I tally 27 movies screened/watched/rated this year (down from 36 last year) and to be honest it will continue to decline as we expect to be a full digital theatre by the end of next summer so there will be fewer and fewer oppertunities or needs to screen films at 2 in the morning.  (That and "I don't watch movies")

Horrible Mention

Twilight-Eclipse  -Negative Eleventy Billion

Somebody please take Stephanie Meyer and Robert Pattenson out behind the shed and put'em down Old Yeller style.

Bottom 3
#3. Resident Evil-Afterlife 4/10

I haven't seen any in the series so this one was quite ridiculous and I'm just not a fan of movies based off of games. Hell I'm not even a fan of games.  This movie was over the top ridiculous and not in a cool Pirahna 3D kind of way either.

#2. Repo Men- 4/10

Renting people organs and then repossessing them if they can't make the payments? Original Concept I suppose but aside from a couple of cool kills it was just all over the place.  The swerve at the end was interesting but almost a year later I can't remember it being mindblowing or anything.

#1. The Last Airbender- 2/10

Was this movie supposed to be serious? I was laughing at all the cheezy facial expressions as the different elements of the earth were stirred up to use as weapons. (When we were in the Gulf War did we use butter as weapons?) Terrible worst movie I screened all year.

Enough of the bad on to the good...

Honorable Mention-

Pirahna 3D 8/10 Hillarious over the top movie that did just what I hoped it would do.  While the 3D wasn't really necessary, this Spring Break Slaughter was just what the projectionist ordered.

The Black Swan 8.5/10

Aronofsky's first film since he did the Wrestler doesn't disappoint.  You'll never look at Ballet the same again.

The Girl Who played with Fire 8.5/10

The second movie based on the Swedish book series by Steig Larson.  Lisbeth Salander is a great character that merged well from story to on screen. Subtitled yes, but worth looking into.  Make sure you begin with the first movie though or you'll be confused.

Top 3
#3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 9/10

Ah yes what I was just talking about.  The first movie was just slightly better than the second.  I've also read the trilogy so that may also influence my rating here.  I suggest checking both the book and movie out.

#2. Shutter Island 9/10

Another one that I remember the trailer for a holiday release just for it to get pushed back to February so I read the book as well as I couldn't wait for it to come out.  Amazing performance by Dicaprio and company.  Well done.

#1.  Inception 9.5/10

Great year for Dicaprio as Inception is one of those movies where you have to pay attention the entire time and it actually makes you think what the hell is going on in the juggle of Dreams and Reality throughout. What's the cliche comment here? ah yes a real MindF*ck of a movie.  So if your idea of a great movie is sitting drugged out through a Seth Rogen comedy where you zone out and drool on your shirt sleeve for 2 hours while texting your BFF then this movie wouldn't be for you but then again none of these movies I've mentioned would be. 

Good Night.

Bowling Scores 12/7/10

223/258/248 729 Series. Highest series I have ever bowled on league and 2nd highest series ever. I beat out high league series by 7 pins. Games 2 and 3 were no tap 300's. We took all games and total pins on the night. We remain in 1st place for the 2nd third of the season with a record of 32-10 with 4 weeks remaining.

 

I stand corrected. On 9/6/05 I threw a 753 series on league. So this past Tuesday was my 4th time cracking 700 and third highest ever.

1. 753
2. 737 (non-league)
3. 729
...4. 700

The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's nest

While the first half of The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest can get slow at times the final half and especially final few chapters bring this series to a perfect ending.  The build up to Lisbeth Salander's trial was ve ry good and I absolutley loved the courtroom drilling of  Peter Teleborian by Salander's Defense Attourney, Annika Giannini.  If you have read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo then do you self a favor:  Man up and finish the series because The Girl Who Played With Fire (best of the 3 IMO) and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest will not disappoint.  Oh and please read the books before you see the movies.  Thanks.

Wrestlemania XXVI Thoughts

I didn't think musically it could get any worse than Kid Rock last year, boy was I wrong.

America the Beautiful was sung horribly by some top notch popular jobber. Sounded like a dying cat to me.

As far as my picks go, went 8-2 on the night. Not bad.

Thankfully the booking team came to their senses and had HBK/Taker go on last

HHH/Sheamus was better than I expected.

The Money in the Bank was good but absolutely wrong person to have win. Maybe they will finally have the winner lose when they cash in their title shot. It would be a good year to do it all with the Money in the Bank PPV coming up in a few months. Kofi's stilt spot made up for him "pulling a Benjamin" on the ladder walk earlier on. SSP was also solid by Bourne

Punk/Rey was very well done

I was disappointed in the Hart/Vince match, then again with it being watered down with the no blood policy I'm obviously not going to be witnessing any brutal gems like previous Vince PPV brawls.

The Slim Jim/Santino/Jillian/Mae/Gene/Melina segment was gold

Women's match was a good filler nothing more. I did like the "Bullfrog Splash" commenary from Striker

Cena/Dave was ok

HBK/Taker was really good, very well might be better than last year. I've only watched last year's match once and I remember it starting out a lot slower. "In 3 weeks my kids are gonna be sick of me" quote by Michaels pretty much ensures him of a couple more appearances before he goes away for good* While predicting the announce table spot thinking it would be an elbow, marked out for the moonsault hardcore.

*aka 12-18 months

Early reviews are calling this the best Wrestlemania ever. I disagree but this one is up there in the top 5. There wasn't a match on the card that stunk up the joint.

Bowling Scores 2/16/10
