Drive for 66: Months 1 and 2
In Introduction | By Rob | On March 1 2011 11:46 AM
Last year, I embarked on a quest to watch 75 movies over the course of the year which I had previously never seen. Though I far surpassed that goal, I lowered my expectations for 2011 to seeing 66 films of ...
Quest For 75 Results and Superlatives
A year ago, I challenged myself to see at least 75 films in 2010 which I had never seen before, and as you will see, I was quite successful in that endeavor. As I like lists and ranking things, I'd ...
Quest for 75: The Karate Kid (2010) (93 of 75)
The first time I heard about this movie, I shook my head and had very little interest in it. I love the original Karate Kid films (the first two, anyway), and I didn't think it needed a remake. After seeing ...
Quest for 75: Die Hard (92 of 75)
Just as with Predator, I had seen parts of Die Hard prior to 2010, but I had never seen it from start to finish in its entirety. I knew what to expect from it, but I wanted to fill in ...
Quest for 75: LEON The Professional (91 of 75)
For years, I had always heard that Natalie Portman did a great job in a movie called Leon (a.k.a. "The Professional"). Despite the fact that it sounded interesting, this was another movie that it took me a while to get ...
Quest for 75: M*A*S*H (90 of 75)
I never did get into the television version of M*A*S*H. I was probably too young to really appreciate the characters, but having seen the movie, I'm going to be looking for the DVDs of season 1. If the show's half ...
Quest for 75: Martian Child (89 of 75)
For over a decade, I've been a fan of John Cusack's work, and aside from 1408, I've seen most of his work created over that span. I usually don't even pay too much attention to the plots of his films, ...
Quest for 75: Scott Pilgrim vs The World (88 of 75)
In Comic Books | By Rob | On December 28 2010 09:35 PM
Scott Pilgrim vs The World is one of the most original movies I've ever seen. Although it's very much still a movie with good plot exposition and a natural feel to it, Scott Pilgrim at times feels very much like ...
Quest for 75: Grown Ups (87 of 75)
As my wife and parents and friends will attest to, I'm still a kid at heart. On trips to any of the superstores, I'll look at the action figures, occasionally buying one. I enjoy arts and crafts; when ...
Quest for 75: The Social Network (86 of 75)
Sure I use Facebook almost every day, but it was Aaron Sorkin's involvement which got me interested in seeing The Social Network. I didn't inherently care about how Facebook came about any more than I care about the backstory behind ...
