it happened.
My leg got caught on a bandwagon and my choices were to be dragged behind or jump on... No one wants to be dragged.
The bandwagon I speak of is Tumblr.com
I have decided to move my bloggings over there. Its simpler...really. Plus! There is a lot of interesting things..like a crap load of photography!
Anyway my tumblr is
www.501in365.tumblr.com
I hope you will follow me there. If not I believe the people that follow me here are my friends on facebook. My tumblr does a direct link post to facebook when I write a new post. So you can still be part of my adventure if you so wish!
I will miss you blogspot it was a short and sweet time we had. But like I said no one wants to get dragged.
:D love

Rain Man...definitely...definitely
Movie #29 Rain Man
An amazing movie, by far one of my top 5 favourites from the list so far!
I honestly don't even know what to say. I guess it is just so interesting to watch, to try and get into Raymond's head.
I would have to say it is a movie about love and understanding.
I'm not going to talk much about this movie because its one you need to watch to really know what's it about...or to get what you will out of it.
Again Dustin Hoffman is a hero. Wonderful actor to be able to capture the character of Raymond and his special needs.
I just don't know what else to say besides that it is an awesome movie and another one off the list...
Definitely...definitely <3

He could have Total Recall!!...shocked face!
Movie #28 Total Recall
Now, I was told by two different people that this was a good movie... And I agree. But I can almost guarantee we liked it for different reasons.
I absolutely loved all the lines in this movie! I laughed out loud a couple of times I probably shouldn't have.
A few of my favourites were:
-shoots fake wife- "Consider that a divorce"
End of the move - "I just had a terrible thought. What if this is all a dream?" "well then kiss me quick before you wake up."
Literally the last line in the movie.
I couldn't get past the cheese factor, although after thinking about it and getting ready to write this entry I noticed that the concept of the story to this movie is pretty good. My issue is that I had trouble following the meaning and psychological aspect of the film with all thwarted running, yelling, shooting and stuff blowing up.
I did like that the story was on mars, my favourite planet. In elementary school I wanted to be an astronomer because I had this crazy infatuation with the stars and planets. I even named a foster kitten after one of Mars' moons. Then I got to highschool and realized that I need to actually like and be good at science to make it as an astronomer. I still love the night sky...going to the drive-in is one of my favourite summer things because the stars are so easy to see out there.
Hmm anyway I did enjoy the movie. Oh an best quote
"its the best mind fuck yet."
:D
on we go..more movies to watch and blogs to write.

Alien...plural.
Movie #27 Aliens
I was about 30minutes in and I was already enjoying this movie way more then the first. The main reason would have to be that there are more characters and they are in a larger space. Different scenery. The first movie taking place all in one place..one ship made it boring and repetitive to me.
This movies characters have more life I guess I could say... I don't know how to say what I'm thinking here. Basically these characters are just better. Haha the story is not only focusing on Ripley (obviously she is a main character) but we are getting to know the others more. Plus the little girl is sweet.
And Ripley is surprisingly tough for the stuff she delt with in the first movie and had to deal with upon waking up in this movie. Damn she just can't trust anyone!
This movie also has some good little twist and keeps your attention if you care to know what happens to the characters.
All in all I actually enjoyed this one. Yes I am surprised. Who knows I may even watch it again! ...well not this year.

As Good As It Gets
Movie #26 As Good As It Gets
Before I start in on the movie its self I need to put out my personal opinion of Jack Nicholson. He is a wonderful actor, I enjoy his movie for the most part...but I don't enjoy him. Im not to sure as to why, maybe its his voice...
Anyway this movie is great...I think Nicholson did a good job playing obsessive-compulsive. He also played the jerk well, but of course his character changes throughout the movie...change, something that isn't easy for someone who has OCD. Its kinda the point of the movie. you may be in a routine and something so little can toss you from it an show you what could be different and how good it can be. The little thing to toss Nicholson's character from his routine life was the dog of his neighbour. Okay...the dog is adorable but I feel like it should have a tail. In the movie it just seems like its cowering the whole time. The dogs owner, Simon. He breaks my heart, he was just living life doing his thing and it gets flipped upside down. He goes through the why do bad things happen to good people kind of thing. But its not true, bad things happen because that's life. You just need a bit of faith in good and things will turn around eventually...which they do for Simon.
Overall, awesome film Helen Hunt and Jack Nicholson both won academy awards for their roles in this movie that's gotta mean something right?
Over half way to 50 movies!

