It's been far too long since I posted a list blog post on here. After watching Inception rise to #3 on the IMDB Top 250 (now I think that's a bit too high even for a 5 JR film) I got to thinking.... which movies that are not on the top 250 deserve to be there. A few immediately came to mind and I present to you my personal list of the five most underrated movies in cinematic history (well actually just the past 20 years).

It's very rare when a movie comes along that brings something entirely new to the idea of storytelling. In 2000, a film called Memento started the whole temporal narrative trend that has since been adopted by popular fare such as Lost, Flash Forward, and Star Trek (the new one). Christopher Nolan's Memento was unique and made the audience re-think the traditional structure of a film plot. 10 years later he's done it again by creating an original story that deals with different levels of reality. Rather than going back and forth through time, the story of Inception takes the audience through multiple sub-levels of conscious. It's a ride I haven't experienced at the movies in a while and the end result is remarkably original and extremely engaging and interesting to take in as a viewer.

The original Predator that was released in 1987 is one of my favorite films of all-time. It marked the official arrival of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a legitimate action star and featured amazing tension and visual effects. The tension in that original movie was built up so well and really made you feel like you were in the jungle along with the commandos on screen.

I like a lot of things about Facebook. It really is the most engaging social networking site out there and I can't believe I haven't become bored with it over the past 2 or 3 years of accessing it. One of the increasingly annoying aspects of the site, however, is how Facebook seems to think it's all hot shit and knows what you like before you choose to "like" it yourself. The recommended pages area of the front page allows Facebook to post suggested pages based on existing pages and content you've decided to "like" over the history of your profile.

I'm not really sure if the classic 80's action TV series The A-Team needed to be remade into a 2010 popcorn action flick. Nowadays with the way Hollywood seems to crave remaking just about anything, I'm pretty sure NONE of these new remakes are necessary at all. That being said, Joe Carnahan and his producing team of Tony and Ridley Scott decided to give it a try and update the story of four ex-military vigilantes, super-sizing the scope of the TV show and updating all of the stunts.

Once in a generation, a special athlete rises to stardom in front of our eyes. In golf we've seen it with Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods as they all started playing at a very young age. Tiger's prominence was captured on national television when he was 3. And now a new age has dawned for golf as we know it. Joshua Robert Rose is now officially a golfer.
