Spider-Man (2002)

[Movie 121 / Day 103]


Nerdy boy gets bitten by a genetically modified spider and somehow gains superpowers.

It's OK, but a bit long. The best thing about it is J.K. Simmons portrayal of Daily Bugle editor JJ Jameson. He's absolutely brilliant. The second best thing is Kirsten Dunst in a thin dress in the rain. Actually, that might be the wrong way round.

My rating: 7.0 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.4 / 10

Mississippi Burning (1988)

[Movie 81 / Day 49]


Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe are two FBI agents with very different personalities that head the investigation into the disappearance of three voting rights activists from a small town in Mississippi.

Before long, they're fighting with the KKK and struggling to make a case in a town where nobody wants to speak out.

It's a pretty good film and well acted.

My rating: 7.4 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.7 / 10

Inside Man (2006)

[Movie 17 / Day 9]


Highly enjoyable heist movie with a nice twist. Some excellent acting from Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. The worst thing about it is Jodie Foster. I'm not sure if she's miscast or if she was having an off-day or what, but I wanted to slap her. Maybe that's what she was going for, in which case she was brilliant.

My rating: 7.8 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.7 / 10
