Everything is coming to the theaters in 3-d. So much so that even the small movie house in Sheridan, Wyoming *Boring mecka of the west or Sheep are safe and the other white meat, are now in the running for the new state moto!* is even going high tech with a new 3-d screen in the works. The larger city I have lived in several times, Bellingham, WA has many movie houses-- the newest in the works, will have 17 screens for your enjoyment. Three of them playing a movie worth seeing! I at the time, do not feel I can afford seeing new movies--mainly because the price of popcorn breaks my budget! And have spent many a late night watching movies on my computer via Netflix.
First I am compeled by myself to say that Netflix offers me no pay for this particular blog or for mentioning there company name mutiple times. I would also like to follow that up, that I would gladly write a more glowing article up and make sure it was well read, for pay.
In my current situation, when I am not at work I tend to dwell on the past to much. And a small amount of wandering for my brain per day is plenty for everyone involved. I currently have no vehicle and live in a very not warm environment. So having access to tons of movies, practaly instantly is a great joy. My joy started with a compition named Redbox. My girlfreind and I were living in a mini van. We were in between jobs and homes. In a short fashion, we had the van very pimped out. Including a duel screen dvd player! I hate to say my current residence is not much bigger. But that is changing very soon.
My minor main complaints to Netflix are not really the companys fault. And ten years ago, we would laugh at such things being a problem. First is that I rely on free Wi-Fi and in a state were the wind comes out to play a lot, it is hard to get a signal. Many movies have turned into six hour movies while trying to keep a signal. The secound is the size of my screen. *Thats what she said!* I recently watched the movie 2012---- we have two years too live!--cliff notes for you and actually really enjoyed the movie. But my two inch lap top screen gave some room to not fully enjoy the speciel effects. And that is 90 percent of this movie.
A huge perk is that my girlfreind and I can watch movies at the same time. This dosn't sound to abnormal. But at the moment we are four states away. So it turned into a great long distance movie night. All of this viewing and free time led me to my own viewing guide. Agree with it or not. I always welcome comments on every post! I am sure this list will continue to grow. What are some of your favorite 5 bucket movies?
Ranked in popcorn buckets:
1---- Major bummer movie. I wan't my admission money back and everyone elses in the theatre!
2----Watchable. Watched the whole thing somehow. Plot slightly deeper than a porno.
3----Goodish
4----Great *Thought provoking*funny*interesting * and otherwise good
5----Reserverd for few movies. My highest rankink, yo!
Heres some of the movies from the last six long months. I am sure the list will expand from time to time. I try to watch a wide range of films to stay interested and learn.
*1984-- *3* I just watched this movie. And although once again the book is waaaay better-imagine that, are we really all that far from complete Big Brother domination as a society right now? "Ignorence is strength."
*Surf School-- *1,5* Says this show is filmed in another country, but I am pretty sure it's set in CA, dude! One of the main charicters reminds me to much of my mother in law, and not in a good way! Don't hit play on this bomb.
*Zombieland-- *3.5* I have been on a Woody Herrison kick latly. By chance mainly. I thought this would be a mindless movie, but really got a kick out of it. And Herrison looks bad ass in his zombie fighting outfit. Makes me want to play my new obbsession game more---Plants vs Zombies. The movie and the game are very addicting!
*2012---*4* We have two years to live! I do not like most doom & gloom movies, but really liked this one. Although it seemed long. Have to watch again on a big screen, my laptop screen ruined most of the speciel effects.
*Dear John---*4* Not as much of a tear jerker or chick flick as I had assumed. Although extra hard to watch while living so far from my own loved ones.
*Funny Farm---*3* Old school with Chevy Chase. Can't go wrong with him in a flick!
*The Man with Two Brains---*3* Another old school movie with a personel fav-Steve Martian
*Maid in Sweeden---Havnt finished. Kind of turned into a porno.
*Smily Face---*2* Although I lived in Oregon for six years, I never tried any weed. I have been in many a hot boxed room, were im sure I got a goodish contact high. I do like a good stoner movie--This is not one.

*Scorched---*4* Woody Herlison again----Three seperat bank workers decide to rob the bank on the same weekend.

*Tenure---*3*
*Daxota Sky---*4*

*The Cake Eaters---*2.5* Although this portrays Fredricks Attaxia *my fiances "condition" thier really is no plot to this movie.
*National Lampoons-Bagboy---*2.5* Lacking for a Lampoon film. But worth a view.
*Slamon Salmon---*3.5* Although the title sounds like a morbid porno is a good movie the likes of Waiting.
*Year One---*3* One of the movies my girlfreind and I watched at the same time. Ammusing, but the ads make it look way better.
*Old Dogs---*3.5* I am a sucker for kids movies but did not enjoy this one to much. Was some good points, but far and few in between.
*Outsourced---*4* Worker is sent to train foreign telemarketers to sound American. I really liked this movie.
*18 year old Virgin---*1.5* The title kind of says it all. Some nude scences ranked it higher.

*Dude Weres my Car?---*3* Dude it's so dumb its funny
