60. Hot Rod



60. Hot Rod (2007) - 03/28/09 - Showtime:

I'm trying REALLY hard to like Andy Samberg. REALLY HARD. Something about this guy just doesn't settle with me. He reminds me of countless D-Bag shaggy haired frat boys? I can't put my finger on it. Needless to say the movie is watchable for a few chuckles. The supporting cast really carries the movie ( Danny McBride as usual...Bill Hader...Will Arnett). If you're bored on a rainy day and this one is on tv give it a watch. When it's done go about your regular every day lives because you'll probably never reference this movie again. 2/5

59. Billy Madison



59. Bill Madison (1995) - 03/21/09 - Encore:
If peeing in your pants is cool...consider me Miles Davis. 4/5

58. Remember the Titans



58. Remember the Titans (2000) - 03/21/09 - Encore:
How can I not stop my TV dial on what i consider to be one of the best Football movies of all time? It has everything you'd ever want from a ports movie. 4/5

57. I Love You, Man



57. I Love You, Man (2009) - 03/21/09 - Theater:
Being a huge fan of Judd Apatow and all the movies his crew have made, this one is right there at the top. As good as Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad, Freaks and Geeks, and Undeclared. Segel and Rudd are fucking GREAT together on screen and this movie is a lot smarter than you'd think. Definitely needs a repeat viewing because I felt that I missed some jokes. people were laughing so hard that you missed half the movie. Proof in point, my wife snorted not once...but TWICE during the movie. TOTES MAGOTES! 4/5

56. Flash Of Genius



56. Flash of Genius (2008) - 03/15/09 - DVD:
As good a movie about the inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper can be. Nice little underdog story with some court room drama sprinkled in for good measure. 3/5

55. Watchmen



55. Watchmen (2009) - 03/08/09 - Theater:
Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Between working, moving, and life I haven't had as much time to watch movies as I'd like. Hopefully things will slow down and I can get back to at least 3 movies a week. Anyway, I've had some time to digest this one. From what I gather there are two groups of people when it comes to this film. Those who read the book and really enjoyed the movie and those who didn't read the book and had no fucking clue what was going on. I had always heard of this graphic novel but didn't read it until about 2 years ago. Being a HUGE fan of the book I was really blown away with this one. Sure, it takes some liberties story-wise, but it's understandable. The book is just so heady that it would never appeal to MAINSTREAM AMERICA (or Joe The Movie Goer as I like to call them). For the most part Snyder stays VERY faithful to the novel and thank God for that. I can't really see anyone else making this the way he did. Only thing that could of made it better was a different Silk Spectre, Sally Jupiter, and a few other nit picky things that i wont spoil now. It's a shame that people still can't sit through a movie that is over 2 hrs long and that saddens me. Wish this could of been more of a hit so we can get comic movies of this caliber in the future. On the plus side, hopefully it'll be on Blu-Ray sooner than anticipated. i can;t wait for the 4 hr Directors cut with the Black Freighter and Under the Hood. I plan on seeing this again in the very near future so i will have more on it then. 4.5/5

54. My Name Is Bruce



54. My Name Is Bruce (2008) - 03/01/09 - Blu-Ray:
Not much to say on this one. A must watch if you're a huge BC fan and know all of his movies. I've only seen the main ones ( Evil Dead, Army of Darkness) so I felt I missed some jokes. The movie is really cheesy and campy but again, which BC movie isn't? 2/5
