Attempting to watch as many movies as I can in 50 days

I see that Stephen King USED to be a good writer. Shawshank was actually fairly faithful, and I know Kubrik doctored the heck out of The Shining, but a great deal of the same themes were there. Cujo, Salem's Lot, Carrie and Green Mile were all great books, but recently he's turned to writing pop fiction

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Enjoyed it more the second time. A very very sweet and bellievable comedy, no real flaws stand out, perfect for what it is.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I forgot how much I enjoyed this movie. Pretty good all around, actually. It was a nice blend of believability and outright silliness with lovable characters and a geunine sense of humour.

Monsters VS Aliens
It's a kids movie. I think animation-wise Dreamworks is better than Pixar now, they just have much worse art direction.

City of Angels
I didn't like it as much as the original black and white movie (Wings of Desire I think), but Nicholoas Cage again did a great job. I felt manipulated towards the end though, and I wish Cassio (Cassion?) had played a larger role.

Brazil
Another visually great movie from Terry Gilliam. It felt a tad long, but it was definately impressive - the acting wasn't amazing (although it was all solid), it was mainly the innovation of the movie that most stood out.

Drugstore Cowboy
Surprised I haven't seen more drug movies. I liked how bleak the setting was, and in retrospect I don't think it could have worked anywhere besides Portland. The story felt very believable, and the characters were all great, a nice surprise.

The American President
I miss the west wing

True Romance
Tarintino's first movie, but his clever and believable writing still shines through. Characters that you can love and hate at the same time, a great little story and I'm surprised I hadn't already seen it.

Slither
The moments that were meant to be funny weren't and the scary bits weren't scary either. I don't know what to say, I didn't really dislike it or anything, it's just that every now and then it took itself a little too seriously, then the very next moment you had an obese woman eating a possum. Meh.

The Seventh Seal
Wow, what an amazing film. A very dark, philosophical movie with a few genuinely warm moments. The acting was also absolutely amazing, a masterpiece by Ignar Berman.

You think that after watching Monsters vs Aliens? Are you nuts? The film was all right but the animation was shoddy as hell.

The building blowing up and a lot of Bob looked really great. I mean as in motion and all
