It’s been quite a while since I’ve watched Kevin Smith’s second film, so who knows if it holds up at all, but it was certainly a laugh riot back when I was in college. While the critics savaged the film, the tale of two slackers who spend the day at the mall trying to win back their girlfriends, which introduced Jason Lee to the Askewniverse, had many laugh out loud moments.
The 131 movies I saw last year was good (bad?) enough for 4th all time, behind only 2000, 2008, and 2001.
Now, continuing Tuesday’s look at the first batch of 50 movies that I saw last year, here are movies 51-100.
The Thirst (2006)
A dying girl becomes a vampire to stay alive.
The Good Life (2007)
A kid who doesn’t fit in meets a girl who encourages him to look beyond the town’s borders.
Thor (2011)
The Norse thunder god falls from grace and recovers quickly to save Asgard.
The American (2010)
George Clooney stars as a former hitman trying to go straight.
Due Date (2010)
Robert Downey Jr goes through his own Planes, Trains, and Automobiles moments while trying to get home for the birth of his child.
Valentine’s Day (2010)
A group of vignettes celebrating the day that celebrates love.
MacGruber (2010)
The latest one-note SNL sketch to get strectched out to feature length.
A likely part of the reason I only made it through 8 books last year was the 119 movies I saw, making it the 5th most prolific year of my life.
Amy Adams, Mila Kunis, and Nicolas Cage each starred in 4 films I saw, tying for the yearly lead. Bruce Willis starred in 2, giving him the all time lead with 27.
For fun, here’s a quick review of the films and what recollection, if any, I have of them. They are listed in the order I saw them.