Alien !
Movie # 25 Alien
WTF!
Aliens coming out of bodies, robots...WTF! Holly hell I'm damn happy I was not on that space craft!
Okay scenario : big nasty effing Alien making its way towards you..do you stand there or at least try and run like hell?
I'm gunna say I would at least try and run, but hey who has ever really been in that kinda situation. Haha
I haven't watched this movie since grade 7. A friend and I decided we were going to try and watch all the alien movies in one night. I'm pretty sure we didn't get past the first one but once you've seen it haven't you seen them all?
I will know the answer to that question after I've watched Aliens... Yes alien plural!
End of movie...props to Ridley! Saved her ass and the cat!
:D

Tootsie
Movie # 24 Tootsie
There are some actors who I always wonder if they were ever young. Dustin Hoffman is one of them...well he was younger once.
This movie was adorable, it was so cute. The perfect flick to watch on a sick day.
Hoffman does such a wonderful job. Huh I don't know what really to say besides the fact that it is one you should see. Its funny and cute with a little bit of love. Plus who does not love a good drag queen?
Haha only 477 to go!!!!

Gladiator
Movie # 23 Gladiator
This type of movie is one I don't normally watch...now I don't know why, this movie was epic! Russell Crowe not a regular favorite of mine, but he did a damn good job. I did enjoy the story the most through, it is one I may just watch again. The story is sad but about strength of heart and body.
I really enjoyed the writing. There was a few good monologues and liners...one of my faves was "What we do in life echoes in eternity."
If people believe in such things I think it gives life a bit more meaning. If you can believe that any thing you do, no matter how small actually does make a difference its awesome. Just keep that in mind, it all counts.
Ps I totally cried at the end of the movie...epic, just epic. I'm actually a bit excited to see other movies from this genre. :D

There's Something About Mary
Movie #22 There's Something About Mary
I said it with Meet The Parents. I always end up feeling bad for Ben Stiller's character. His characters just get the shit end of the stick all the time!
My feelings aside, a funny funny movie for sure. I adore Cameron Diaz, any role she is in. Well put her and Ben Stiller together your bound for a good laugh.
I've begun to notice that I have less to say about comedian movies. But really what is there to say about a movie like this besides that it was funny, I like the actors and the soundtrack. There isn't much to a comedy movie...yes the writing to make us laugh is a lot but what about the story?...hmm another question to be answered on another day.
On to GLADIATOR!

Pirates Of The Caribbean
Movie # 21 Pirates Of The Caribbean , Curse of The Black Pearl
Mmm pirates! The trilogy of these movies is amazing. Johnny Depp. That's all I have to say. Johnny Depp. I have never seen him in a better role. This movie brought the awesome-ness of pirates to a new generation.
My best friend and I went to go see the 3rd movie in theatres...for rest of The night we spoke just like pirates. Might I point out that this was in grade 11...anyway we got home and for some reason went on pirate spree. We stole her dads clothes and dressed ourselves up like pirates. It was pretty awesome.
I don't have much to say about this movie that hasn't already been said..or without going over how hot Johnny and Orlando are as pirates.
So again another movie off the list. I should start watching ones that I don't know are awesome yet...so I can watch the ones I know rock later on... :D

