Losery Post of Loserdom: Movies Watched In May 2014

Yet another month has gone by.  I surprisingly watched some movies again this month.  Why a post for a month and not wait for a quarter or something?  Well I started taking out AFI Top 100 movies from the library with a vengeance and watched as many as the library had/was able to get in.


The "New" Movies this month: Better Living Through Chemistry - ok / The Book Thief - I found it a little pointless / 47 Ronin - ok special effect laden movie / Grudge Match - better than I thought / I Frankenstein - they turned Frankenstein into an angels vs devils action flick, I guess it was an ok movie considering I didn't have to pay to see it / The Monuments Men - I found it kind of boring / Pompeii - completely disposable action movie (better than many I watched this month), with really cheesy volcanic eruption.  I was waiting forever for the pyroclastic flow / That Awkward Moment - it was ok / Vampire Academy - kind of feels like a "me too" picture, not quite Twilight.  One of the females occasionally had some decent lines


Many of the Top 100 movies kind of suck and leaves me wondering why they were on the list.  There will probably be a few "impression" posts about that in the future.  Here we go....
