More Boring Rankings
Alas, I am adrift in a pool of 5's and 6's. But I made a little bit more headway and thought I would show you the results:
The Basketball Diaries, 1995
Decent preformance by Leo De Caprio in the starring roll but still not a very good movie. I could point out several things about the movie but I'll simply stick to my biggest problem. This was a character driven movie, and I couldn't help but not give a damn about any of the characters involved. That really hurt my abilaty to enjoy the movie. On the plus side it was shot pretty well and wasn't boring, plus it introduced me to the song "people who have died" by The Jim Caroll Band, which I'm totally loving right now.
--- 5/10, 36th best movie of 1995, 321st of the 90's 815th overall
Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control, 1997
A documentary that aims high and doesn't quite make it. It's about four guys that have achieved great things in very unussual fields. The director was trying to make a point about what it takes to be a success. He tried to make the argument that although the mens fields were very different (robot designer, mole rat expert, lion tamer, gardener) they succeeded for the same reason. He did this by first introducing the men, than interviewing them, than having the answers of one play while he showed the other working. It was a pretty well made movie and shot pretty well, but it just didn't quite do it for me. It was a well made movie and I enjoyed it, but I feel that it could have done a lot more.
6/10, 23rd best of 1997, 250th of the 90s, 627th overall.
Unleashed, 2005
I believe I already posted about this movie when I saw it... you can go back and read that if you like.
6/10, 18th best of 2005, 168th of the 2000s, 531st overall
Ohh, I also remembered another show that makes it into my top 50 of all time. It's Insomniac with Dave Attell. I put it in at number 40.

I loved Insomniac With Dave Atell...it used to watch back in the days I had cable...something weirdly addicting about it. Probably all those cigarettes he was constantly smoking...Makes me remember Lourdes...I liked Lourdes...
