#166. The Shop Around the Corner (1940)Not as much of a Christmas movie as I'd hoped, but I loves me some James Stewart and this was no disappointment.
#167. American Pop (1981)
Neat animated film chronicling the history of pop music throughout the 20th century by following the descendants of one immigrant boy. There's one portion of the film (or one character, I should say) that's hard to like, but such is life.
#168. Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)
A 70s movie from Japan where an alien race attempts to destroy earth with their Mechagodzilla, Godzilla comes to the rescue! Unfortunately a bad scientist has created Titanosaurus and uses him against Godzilla. It's pretty much exactly the way it sounds!
#170. Network (1976)
Was pleasantly surprised by this one; an intriguing drama about a television network: "I'm as mad as hell and I'm going to take this anymore!"
#171. Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
I grew up with the 1994 remake of this classic, and boy am I glad I finally saw the original.
#172. TRON: Legacy (2010)
I don't suppose we'll be getting this one in now, but hey! Why not add it to the reviews? I found it provided a good source of entertainment, perhaps a wee bit long though.
#173. Black Swan (2010)
As a wise man named Posen told me today, his three questions of the week are: "How was your Christmas?" "What are you up to for New Years?" and.. "Have you seen Black Swan?!?" I
thought it was the best film of the year, though I haven't seen every one, but it seems to be a wide-spread consensus among those I know.
#174. Chinatown (1974)
Second Faye Dunaway film I watched this week and both were excellent! Jack Nicholson was so good back in the day, I wish he and Robert De Niro would come back to life.
#175. Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991)
I loved Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure growing up, so it was only a matter of time before I had to check this one out. It started off really strangely, but I ended up laughing a fair amount. Also, it references this next movie!
#176. The Seventh Seal (1957)
It almost seems fitting that the last film I saw this year would be this one, especially since GenX will soon be closing. It wasn't done on purpose, I just didn't have the time to watch Throne of Blood before tomorrow night. As such, my last film would be a seemingly bleak one, but one that has hope and a sparkle in its eye. What a wonderful way to end the year.
