Djake's got a lot of movies. A lot of movies I've never seen, that I want to see. He's got really good taste, so I let him recommend movies to me every so often. He told me to watch The Proposition (2005), an Australian western, and let me borrow it way back at the beginning of December. Here's a conversation with Djake I had about the film a week before Christmas: Djake: Hey, you watch The Proposition yet? Deuce: Well, I started it, but I'm only about 30 minutes into it. Djake: Argh! You gotta Read more [...]

Besides cinematicattic.com, of course, flickchart.com is my favorite website. It combines two of some of my favorite things: movies and statistics. I use flickchart often to help me choose movies I should watch, and it's highest recommended movie for me up until Tuesday was The Night of the Hunter. I've been wanting to watch it for some time now since I kept seeing it on many top movie lists, including The Internet Movie Database's Top 250. So, luckily, Amazon Prime had it available for me to watch. Read more [...]

Sometimes I like to have some outside force choose my movie. If you go to instantwatcher.com, you can have a random Netflix streaming movie chosen for you. I almost chose another one, not sure if I would be in the mood for a romantic comedy, but I liked that it took place in the 50s and Albert Einstein was played by Walter Matthau. Well, I'm glad I did choose it, because I liked it, for the most part, at least... Sam mentioned she had seen it at some point, and said it was "cute". She was right. Read more [...]

Remember your New Year's? It was almost three weeks, ago, I know. I had meant to watch this back then, but... So, Netflix angers me from time to time. It usually happens when I plan out movie schedules for myself. I do this so I'm never searching for something when I'm ready to watch. Yeah, I'm so awesome. Anyhoo, I have been planning to watch New Year's Evil ever since I saw it was available on Netflix streaming back in October. I knew it would take me a few days to watch (that's just how Read more [...]

I bought Sam Downtown Abbey on the Blu-Rays for Christmas. We just finished season one. I liked it, a lot. The thing that drew me to Downtown Abbey was the setting and time period. I kinda have a thing for mansions, and I kinda have a thing for early 20th century history. During the first episode, however, I figured that this show offers more than that. It drew me in like reruns of 90210 did to me when I was in high school. There's about 16 characters and they all have something interesting Read more [...]

The Iron Giant is a great movie, but I noticed it was a familiar plot. There are two other movies that pretty much are identical to it that would make a great triple feature. I don't think this is some awesome original idea, but thought it would be fun to mention. Let me know if you try it. Also, if you think of any other movies that fit the same plot line, mention them. I'm sure these aren't the only three... Read more [...]