The Princess Bride
Movie # 20 The Princess Bride
Definitely a fun adventure of love and revenge. I love all the characters in this movie, from Andre the Giant to Billy Crystal.
My little brother joined us in watching the movie about 20minutes in. He asked so many questions it was almost a bit annoying, but that's a 3 year olds curiosity for you. He went to talk about bad guys needing time outs. I love how a he sees movies, the things he draws from them...its awesome. Also it was my step dads first time seeing the movie. He actually stayed awake the whole time, which is a saying something in Shawn's case!
In summary its another movie off the list!
P.S. I'm dreading the westerns...

another evening in whiteoaks mall
I've figured something out that for some reason I really don't question but everybody else seems to keep asking me..Who made this list of 501 "Must See" movies? I just say I don't know because honestly I have no idea who these people are that complied the list of movies. But I do have their names...its in the credits of the book. I'm just going to give you their names and the genre section they compiled. so question answered, here you go :
Ann Lloyd -> Comedy, Musical & Romance
Rob Hill -> Horror, Science Fiction & Fantasy
Ronald Bergen -> War & Western
Chris Darke -> Action, Adventure & Epic
Cara Frost-Sharratt -> Drama
Paul Frost-Sharratt -> Mystery & Thriller
So a little more background on the book here.
There are 10 genre categories holding 50 movies..plus one. They cramped a few genres together. There is the ACTION/ADVENTURE&EPIC , COMEDY , DRAMA , HORROR , MUSICAL , ROMANCE , SCIENCE FICTION & FANTASY , MYSTERY & THRILLER , WAR , WESTERN.
At first I was going to do the movies by genre, then I thought I would do it alphabetically but as it turns out I'm watching at random.

Schindler's List
I am about to movie blog out of order here. You see I watched The Breakfast Club before I watched Schindler's List but I have a million things I want to say about The Breakfast Club. So because I have already written my blog out for Schindler's List it gets to be posted first :) Alright on the the "review".
Movie #19 : Schindler's List
Wow...wow...what an amazing movie.
As I sit here writing this out I just keep closing my eyes and shaking my head. I can't focus on what I want to say...or how I want to say it..
I guess I can start with when I first learned about the Holocaust. In history class I was a total wreck the entire time. The story of it all just floors me. In school we had the opportunity to attend a screening of a movie called Paper Clips at Rainbow Cinema. It was an incredible film and I do recommend you go out and find it.
Now I obviously learned a lot from this movie considering I had never heard the whole story of Oskar Schindler. One bit of the movie really stands out as something I had never heard before. A road into the concentration camp of Majdenak was paved with broken Jewish tombstones. It is still there to this day but I sincerely hope that it is no longer walked upon.
I was pretty good for not full out crying during the whole movie, until the ending. When Schindler is leaving...Liam Neeson did an unbelievable job. I think anyone should watch this movie...id The ending is just...uh I can't even tell you..it just needs to be seen. So go watch it...
Now, I do have a little thing to say about how the movie was filmed. In black and white. I discovered that when a movie is in colour your eyes tend to wonder around the screen being attracted by all the different colours. In black and white I found myself looking directly at the eyes of the characters. Its so different...the eyes seem to have more depth, it is easier to see their sincerity, their lies, their love, their hate... They give you a deeper understanding behind a persons words whether they are good or bad.

Meet the Parents and Some Like It Hot
On friday night I knocked Meet the Parents off the list and on saturday I watched Some Like It Hot.
I'd seen Meet the Parents in the past found it funny...but I just always end up feeling bad for Ben Stiller's character.
Some Like It Hot. Okay I had never actually sat down and watched the whole movie, I always caught bits of it on tv, but the whole movie is great. Jack Lemmon , Tony Curtis and Marlyn Monroe are awesome together. I liked Lemmon and Curtis more then Monroe though. She just seemed kind of out of it... Which according to history she was, half in the bag the whole time of shooting. It is the first time I watched a whole movie starring those 3 classic film icons, I guess we can call them that now. Truly without the film stars of the past our popular actors today would suck even worse then some already do. ;)
There are a few things I loved about the movie with out a doubt. Surprise the year. 1929 I honestly have said it once and will probably say it again but there is something about that time in history that just seemed so classy. Even the Chicago mobsters did things with a certain style. The speakeasys always looked like a good time, how could they not be? In smokey, loud bar type place that is hidden, illegal booze, always on the look out for snitches and the cops. Just seems like it would have been a thrill going out any night...And who could discount the jazz music. New at the time it appealed to a group of people, those some that like it hot!

