(86) H.H. Holmes: America's first Serial Killer (2003)

It's not a secret that I am a Dexter fan. Don't know about Dexter? It's a Showtime television series and it's pretty dang good. Watch it. However, Dexter didn't influence my wanting to watch this. My curiosity with Killer's did. This guy. He was brilliant. He got sloppy in the end which is how they caught him, but amazing brilliant at the beginning. His house of Horrors mimicked something out of a horror film. He must have inspired thousands of books, movie, shows and so on and so forth. His story is amazing, he was a highly regarded individual and over time lost favor in the eyes of his town. Almost as if the town knew something creepy was about him, and they decided to ignore it. This documentary was alright. It wasn't Amazing film by any standards or methods. Straight forward and boring. Which is what I can't stand with Documentaries. Here is a story worthy of excitement and the presenter is so formal and Country Club snobbish you want to vomit and hit stop, but the information he finds so grueling to tell you is gripping and keeps you at the end of your seat. He is one of the most notorious killers. The documentary is dry. How can that happen. Seriously How? Borowski I guess is at fault. I mean look at the cover. It's drab, gray and boring. You couldn't find a better photo of H.H. Holmes and his home. Put some actual thought into it for god sake. 2 I could have done this better with my eyes closed out of 5

(87) Swingers (1996)

So I watched this solely because of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. It won a bunch of stuff It has lots of accolades. So why not. Side story. I use a quick Google image search to find my movie posters. I had Google Image up. Just went ahead and typed in swingers and hit search the images I saw were not the ones I was aiming for. I quickly yelled and typed 'the movie' Moral of that story. If you want to look for this movie later. Type in Jon Favreau afterwards. Not a pleasant experience. The movie was opposite of that it was a pleasant experience. Favreau and Vaughn are obviously not the best actors in this and are stretching out there wits trying to make it work. The movie however was a solid and stellar script. Fantastic scenes well played out, a bit too 1996 It could be viewed now as a period piece. Good references great storytelling. a solid 3.9 out of 5. Why not a 4. My experience with the movie poster dramatized me and I can't get over the cheesy one liners and the skirt calls.

(88) Reservoir Dogs (1992)

WHAT? I can hear you all screaming that I have taken this long in my life to see this film. I know It's Tarantino. I am aware that I really like his movies. Yes it took me forever to see it. Why? well. I dunno. Moving on. Typical Tarantino. Nothing shy of brilliant. I saw the surprise toward the end coming. when Tim Roth Spoilers****** set up and shot. I saw that coming. It was a fun energetic film with laughs and blood. Isn't that Tarantino's deal though. Mr. Blonde was amazing. Did you catch his name Vic Vega I wonder if he is related. the running gag on Mr. Pink was fun. A solid film. If you like Tarantino you will like this. Close to perfection. Tarantino normally is. 4.6 out of 5. I want Tarantino to do a Deadpool movie.

(89) The Hobbit (2012)

I hate America. I read reviews on this. Some people complained about the story being "too accurate to the book" " It has too much story" " Spent too much time in the beginning in the hobbit hole singing and naming the characters" ARE YOU KIDDING ME. It's the Hobbit one of the greatest stories ever told. It needs to be a long story and told in a epic manner. Show it showed a lot of the country side. It was beautifully rendered and gorgeous country side. Put down your phones, shut your mouths and enjoy what was put in front of you. If you skipped this movie because someone told you it was boring or too long. Think to yourself. Would you really want The Epic of The Hobbit any other way. It was the beginning of the Lord of the Rings. It's meant to be breathy and long. Draw it out I say. Give me all the Shire I can handle. Make it accurate to the book. The book is a legend in its own right. I loved it. My wife caught it in theaters 3 times. Not only that I dare you not to laugh at Gollum and the Riddles. Well done. Bring on the next one.  5 out of 5.

(90) Polar Express (2004)

It's Christmas time by this point. I'm a little nervous I have to get in ten movies buy presents. However, what's Christmas without a classic. So which Classic have I not seen. Tom Hanks Masterpiece Polar Express. I admit I caught the cut TV version which I am sure missed fantastic moments that I more than likely should have seen. Christmas at the beach is different. I spent the days cutting trees for Home Depot and the nights stressing over money because of our recent move. Moving is expensive. This movie was cheerful. Fun. Predictable. Long. Terrible Animation. good for 2004 though. Plus, it did have a wink. Just a wink. Of Christmas magic. Give it a solid 3.6 out of 5.
