2012 1000 Film Challenge - Day 5

Continuing on from yesterday's blog (and this will be updated on a daily basis), I can add 2 more films to my list, leaving me just 986 films to watch...

From the 1st January until the 5th January, the following films have been viewed:

Kingpin
The Money Pit
Coming to America
Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny
Apollo 18
Cedar Rapids
Blades of Glory
The Animal
Under Siege
Stir Crazy
Scream 4
House on Haunted Hill

I can now add the following to this list:

5th January 2012 - ERASER
Arnie is back in one of his most underrated box office successes (& yes, this did do very well at the cinema), where he plays John Kruger (tho the credits of the film only confirm his name as Eraser) who handles entrants in the Witness Protection Program by "erasing" their past life.

Its thanks to films like this that game creators have decided to include movie moments in their games.  Ever played Saints Row the Third?  Wonder where the beginning of jumping out of an aeroplane only to have the aeroplane try to plow you out of the sky?  Thats thanks to Eraser, as the exact same thing happens here.  Granted, there is no alligator wrestling in the game, but I havent unlocked it all as yet, so I wont put it past them.

If you switch your brain off this will be a very enjoyable film - lots of car chases, explosions & deaths.  Plus its Arnie, although there are no one-liners in it.  But for bad italian stereotypes please watch this film!

5th January 2012 - HOSTEL: PART III
I saw someone's status a week ago mentioning Hostel 3.  I thought, surely not.  How wrong was I.  In fact, this is a direct-to-DVD offering that, dare I say, is actually better than Hostel 2.  Granted, theres not as much torture stuff in it, but if you want to see a man get his face cut and peeled off whilst still alive then this is the film for you.

Granted, it still involves a lot of people that you dont care about getting killed.  Except now its set in America.  A plus point is the abundance of boobs in it.  The negative point?  A crap ending.  Watch this if you want to see a man with a gimpy leg get shot by crossbows.  Thats what we all want out of a film right?

Anyhoo, thats a grand total of 14 films so far this year.  Tonights line-up includes Scott Pilgrim vs the World & Real Steel (amongst others).  Keep your eyes peeled for more updates over the next 360 days!
