Fifteen Films I Have Never Seen


I love movies but I can’t seem to watch any classic film because I get so hyped for that new release.  So, taking a look at my Blu-ray collection, I noticed that I have a ton of classic films that I have yet to see.  Did you know I never completed the Star Wars films, the first trilogy because I always thought the films were boring.  I was a young dousche back then so sue me.  So for an experiment to help boost my knowledge of classic film trivia, I have decided to watch and review fifteen classic films before the end of the year.  Theses films can be found on Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, DVD and/or Blu-ray so they shouldn’t be too hard for me find.

This Needs To Be Addressed


Anybody who knows me personally knows I live at the movies.  I receive solace in spending my entire day at the movies, hopping from one film to another, buying hotdogs, sipping from a giant jug of soda, and spending time with the ones I love.  Ever since I was a young boy in Miramar, Florida, my mother would take me to the local Sheridan AMC where we would sit to watch the matinee show and stay well into the midnight screening of the latest release.  It was a family affair that I will never forget and will give the joy of passing that to my children.  However, the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado might change the minds of many people.  If you don’t know, a man, whose name I feel isn’t as important as the names of those deceased, opened fire in a crowded midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises killing twelve in the process.  The shooter referred to himself as The Joker, a well know and popular villain in the Batman mythos.  But many people have become concerned about the movies over the past weekend and rightfully so.  But what exactly does this mean for the director of TDKR, Christopher Nolan and the superhero genre in general?
