75. Raiders of the Lost Ark



75. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - 05/01/09 - Theater:

Thanks to the wonderful people at the Fairfax Beverly Theaters, I was able to finally see one of my all time favorite movies on the big screen. I could go on and on about how magically amazing this film is but that would just make me sound like a bigger nerd and I have 5 more posts to get to. If you've never seen this, shame on you. If you live in the L.A. area and have never seen it on the big screen keep an eye out. It gets at least one screening a year and is definitely worth the experience. 789179837297/5

74. Choke



74. Choke (2008) - 04/30/09 - DVD:

I am a big fan of the book. It's actually one of the few novels I've ever read more than once. That says a lot, but thanks to this sad excuse for celluloid I will never read the book again and probably toss it into the fire at my next book burning club. 1/5

73. Dan In Real Life



73. Dan In Real Life (2007) - 04/26/09 - Starz:
Originally I passed on this movie because it features that talentless hack known to mortals as Dane Cook. There aren't too many rules I try to live my life by but the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF THEM ALL IS TO AVOID DANE COOK AT ANY COST! I hate to break it to you people, but he's not funny. Not even some sort of mutated, half assed version of funny. The guy is a joke stealer and only appeals to college aged sorority girls and maybe some douchebag meatheads. On that note this movie wasn't all that terrible when Dane wasn't on the screen. Still...he's on film for more than 5 minutes and that is simply too much for any normal person to endure. Watch at your own risk. 2/5

72. Monsters vs Aliens



72. Monsters vs Aliens IMAX 3D (2009) - 04/26/09 - Theater:
Since it's been a few weeks and I haven't updated this thing....I've already forgotten what happens in this sorry excuse for a Dreamworks Animation movie. The 3D was cool and IMAX didn't hurt. If you are expecting Shrek or Ice Age or anything along those lines you won't find it here. 2/5

71. You Don't Mess With The Zohan



71. You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) - 04/25/09 - Starz:
Not Adam Sandler's best comedy but by no means is it his worse. Some really fun cameos ( Dave Matthews as a racist terrorist). 2.5/5

70. The Spirit



70. The Spirit (2008) - 04/22/09 - Blu-Ray:

Not even Eva Mendes' amazing ass could of saved this awful piece of shit. Do yourself a favor and just pass on this one. Hopefully frank Miller will redeem himself with Sin City 2. 1/5

69. Milk



69. Milk (2008) - 04/21/09 - Blu-Ray:

Sean Penn is a great actor and this movie proves it. 4/5
