watch 50 movies in 2009

Very cute movie from the 80’s.

So now i have completed this goal – however i shall keep this goal open till newyears eve, just to see how many movies i do watch.

What a beautiful movie.
I’ve been meaning to watch more classics and i am so glad i watched this one.
Beautiful :)

Watch it people!
I hate to think that my children will never seen such classics like this, as so many good ones are forgotten.

Cute movie :)

Recommend it to anyone who likes romantic comedies!

2 more movies to go!

This film was a silent movie released back in 1929.
I wanted to watch some classics, and i love vampire movies so i thought i would give this one a go.

Sadly it really isn’t my sort of movie.

I saw this movie after the sixth one – a bit backwards lol.

The fifth one is the best i think out of all 6. It tells you the story pretty much fully.

:)

I didn’t catch the title but I watched a documentary about Neanderthals.

I knew this movie would be horrible. The others were too but as i watched the previous saw titles i felt the need to watch this also.
It always shocked me that writers can produce something so disturbing.

Grim.

So excited to have nearly finished this goal!

48. Ice Age – What a great, simple movie, with beautifully rendered glacial vistas, some realism, elegance, a swelling but not hyper-literal musical score.. and it was dotted with great throwbacks to the goofy Warner Brothers cartoons with Wile E. Coyote chasing after the unattainable and taking great plunges over cliffs and leaving coyote-shaped holes in the rockface. Yeah. I enjoyed it. I wept a little. It had good balance.

49. Ice Age 2 – NOOOOOOO!!! This was too much. Too many subplots. Too many ridiculous near-disasters. Is there really a cliff, a waterfall, a volcano, a cliff, a falling ice shelf, a melting ice sheet… at EVERY frickin’ turn?? Way too many ridiculous invented conflicts underscored by popcorn disaster music. Not enough death or realism. And too many new and obnoxious characters. Boooo.

50. Ice Age 3 – Very low marks for “going there” and including dinosaurs in the same era as the mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and humans. Reasonable marks for articulating the surprise and incredulity of the mammals upon encountering aforementioned dinos (“I thought they were extinct!”), and for creating a parallel (but thermo-dynamically ridiculous) world for this to occur. Happy face for being slightly more focused than Ice Age 2, and for taking the poor Pleistocenic squirrel to even greater heights before ultimately dropping him.

This film for me was very dissapointing.
Robin Williams has made me laugh so much in the past and he just failed to be funny in this one.

Some funny bits though and always worth a watch if ever on TV.
