MY GOAL IS TO SEE 100 NEW (to me) MOVIES BY OCTOBER 24, 2008

New movies, old movies, made for TV, on dvd, on TV, in a theater... anything. I just want to increase my movie knowledge by 100 movies in 100 days.

Day 17, total films watched: 24

I Am Legend -DVD rental- **
Headin' Home -Cable- **
Unacompanied Minors -Cable- **

I was looking to rent Lost Boys 2, but the machine at the grocery store didn't have it. Still, I was anxious to try out the machine so I grabbed "I Am Legend" a film I didn't get around to over the holidays.
It's a fun movie. I have seen the story done before (with Vincent Price) and there weren't many surprises here.

Headin' Home is a Babe Ruth bio-pic that is very short on truth still it was fun. It's a silent film from the early 1920s and features funny title cards such as "She thought Babe was the most handsome man in town... it was a small town." It gets a bit muddled in the last 20 minutes.

Unacompanied Minors was a 2006 film that was basically Home Alone in an airport. Lewis Black is hysterical.