off topic
I have drawn a few conclusions over the past few days. one, I'm obviously crazy, two I'm afraid my blogs are all sounding the same and three I'm not sure how to make sure they stay unique. This is what I know, all the movies I'm watching are different, they have different aspects to them that make them awesome...My problem is that what I find awesome in one movie I'm pretty much finding awesome in any movie...except Gremlins. The music! I think I mentioned the music of movies in almost every blog. Really though, have you ever watched a movie that had no score? No music what so ever. I have. I think it was called ' 7 Seconds' or something, me and Lauren rented it, thinking it would be good . Ya it wasn't. It was like watching the movie 'Open Water'...you just want that time in your life back.
Maybe I will try and pick something different out from every movie. And I am most definitely not going to do a separate post per movie...I do have some form of a social life you know. Ha!
I don't mind tossing a few in one post, or just a little mention of what I watched and what not...
Man I should be asleep. It was without a doubt a ridiculous day at white oaks mall...bank robberies, running out of pearl paper, making crazy money in spiffs, running back and forth between blacks and Cinema1 like 10times. I could go on with the madness but surprise I have a movie to watch before I sleep, Meet the Parents borrowed from Tiffany...I can't wait until my movie collection is crazy huge like those of the people I work with and know.
Ah forgot, I watched Titanic after Moulin Rouge! and before Gremlins... Obviously I haven't written about it yet..i lost my page of notes. Lame. I'll come up with something.
stay tuned I've got a comedy, an action\adventure\epic, a drama, a scifi, a horror and a classic to watch soon all borrowed from some awesome people.
Ps I'm Soooo thankful for the people helping me out with this, lending me movies and such! Makes life just little easier. :)
Errr off to watch meet the Parents and snack on goldfish...
I love goldfish.

MOGWAI!!! Gremlins makes 14.
Movie #14 Gremlins (488)
Wow, this movie used to scare the crap out of me...now I really can't see why. Last night I did jump at least twice watching the movie. The movie was good for when it was made, the effects anyway but not the acting. I love the MOGWAI when he is cute and fury, when they become Gremlins its just not fun any more. Overall the movie is a classic and I love the little narrative at the end that warns you about the possibility of a Gremlin being in your home.
Oh and corey feldmen is super cute as a little boy!
Ps thanks to Katie and Tanya for watching it with me!
I am slowly picking up speed on my movie watching, realizing that I need to get a lot more done...the downside is that I am doing little of anything else. I think I'm going to get the portable dvd player so I can do more, but still watch my movies. Okay also I'm not to excited for the movies from the war and western genres those movies (mostly the war ones) always make me really sad...gunna havta wait till nicer weather for those ones. No february blues here!

Moulin Rouge!
Movie #12 Moulin Rouge!
Again another off beat type of musical. Yes it has music, dance, a love story but this one is presented in a whole new way. Set in a classic 1889 Paris, Bohemian life style where love is all that matters...to some.
This movie is filled with a collection of modern music that obviously was not around in the 1889's from The Beatles to Madonna. That is what I would have to say is my most liked thing about the movie, the music hands down. Kidman and McGregor do a wonderful job singing their own songs in my amateur opinion.
I guess if you enjoy music, and a slightly tragic love story then Moulin Rouge! is a movie you might just like!

