Midpoint


We're just a little over halfway through 2014, and I've seen 26 of the year's movies (so far). I thought that now would be a good time to rank those movies! Of course, this is just my opinion, one of many. But if you haven't seen some of the films in, say, the top ten, then try and watch them if/when you can.

Ok, here we go….


1. The Grand Budapest Hotel
2. The Lunchbox
3. Belle
4. The Fault in Our Stars
5. Chef
6. Locke
7. Non-Stop
8. Muppets Most Wanted
9. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
10. Neighbors
11. Life Itself
12. X-Men: Days of Future Past
13. 22 Jump Street
14. Begin Again
15. Ida
16. The Monuments Men
17. The LEGO Movie
18. Edge of Tomorrow
19. Enemy
20. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
21. Godzilla
22. That Awkward Moment
23. Jersey Boys
24. Noah
25. Palo Alto
26. Transformers: Age of Extinction


And, there you have it. Honestly, I really only dislike the last three movies, so there's something to like about the first 23 (in my humble opinion). Hope you have a chance to watch some of these films.

By the way… 40% of the movies that are in my top ten I was able to see at the C-U Art Theatre Co-op. If you're not watching films there already, then you're really missing out!

Orby-D

Twenty-four-years ago today, we lost one of the greatest singers of the rock & roll era. While Roy Orbison will be forever known in the pantheon of rock/pop legends, for me he will always be the voice that I melded with during turbulent high school years, and that I love to this day. Roy Orbison wrote and (more importantly) sang about love. Mostly, it was tragic love, not the happy-go-lucky love that so many of his contemporaries sang about. No one could do depressive songs better than Mr. Orbison. This is probably why I identified with his music so much. I mean, we all have had our down times but, during high school, I'd cornered the market.

Watching The Hours

A Twitter friend named Paula has asked for folks to submit ideas for a blog-a-thon about what we think will be the classic films of the future. In other words, what relatively recent movies (namely, from the 21st century), do we think will be considered classics in the decades to come, possibly airing on such venerable stations as Turner Classic Movies ? While a number of films come to mind for such a category, one in particular stood out from the rest, and thus is my entry for Paula's blog-a-thon.

The Year in Music

There are times in your life when you will read or watch something, stop for a moment, and think to yourself: "This is truth. This is gospel, right here." For some, it may have been the first time you read the Bible, the Tanakh, or the Koran. For others, it could have been when you read self-help books such as The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People , or Chicken Soup for the Soul . Still, for others, it's going to be this blog post right here. The truth is, dear reader, that 1993 was the best year for music. Full-stop. Some of you already know this. For others, it will be a revelation. Please, allow me to explain. Following are some of the albums released in 1993, with a bit of commentary from yours truly. During or after reading this, I think you'll agree that there's really no question anymore that 1993 was king. Ok, here we go.
