IMDB Top 250

I'm on a quest to watch or re-watch the top rated 250 movies on IMDB. I'll re-watch movies I haven't seen in over 6 months to a year, or ones that are just really awesome.
I'll copy and paste the list today and that is the list I will go by.
Anything crossed off in Red I have seen in the last 6-12 months, or prior to the blog. I'll cross of everything else in blue, and date it as I watch them and of course they will have there on post.

Sun. Feb. 22nd

Movie day with mom. I attempted to study for Environmental Science too.


Was the best of the day. Ricky Gervais is great.
I still don't think I like Dane Cook, it was good at times though.


This was cute, I liked the ending and the message. I liked the little girl in it.

Fri. Feb. 20th

There was a lot of dissing in this movie.

Honestly don't know what I thought of it.
