AFI's Top 100 Movies #30

I know I haven't really written about any of these movies that I've been watching but today this one really struck me, so I thought I'd share. Today's selection:  The Treasure of the Sierra Madre starring Humphrey Bogart.   While this movie isn't really the greatest for current movie watchers because there are no explosions or anything typically considered "exciting" this movie really struck me.   Humphrey Bogart is the villain...you read that right, the villain.  He's so good in this movie you literally forget that he is who he is and I think that's when you truly see the mark of a great actor.  When they cease to be them-self in a role.  So if you're tired of those run-of-the-mill classic Bogart movies...check out this film.    The other thing I think is great about this movie is that the supporting actor (in my opinion) steals the show.  I absolutely love Walter Huston as the Prospector named Howard.  Huston is the father of the

Unfortunately, I have been sadly neglecting most parts of my online life...especially this blog. The good news the main goal I had for the past few months is finally completed: moving in and officially being completely unpacked in my apartment.   So now its back to really creating goals and working to achieve them.   My main goal for March is job searching: now I've got my new Baby Mac (Josh got me an iBook G4 as a Vday gift because this guy was selling it on Craigslist for a super deal) I really need to buckle down and get busy.   My second goal is to get back to my blog...at least once a week.  This blog is too wonderful to be neglected!   So hold me to it...don't let me neglect you any longer! And of course we're trying to work on my 101 in 1001.  I can definitely see that I'm not going to complete the entire thing by September....but I think in part that's the point....it shows you how your life changes in such a short time.   Keep me in line!
