Movies on The List
I should be writing these down as I see them, rather than waiting and trying to remember. We watched a lot of movies lately it seems, though I guess I haven't updated about the movies in a month. This brings my total to 17 movies that I've watched, that I had not seen previously (with a goal of 101).
My Neighbour Totoro (cute one by Hayao Miyazaki, kind of felt like it had no plot but it was still really cute)
The Forbidden Kingdom (too much like Karate Kid for me, with the cheesy 'train useless boy to be fighter' theme... the main character kind of annoyed me, but the action scenes were up to expectations... as in.. awesome, because it was Jet Li and Jackie Chan! HELLO)
Hollywoodland (more boring than I'd hoped. I still liked my Adrien Brody, but the movie... 'meh' I think...)
American Gangster (honestly, I really liked this one. I like mob/cop/gangster movies anyways, but still this one was pretty good. We watched the extended version even, and it didn't drag, so that's a plus)
Bee Movie (cute... not spectacular cute, but still somewhat amusing.. we rented it, I probably won't bother buying it.. other than the Shrek movies, the Dreamworks animations always leave a little something missing for me... I'm hoping Kung Fu Panda is awesome at least)
Enchanted (freaken CUTE AS HELL. This movie was awesome. We rented, and I want to buy it.. there in lies the difference between this and Bee Movie in my opinion)
I think that's it. Chris helped me remember which ones we saw.. lol So I've updated the 101 in 1001 list. I haven't accomplished as much as I'd like, but I've also done things I hadn't expected. Like try a new recipe. I've been meaning to post the one we made (with pictures), but I keep forgetting. It was soooo awesome though. Anyways, my counter tells me I have 909 days left. Better get cracking.