Ferries Bueller's Day Off
Movie #11 Ferris Bueller's Day Off (490)
Let me start by saying that I really enjoy this movie, always have but I didn't want to watch it. I haven't sat down to watch this movie since semester one of my grade 12 year. Communication technology class, an international video contest to win $25000 in new technology for our school. We wrote, directed, shot, edited and submitted a short video spoof of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. With the support of our school and community (Achannel, RogersTv, local radio stations) we won first place. Needless to say we spent around 3 months creating this award winner and spent those 3 months listening to twist and shout, well our version of it anyway.
P.S. did you know that the parade scene (my favourite) was not created for the movie? It was an actual parade thing place in Chicago during filming. Over 10000 people are in the parade scene most of which are just random people who lived in Chicago at the time.
P.P.S. I really enjoy John Huges movies. He found a way to reach right into the core of any generations youth. My mom was a Brat Pack Fan, I was\am a fan and I can bet my younger sister and brother will eventually come to understand how great his movies are.
** Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it...**

Batman
Movie # 10 Batman (491)
This movie has three of my favourite things to have be part of a movie!
#1- Tim Burton : This man is crazy awesome. There is something about the way he directs a film, his eye just captures me. I just like his style of movies.
#2- Danny Elfman : Again another man that is crazy awesome. He has an incredible talent with composing music, I own other movies his music was a part of and they are some of my favourites for that reason alone. without music a movie has no feeling. He brings to life the silence of a film, gives those emotional, triumphant, epic moments that extra boost and drive of meaning.
#3- SUPERHEROES : Okay, memory lane trip! In grade 9&10 myself and my two closest friends went through a stage of loving superheroes. My best friend Lauren was Batman, our friend Jess was Wonderwoman and I was Superman. Basically we collected anything that held our heroes logo. I still have superman pjs, a pillow and a blanket that turns into a cape.
Batman, he is one of the cooler heroes because he really doesn't have any 'powers' besides being loaded! He is just a rich guy that wants to rid his city of the bad guys.
Okay the interesting thing I'm gathering from this movie is the way in which it was done...comparing it to the new Dark Knight movie they basically tell the same story but in 2 severely different ways. The Dark Knight is almost geared more towards and older audience then the original Batman. Also with the makeup difference between Nicholson's Joker and Ledger's Joker, Heath's joker makeup makes him seem like more of a man that has gone bat shit crazy (Haha get it, Bat shit!).
As this movie ends I have watched 10 movies and have 491 left to go. I did some calculations and figured out that I need to watch at least 40 movies a month from now on to be able to meet me goal. I might start going by genre to keep things organized, but I'm not promising anything. It is really starting to set in that I have gotten myself into a pretty big challenge...and I couldn't be more excited!

Lord of The Rings
Movie # 9 The Fellowship of the Ring (493)
This past friday night I watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy's first installment, The Fellowship of the Ring. Without a doubt an amazingly epic adventure. There are so many ways I could take this entry... I could go philosophical, or just ooo and ahh about all the special effects. I think I'm just going to toss out what's on my mind and what was on my mind when I watched the movie.
First things first I want to live in Rivendale. I just love how beautiful they created this place. Image the photo opportunities, just incredible! I also really enjoy good foreshawdowing, it gives tiny hints if you listen and helps a watcher get right into the story. This movie has a good blurb at the beginning that gives some background info and a slight peek at the possible future.
A bit of a side note here, but did you ever notice that no matter how old Elijah Wood gets when ever he yells, shouts, exclaims something he sounds like a 13 year old boy? Ya just something I have discovered recently while watching his newest movie '9'where he voices a character.
Okay back to main overviews, the music. Oh my god the music! Howard Shore did an unbelievable job. The music is epic, sweet, heartbreaking, breathtaking. Itsunami something I would want to listen to while reading or just relaxing. There really isn't a thing a do not like about this movie, besides Boremire , he can go over a waterfall...(FORESHAWDOWING!).
All in all a wonderful set of movies and I do recommend you watch them in a marathon fashion. Just get snacks and drinks, turn off the phone and do it up. It is pretty amazing to fall into such a world. Seriously it might just exist...you never know!
Ps only 492 left!

