Ceremony Year (2003)
Movies Came Out In (2002) Winner: Chicago – Not a huge fan of musicals, but I enjoyed this. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger “compete” for publicity and fame while in prison and an unscrupulous lawyer (played by Richard Gere) interferes the whole time. I thought Gere was the weakest link, but all in all it’s …
Ceremony Year (2000)
Movies Came Out In (1999) Winner: American Beauty – Great movie, great story, great acting, great directing. It’s a shame that Kevin Spacey turned out to be such a creep/monster, as it soils his really great performance as a father going through a mid-life crisis in this film. The Cider House Rules – Never saw when …
Ceremony Year (1990)
Movies Came Out In (1989) Winner: Driving Miss Daisy – Shockingly, I had never seen this movie until this quest. No particular reason, just never made time to watch it. I missed out.

Ceremony Year (2013)
Movies Came Out In (2012) Winner: Argo – Just okay, in my opinion. Worth watching, but didn’t excite me that much. A true story about the CIA posing as a film crew to rescue hostages during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. Amour – Wow, I did not enjoy this movie. Long and boring in my …

Movies Came Out In (1994) Winner: Forrest Gump – Amazing movie. I know some folks find it corny, I’m not one of them, I simply love it. The story of a “simple” man, from boyhood in the 50’s to life in the 90’s. I really love the story telling and filming of real events into …

Movies Came Out In (2009) Winner: The Hurt Locker – I liked it. Was a breakout role for Jeremy Renner. I haven’t watched it again, so I definitely didn’t love it. The subject matter is a bit heavy has it involves an American bomb squad soldier during the Iraq War who is a bit of …
Ceremony Year (2015)
Movies Came Out In (2014) Winner: Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) – Oh. My. God. This movie was awful. I can’t believe anyone would voluntarily watch this. I have no idea how it won. It was one of the stupidest, boring, and overhyped movies I’ve ever watched. A washed up action hero actor …
Ceremony Year (2008)
Movies Came Out In (2007) Winner: No Country for Old Men – Did not like. Did not “get it”. Thought it was stupid. A hunter accidentally stumbles into the world of a drug deal gone bad near the Rio Grande river. Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, in my opinion, it was just weird and not …
Ceremony Year (1982)
Movies Came Out In (1981) Winner: Chariots of Fire – Long and boring, absolutely did not like this film. I never saw as a kid, my dad said I would hate it. Some almost 40 years later, he was spot on. The plot is 2 Olympic athletes, a Jew & a Christian, compete in the …
