What was the deal with 1997? Multiple movies about giant killer volcanoes? Anyhow, there were only a few movies I saw on IMDb that I have not seen that seemed like ones I should try to catch: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Princess Mononoke and Donnie Brasco. Whether that was because I saw more good movies, fewer good movies came out … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1997
1996 was my first full year on the East Coast. I’m curious as to whether the number of movies I saw dipped dramatically as I was working long, long hours that year. Movies that I did not see from that year: A Time to Kill; Scream; Beavis and Butt-Head Do America; Romeo + Juliet; Shine; The Truth About Cats & Dogs; he Long Kiss Goodnight; Black Sheep; The Island of Dr. Moreau; Kingpin; The Frighteners; Secrets … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1996
1995 marks the beginning of the second half of my review of my favorite movies from the Nineties. Picking a top ten from each year is an interesting (to me) challenge — I do not look forward to trying to distill a top ten list for the decade. But onward! As usual there are a bunch of decent to probably great movies from 1995 that … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1995
One of a series of posts, continually updated, where I write about [media] I love, in this case being movies from 1994. Not necessarily movies I saw in 1994, but ones released that year regardless of when I got around to watching them. Most of these I actually saw in the theaters back in 1994 so it has been many years ago and I’m relying … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: of 1994
My oldest daughter is mad at me. She is having trouble with her homework and is asking for help but apparently I’m not helping in the “correct” way which is some mysterious approach she is not really willing to explain to me. So instead I am working on trying to figure out my favorite movies from 1993. Probably better for my daughter’s homework and for … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1993
I posted my picks for 1990 and 1991 yesterday, I take on 1992 today. As with the other years, it’s both embarrassing and pretty exciting to see that there are a number of good movies from 1992 I should make an effort to see. One of them, Glengarry Glen Ross, was tweeted at me Monday as a pick for 1991. IMDb has it in 1992, so … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1992
After spending way too much time looking back at 1990 and coming up with a top ten list I wasn’t totally sure about, I’m curious as to what 1991 has in store. I’m not even sure what I remember as being out that year. Ooh! This is the year that Vanilla Ice made his screen debut in Cool as Ice. Well that is an auspicious sign … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1991
I love lists. I love pop culture too. The longer you live the more interesting questions like “what’s the best movie you ever saw?” or “what’s your favorite book?” become. Especially if you leave those questions unexamined which in the press of being an adult sometimes slides down the priority list. But I am a glutton for punishment and feeling the need to scratch some … Continue reading My Favorite: Movies: 1990
Thanks Warren Ellis for reminding me of my second favorite nerdcore rapper. History-nerdcore? The one I had seen earlier was Fighting Trousers which is what I imagine every British rapper dis song would be like. I could only find three authentic Professor Elemental songs (although he did do a series for MacHeist too) — clearly not enough! 1. Fighting Trousers – still my favorite. 2. … Continue reading Professor Elemental