Four More Movies
This week I watched a few movies, The Shawshank Redemption, The Wizard of Oz, My Fair Lady, and Chicago. The only one I watched this week that I had not seen before was Chicago. Needless to say it was awesome. Lets do this in an organized fashion...movie title and little blurb about each movie.
From the top:
Movie #5 (497) The Shawshank Redemption
Based off the short story by Stephen King titled "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption". I saw this movie because a friend of mine loved it and suggested I watch it. Being a Stephen King fan I knew I might just like it ... being most of his books made into movies suck this one most definitely did not! Tim Robbins who plays Andy Dufresne plays him well. He is simple and fairly serious until he begins to see how the system works and accepts his certain situation whether he was guilty or not. The movie is rather long but really how else would you tell the story of a man living out the what would have been 2 life sentences... it really is an interesting story with the mix of different stories and characters that come into the main story line. It is almost as if Andy is just there in his part experiencing it all, but not letting it truly affect him. I obviously do not wish to give anything away...Andy had a plan and he stuck to it. That's all I have to say.
Movie #6 (496) The Wizard of Oz
"OH its a wonderful place!" says my 3yr old brother as for the first time he watched Dorthy walk out of her fallen home and into Munchkin-land in the Merry Old Land Of Oz. It was actually awesome watching his facial expressions while he experienced OZ for the first time. I was shocked when I found out that the movie was filmed in 1939...there is some pretty good special effects for the time it was filmed. You know a movie is truthfully timeless when a busy 3yr old will sit and watch the whole thing. It may be 70 years old ( which actually amazes me) but it still has enough magic to entertain the young of this generation.
Movie #7 (495) My Fair Lady
I instantly fell in love with this movie when I first saw it. I honestly do not have much to say about this movie. It has adorable songs, characters you begin to love and of course the amazing Audrey Hepburn ( obviously I love the movie because we have the same last name, ha ha). I would have to say that my favourite thing about this movie is the transition Eliza goes through but how she still keeps a bit of her real self. The best song is "Show Me" in my opinion, I think the lyrics are awesome!
"Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love, Show me! Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire. If you're on fire, Show me!" and so on and so forth. Overall one more movie off the list!
Movie #8 (494) Chicago
Directed by Rob Marshall and the winner of 6 Academy awards really no surprise!
The 1920's, my number one favourite era in history...gangsters, illegal booze, burlesque, flappers, flasks, thigh highs, heels, garters and guns and did I mention the awesome music?
I watched this movie with my older sister about 30 minutes in we had to pause for snacks. It was already gold absolutely loving the way the musical numbers where performed and worked into the line of the story. I am a fan of musicals and this is the first time I had seen one that did not randomly have the actors burst into random songs where they are more of a transfer to the stage, change your outfit and belt it out style. Richard Gere, oh wow his singing and his dancing...and his strip show might have been able to live without having to experience that. But Gere aside loved the story, the drama, the murders and the music! All that just for your name in the headlines. One I do recommend for sure!

Blade Runner on a Sunday Night
Movie #4 (498) Blade Runner
It is actually a little weird to watch a movie like this, created in 1982, set in 2019. 2019 is only 9 years away and there is no way our world would be as it is in the movie. I understand that it is one persons view of what the world could be, one story, but how many stories have been told that kinda have the same effect. Each car with the ability to fly, people living peacefully on other planets. The whole world metal and flashing lights. I wrote this out while I was watching the movie...I had yet to see a live animal when an owl flew across the screen...two seconds later I was informed it was fake, a "replicant owl". So is there animal life? To think (by this screenwriters point of view) that they had this vision of what the world would be like in 2019 makes me happy that our world hasn't completely gone to shit..yet. I can honestly say that I would not want to life in a world with no wild life, no scientific mysteries, no questions. I just think it would be hella boring...do replicants breath? do the bleed?...well I am almost done the movie and just noticed it is really dark and seems to be raining all the time. Batty is a really intense character. The end of the movie really surprised me, Batty kind of broke my heart at the end...he might have been the "bad guy" but he just didn't want to die. I wont go into detail, leave it for you to watch on your own.
PS: Replicants do bleed. Red blood and all...
Quotes:
Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.
Deckard: I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life; my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

