Rocktober Ends!


I guess it has taken me a little over a week to come down off the high I experienced all October long. My roommate (known more affectionately as "Dantom" in the comments area) wanted to have a massive movie series that spanned the entire month. We were able to watch a total of 36 movies ending with a The Exorcist/The Shining Double Feature on Halloween Eve and Halloween on the 31st. I know this is late, but our list of movies was so good I thought it needed to be shared.

Halloween

Our goal was to continue our movie watching excellency into November starting with The Nightmare Before Christmas on the 1st since the setting of the movie actually begins the day after Halloween. However, we were never able to accomplish this goal since both my job and Dantom's school work have begun to take top priority. So far this month we have watched Dr. No (which I fell asleep during), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), and The Devil Rides Out.

Anyway, stay tuned for more. And is everyone in agreement that the latest episode of The Office is one of the best episodes to date? Stay tuned for a review on that as well!

That's a pretty crazy list of movies to watch in one month. I could have told you that Halloween III is god awful. We ended up watching The Shining at my halloween party last week. It's always an awesome choice.
