104) Grind. Hey kids! Just be yourself and everything will work out! Don't worry about effort or achievement! Just do your thing and someone is bound to notice! My eyes about rolled out of my head watching this and, while I can understand Tom Green and (sadly) Randy Quaid, I couldn't figure out why Dave Foley and Stephen Root would make cameos in such obvious low budget junk. Someone from Newsradio must be involved, but certainly not a writer (or at least not one of the good ones). Anyway, the annoying guy was, well, annoying, the lead was kind of a lame-o, Smooth Lou (?) was greasy/gross and Seth just stood around whining. So yeah, whatever.
105) The Van. The same guy that first told me about The Commitments found out about this, and after a few years of searching neither one of us could ever find a copy or catch it on TV. He moved back to Kentucky three years ago and I don't know if he ever managed to see it, but I really hope he did. It has the same Irish sense of humor as The Commitments (same screen writer I think) and the best parts are the little throw away lines that go by so fast you can't hardly catch them all. Seriously funny stuff.
106) Full Eclipse. So let's go through the cop movie cliche checklist real quick here. Our hero can't do anything but be a cop? Check. His wife just doesn't understand what that means? Check. He has a partner that just got engaged and is ready to retire? Check. Said partner gets shot because of our hero's brash antics? Check. Our hero gets recruited to join a special team that uses a serum to give them werewolf like strengths and abilities? Check. That about covers it. The incredibly disturbing "raped by a werewolf" scene is a new one though.
107) Torque. I have a real hard time taking guys on rice rockets serious as bad guys. Maybe that explains their elevated levels of anger and agression.
107 down, 893 to go.
