Another porn iteration of LotR. This one rated far lower by virtue of being boring softcore biz. Bad writing, acting and humour isn't much of a substitute for the real thing. Still, I guess there was an ounce of effort put into it (the music in particular was nice-------what can I say, I'm a sucker for sitar) and the ladies were quite attractive, even if they didn't really do anything terribly interesting. (Not to sound like some kind of porn snob, but "girlies kissing on each other and rubbing each others' tummies" is a little tame, as it goes.)

Maybe Peter Jackson should consider putting more ladies in the altogether in his next sh*tty Tolkien trilogy. Like it could hurt.

I actually hit the 30 Movie mark last night so I'm proud to join the ranks of VGF!

Bold = Seen in theater, Italics = documentary movies, all are first time views
  1. A Beautiful Mind- A 1/1/2014
  2. Rush- B 1/25/2014
  3. Prisoners- B 2/1/2014
  4. The World's End- D 2/22/2014
  5. Threads of Destiny- F 2/25/2014
  6. Captain Phillip- C 3/7/2014
  7. Non-Stop- B 3/8/2014
  8. The Lego Movie- A 3/20/2014
  9. Divergent- C 3/24/2014
  10. Dear Mr. Watterson- B 3/29/2014
  11. Captain America 2- A+ 4/6/2014
  12. Noah- B 4/6/2014
  13. Mr. Nobody- A 4/20/2014
  14. Spider-Man 2- A 5/3/2014
  15. Her- C 5/18/2014
  16. X-Men: Days of Future Past- A 5/24/2014

  20. Exam- B 7/5/2014

  25. Guardians of the Galaxy- B 8/1/2014
  26. Snowpiercer- B+ 8/2/2014
  27. Taxi Driver- B+ 9/1/2014
  28. Winged Migration- B 10/5/2014
  29. Interstellar- B+ 11/8/2014
  30. Insomnia- B 11/8/2014
Yeah, so I really like superhero movies and sci-fi. I put a lot of Bs, which to me are good movies that just lacked that spark to me. Overall, no really bad movies (except Threads of Destiny, but that was a fan-made movie so doesn't count), just a few disappointments. But my favorite movie of the year was probably Boyhood, which will probably be the only movie on the list that I look forward to buying the DVD of.

If it seems like I'm giving out a lot of super high ratings, all the movies with a dash in front are movies I've already seen and am rewatching because I love them, and a lot of the others tend to be movies that are held in super high esteem anyway that I just happen to agree with.

That being said, giving five films I've never seen before A+ ratings (12 Angry Men, Last Hurrah for Chivalry, Why Don't You Plan in Hell, Nobody's Daughter Haewon, and Poetry) still seems a bit high, especially considering that three of them came out within the past five years.

I'm rating these movies way too high. Anyway, about Nowhere Boy: it's a good movie if you want to know more about John Lennon and his life with Aunt Mimi and his mother Julia. The actress who played Aunt Mimi is amazing and she did a splendid job.

24. Scary Movie 4..? I think? One of them

I think this movie exists in a realm beyond rating systems because objectively I can't give it a positive number and feel good about myself
I believe in second chances, and that's why I believe in you.
