Rosemary’s Baby is ranked 198 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. This Roman Polanski film is a pretty much ‘by the numbers’ horror piece, featuring a well acted, naive Rosemary (Mia Farrow) and her woodenly acted husband who when trying for a baby catch the attention of their local New York [...] March 14th, 2010 So another month and a half passes. Life continues to throw challenges in my path which coupled with my general lethargy means I’ve been slacking on the film front, as well as the completion of other things I should have polished off by now. Still, I’ve now seen 27 of the top 250 that I [...] January 13th, 2010 WALL·E is ranked 43 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. I don’t have much to say about Wall-E but that’s not to say it’s not a good movie or not deserving of being in the top 250. Wall-E is another film from the house of Pixar, the studio we’ve come to expect to [...] January 11th, 2010 Oldboy is ranked 116 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. Oldboy is a South Korean film about a man named Oh Dae-su, who after being kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years before being unceremoniously released, quests to find out who kidnapped him, but more importantly why. We follow his story as he converts [...] January 10th, 2010 While trying to ‘unlock’ the digital copy of the Star Trek Blu-ray I came across a problem where the DRM component of Windows Media Player needed upgrading, which bounced me to the following URL: http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp. The problem with this link was that the sole upgrade button on the page was greyed out, meaning I couldn’t [...] January 7th, 2010 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is ranked 59 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. Eternal Sunshine is an odd film. It’s about a relationship but it’s not really a romantic film. It stars Jim Carey but it’s not full of slapstick comedy. It falls into the realm of sci-fi but doesn’t [...] January 5th, 2010
My Neighbour Totoro is ranked 247 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. My Neighbour Totoro is a Japanese children’s film from Studio Ghibli, a studio famous for films such as Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away (both of which also feature on the Top 250). It follows the story of two children, [...] January 4th, 2010 (500) Days of Summer is ranked 227 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. 500 slots into the romantic genre, of which I’m not the world’s greatest fan. Still the Internet has heaped praise on it for being a funny, original take on the story of boy-meets-girl so I gave it a bash. The [...] January 1st, 2010 Reservoir Dogs is ranked 64 in the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. Right so I’ve watched the first of the 250, Reservoir Dogs: I had my first viewing of Reservoir Dogs at about the age of 12. It was one of those films – like Pulp Fiction or Terminator 2 – that you were [...] January 1st, 2010 2009 was quite a roller-coster year over in the land of turtles called SiD. The year drifted past and I’m not quite sure what happened to it, even though it was quite eventful. Thus time flies past and blogs become neglected. So, on to a new year, a new decade, same old decline in posting [...] |