Summer Nights...and Sweet Transvestites
This past Saturday, December 16th, I watched two of my all time favourite musical movies...Grease and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Practically on different ends of the spectrum when comparing content and musical numbers.
Movie #2 (500): Grease
Grease was filmed in 1978 and the ripples it created are still affecting anyone young and old today who love good music, a fun story and awesome dance numbers in a film. Directed by Randal Kleiser and staring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John as well as many others who gathered fame and a name from this one movie.
I have loved Grease for as long as i can remember. When I was younger I had a VHS copy of Grease and watched it so many times it eventually stopped working...later I was given a second copy on VHS and just this past year I finally bought it on DVD. I have changed and grown up since then but this movie is still magic to me. I can't really pinpoint why I found/find it so awesome, could be the music, the dancing, the era in which it is set, could even be the actors themselves. I honestly don't know. I think that if this movie had not been on the list I would have vetoed the whole idea of "must see" movies. Grease is seriously a timeless classic. I plan to make sure my younger siblings and eventually my children know and at least watch the movie once....Rocky Horror on the other hand...
Movie #3 (499): The Rocky Horror Picture Show
I believe you need a taste for outside normal when and if you ever watch this movie. Whether you choose to enjoy it or not it does say something for offbeat musical..comedies? tragedies?...science fiction? I have no idea what The Rocky Horror Picture Show really is, besides awesome. It was filmed in 1975, originally a play in London,bringing it to theatres with the audience participation, dances and sing-a-longs it had become a fast underground cult classic. Now over 30 years later the movie is still being shown in select theatres for special occasions..normally Halloween.
I was shown it in grade nine at a friends house. I immediately loved it! Just the random musical numbers, the dancing ( who seriously has not done the Time Warp at least once?). I then bought the movie and showed it to my friends at my grade 9 Christmas party...most were like wtf, but others fell in love just as I had. It became a fast favourite of almost the whole group eventually...we had the songs on our ipods, our own favourite characters and had talked many times about themeing a party rocky horror.
Well, 3 down only 498 left to go!

And so it begins, 500 movies to go...
Tonight I began my self-inflicted challenge of watching the 501 must see movies suggested in the popular book. I decided this would be something fun to fill in my extra time, with all things considered I do have two jobs and a busy family life, but one job is at a movie store…perfect fit? I think so. I started with purchasing the movie journal. In the journal was the list of movies (alphabetically) and places to write my own reviews and star ratings. That, and facebook gave me the idea to blog about my cinematic adventure. I’m hoping that is what it will turn out to be. An expansion of movie culture, who knows I might end up a huge western fan by the time I'm done.
The first movies I have decided to watch are ones I already have in my library, true these are titles I have seen multiple times but is that not why we buy movies in the first place? To be able to watch them whenever? Anyway, that’s what I do…
Therefore, with one down and 500 to go it begins.
Movie Number 1 > Scream (501)
Directed by the ever famous Wes Craven, I absolutely love this movie. The first time I saw it I was a little younger (try like 10) and was scared shitless. Now being a horror movie fan, I love the script and tie-ins of all classic horror flicks like references to Halloween, Friday the 13th, Prom Night, etc. The movie has a great plot twist at the end, and the actors just make it so much better (Matthew Lillard = my favourite). I don’t want to give anything away (if you haven’t seen the movie, please crawl out of your hole and go rent it) but I must relay the rules to survive.
#1: Never have sex, only a virgin will be able to outsmart the killer and live
#2: No Drinking, No Drugs – sin factor
#3: Never say, “I’ll be right back…” because the chances are very high that you will not be back.
Those are the rules as the movie tells it, if you have broken rule number one, just follow rules 2 and 3 and maybe you will be okay.
Hey, you never know if you are gunna end up in a scary movie!
