2010 Film Challenge

This year I have decided to “challenge” myself to watch all those films I have put on the back burner. You know those films you have always wanted to (or should have) seen by now and you haven’t. May it be timing, availability or what have you. From the classics, to general movies I just still haven’t checked out and have always wanted to. Last year I was able to watch several films with my good friend Riikka and so many became instant favorites I don’t want to put certain titles off any longer! I’m sure I’ve forgotten some, or will add to this list naturally, but I made the decision to try to make an effort to see most – if not all – of the following films. This wouldn’t be such a difficult task given I didn’t watch anything else, but I’m the kind of person that tends to rewatch my favorite films on a regular basis, not to mention the crap Hollywood throws at us left and right, all whilst watching about a thousand shows. I know, I should probably distance myself from entertainment a bit but I am deciding to dive in head first!

This is similar to the “100 Films” thing that went around, but the difference is I’ve actually chosen the titles prior to beginning rather than just jotting down when I watch/re-watch a movie

The following list are films I’ve never seen in completion, about 80% I’ve never watched anything of and others I’ve either started and never finished or I was never able to find to rent.

So here are the 96 Films I must (attempt) see in 2010!

We All Need A Little Glee

“So that’s what death tastes like.”
Marcus Wright, Terminator Salvation

Now to take my mind off of the current drama of the last post I will take my mind of it with a couple of comments on Terminator Salvation and Fox’s new series Glee. Potential spoilers, but I won’t go into it to severely.

A few days ago I watched the pilot for Glee. And I seriously LOVED the show! It was so much fun and really funny! It’s not really something I thought I would love, but it was fun and quirky. Lots of fun characters, and some seriously talented people with tons of potential! I hope the show will continue to impress me later this fall.

So this past Wednesday I went and saw Terminator Salvation at midnight. I have to say I fucking loved it! I know there are a lot of people out there who really hated it, but I suppose I always kept a cool look and expected just “another good Terminator movie” and with that being said it was just that. I know a lot of people expected a lot, how on earth why is the question? McG was helming this people! I know he promised a lot, but seriously you shouldn’t have expected anything more.

Passionate Is Another Word For Crazy

“I’m THAT guy!” – Dude
“Can we end this soon ? … thanks!” – Chris Pine

I’m actually really itching to see Star Trek again. I saw it a few weeks ago and really loved it so now I’m just waiting for the right time to go back. Upon browsing for clips of a certain someone from the movie I discovered this little gem. This is too hilarious! I wonder if this is how insane I look when I gush about my favorite fandoms… we’ll crazy is just another word for passionate.
