In what has unknowingly become a tradition for me I have been absolutely gorging myself on movies. Watching between two and four throughout this holiday season. I guess that it makes sense considering the massive amount of free time on my hands and my general love of movies. I’ve been catching up on a lot of stuff I have missed as well re-watching some old favorites. Here’s a few I have been watching lately and mini-reviews of them along with my Netflix rating.
(500) Days of Summer: I find that it is extremely easy to write about things you do not like and extremely hard to write about the things you do like. This one definitely falls into the latter category. This movie was basically made for me. It’s really good and the emotionals are real, but it’s light enough that I could watch it over and over. Great soundtrack and a lot of really creative film stuff that I really enjoyed. The best way I can describe how much I like this movie is the ongoing debate I am having with myself trying to figure out if I would look good dressed like the lead character in this movie (pictured) and if I should start dressing like him. I could pull that off, right? Ummm, yeah. That good. ***** read more »

I have no idea why, but I have been obsessed with Sylvester Stallone for the past month or so. I have been watching all of his movies and reading a lot about the guy lately. In fact, I think he might be my new hero. I love the fact that he WROTE most of the Rocky movies, Cobra, Over the Top, Cliffhanger and other movies. I love the fact that there is a movie coming out called The Expendables that in 1987 would have been the highest grossing movie of all time. He’s just a cool guy and the more I learn about him, the more I like him.
For instance, he thought the movie First Blood was so bad he tried to buy back the movie from the studio so that he could destroy the print. Do you have any idea how expensive that would have been? He ended up going into the edit bay and helping to re-cut the movie into the classic is today. That’s just insane to me. Anyways, here’s what I’ve watched of his lately.
- First Blood
- Rocky
- Rocky II
- Rocky III
- Rocky IV (at least four times)
- Rocky Balboa
- Cobra
- Tango & Cash
- Cop Land (really great movie)
Netflix has Cliffhanger and something called Eye See You that I have never heard of available online that I’ll be watching soon and I also have the new Rambo movie on the way. Basically, I’m obsessed. read more »
