Bulletproof Monk - I dunno... just felt like it. It's not a great movie... but whatever.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 - Wanted to watch both back-to-back, so I did. This one is fun, but I don't super duper love it.
Kill Bill Vol. 2 - I actually liked this one a lot more than I used to (it used to be reversed, where I preferred Vol 1).
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - For V.G. Movie article. Confusing plot, but some of the best animation and action sequences you will ever see.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - Rare that I re-watch a movie in close proximity to its last watch, but it was there and I was in the mood.
The Skin I Live In - For DemPod. The first hour makes a lot more sense the second time through, and I still really, really liked it.
FIRST TIME (16)
The Re-Animator - For 50/50. Wacky fun.
The Caller - It was alright. Great concept... only decent execution.
Haywire - Eh. I was bored. Awkward action, horrendous acting, bland lead character, nonsensical story, and... I just didn't care.
Shame - Great acting... but at this point almost all I remember is Fassbender's wang and possible incest.
Lone Wolf McQuade - For 50/50. It had some moments of greatness.
Underworld: Awakening - For MILF. Really bad.
Merantau - Fun Indonesian martial arts flick. The story isn't great, but the action is.
The Monster Squad - For 50/50. I needed to see this as a kid, but there was still a lot to like.
The Grey - For 50/50. Conflicted emotions. Not what I was expecting.
Alone in the Dark - For V.G. Movie article. I've seen worse Uwe Boll... but this was still bad.
Escape From New York - For 50/50. Snake is awesome.
The Woman in Black - Decent film. Good acting. Though I couldn't stop watching Dan Radcliffe going "It's Harry Potter... It's Harry Potter..."
The Secret World of Arrietty - For MILF. Not perfect, but a good addition to Studio Ghibli's pantheon.
Jason Lives: Friday the 13th - Part VI - For MILF. Really wacky.
Man on a Ledge - Not perfect, but entertaining. I don't think it deserves all the flak it gets.
Goon - Really boring first half. Good second half. It was alright overall.
CURRENT COUNTTheatrical - 6

You're killing me now, and may have achieved an insurmountable lead. I'm at 192. I watched 32 in May--2 theatrical, 8 rewatches, and 22 new-to-me.
ReplyDeleteNow that you're off for the summer (and I'm not), I imagine your lead will only increase.
You're aided by the fact that you watched one movie six times and while at work, though.
Yeah, Of Mice and Men really boosted me this month.
DeleteI noticed you have “The Nines” on your list of movies you watched again. I can say the same; I love the movie due to the brilliance of the creative aspect of the whole project. I was blown away to see Ryan Reynolds finally in a role that showed the talent I could sense, but not see from his more recent movies. Luckily, my frequent business trips for Dish allow me to watch and prepare articles for my own website, which focus on unique, but beautiful films like “The Nines”. Obviously, this requires research, so I subscribe to Blockbuster @Home, where I can have access to new and old movies. This gives me plenty of relaxation time when I’m not on the clock, to work on my hobby. I hope to see roles that are more beautiful from Ryan Reynolds.

ReplyDeleteGlad to have new commenters! Yeah, The Nines is a pretty fantastic movie. Glad you liked it, too.
DeleteThe big thing that stands out is your distaste for Haywire. Boo to you - it's not fanfuckingtastic, but I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and lol at your Shame comments.
