Ten Movies I Would Love to See Now!!!

With one of my favorite series getting a sequel soon, Toy Story 3, I have been thinking of movies that I would love to see made. Some of these movies are sequels, with the first not really lending to a sequel, but I would very much like to see more of the story developed. I tried to think of movies that aren't in development, or even talked about, but movies I would just personally like to see. A couple of these films are sequels, while most of these films are based off other things. 10: Requ… Continue

Tractor Thoughts: Episode 2 Miyazaki

Another week of mowing and I thought about Miyazaki and his films. Well the three films of his that I have seen. There really are no films quite like Miyazaki films.

My Top Ten "Epic" Movies

Since I hear the word "epic" so much, especially when talking about movies, I have thought of a list of movies that I believe actually are Epic. Here are my guidelines that I followed: 1) It has to be a movie, but I think a few mini-series can classify as movies. 2) The movie has to take place over a period of years, or the story has to be very rich and grand. 3) As long as the story continues, I view sequels as part of an epic. I hope you enjoy my list. 10: "The Curious Case of Benjamin… Continue
