Day 32:The Life of Reilly

CNR. Mr. Charles Nelson Reilly is one of america's telivision icons. He has been in dozens of musicals and a staple for charicters in late 60's early 70's sitcoms and gameshows.

His best friends are/were Burt Renolds and Johnny Carson. Those party's I bet were f'n crazy.

This is CNR's one man stage show about his life. And damn was it inreresting. From growing up in the Bronks, mental illness in the family, and knowing Hollywood's elite, years before they were any good.  Watch this movie. You will like it.

3 stars. I like it so will you.

I'm back, BITCHES!

Day 31: "Hump Day"

A proper movie for a wed. Strange comedy. This movie stars Mark Duplass, the actor who is also doing this 365 days of netflix.

An old friend comes to town and stays at his place. They go to a party and the topic of a "artsy porno contest" comes up (no pun) and the discussion that every porn fetish has been made. There is nothing that hasnt been done. But one thing.

2 straight men making a gay porno. Hilarity ensues.

I did like this. Good jokes, good cast and funny, yet sexy, subject. 3 stars. Watch it.

Day 30: "Straight Time" An expariment in Dusty

Straight time is a story of a theif, getting out of jail and trying to live a normal life. The only problem is his porole officer. He is not giving him the tools to be rehabilitated.

Dustin Hoffman's proformance is the best I have seen and a great movie. I had never heard of this movie before but it looked interesting. And I am so happy I found this.

All I can say is watch this film. I give it the covited, 5 Star go tell your mama about this movie award. Watch this movie!

Day 29: "If Looks Could Kill"

Oh Richard Grieko. You were sooooooooooo wrong for this role.

This movie is the classic "mistaken for a spy, but still saves the day" movie. Highschool student/slacker Michael Corbin cant graduate unless he takes summer school. But the french class he is with is going to Paris for the summer. I sure hope no Bond-like villans have any plans on world domination.

Ok here is the thing. This movie had  a killer action team. Great action moments and Bond villins. It's like this movie had AMAZING potential, but they casted Grieko. He looks like he's in his mid 30's playing a highschool student. His performance was pure shit. No comedic timing for his jokes.

I give it a 2. I dont recomend it, but I liked the action.

Day 28: "Pearl Jam Twenty" or "PJ20"

I love music. Movies and music. I have worked in Suncoast, Sam Goodie, FYE, and used movie and music places. My best friend from middle school on was a sony Diskman that opened my world to real music. The first time I heard Metallica was at study hall, a stoner barrowed my cd player and forgot to take out the disk. It blew my mind. I lost my musical verginity at that moment. He then let me barrow Pearl Jam's "10" album.

I may not have been their first fan, or their biggest, but I am a fan. To be honest I didnt know too much about them. So in my quest for movie nerd-dom, I came across this film. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe (Jerry McGuire, Almost Famous, We Baught A Zoo).

One of the reasons I wanted to see this is that over the summer Pearl Jam had their 20th anniversery concert at Alpine Valley here in Wisconsin. 2 days in summer in wisconsin. Livivng less than a hour away I wanted to see some of that concert, and was hoping it had a little in this film. It did not.

It also did not disapoint! I want to give it 5 stars, but I just cannot. I'm giving it 4. The sound on this is amazing and this will be my first recomendation that if you can, get the bluray from netflix if you have a good sound system. The streaming sound was great but 7.1 will melt my sox off.
