Although it's got Beautiful Scenery and is well acted the 161-minute film requires a certain religious tolerance that I just don't have as it pertains to Christianity, martyrdom and the silence of God. In other words I was bored to death but that's mainly cause I don't find the subject matter remotely interesting but it is a well made film.
#103 - Sleepless: Coming in at 103 is the Action Crime Drama Sleepless.
I’m “biast” (pro): I like Jaime Foxx
I’m “biast” (con): None
Although Action seemed to be occurring throughout this film it never once managed to hold my attention, nothing appeared interesting enough and the chemistry among characters just fell flat. Michelle Monaghan bored me to death as the films lead female role. Foxx plays an undercover cop and when they kidnap his son I just couldn't care less, couldn't care less if the son got rescued either. Nothing about this film appealed to me, plot was messy and I simply didn't enjoy it.
#102 - The Mummy: Coming in 102 is the action-adventure The Mummy.
I’m “biast” (pro): None
I’m “biast” (con): Not much of a Tom Cruise fan
This one also seemed to have a lot of action going on throughout but none of it seemed to really grab my attention. The chemistry among characters was flat and I'll nominate Annabelle Wallis for most boring female role of the year. The only scenes that remotely held my interest were those with Jake Johnson (New Girl) in them but sadly he was not in much of the film. The Mummy herself did nothing for me as well as the plot. This truly was a bore and not just cause Tom Cruise was in it but he didn't help.
FYI - I'm deleting titles from the original qualifier list as I rank them to make it easier for those following to see which films have yet to be ranked.

Silence doesn't really seem like something I'd watch. It doesn't help that Martin Scorsese, for my anywho, is an up-and-down director for me. However, I do like Liam Neeson as an actor when he's not doing Taken/Unknown.
Sleepless doesn't really seem to convince me to watch the movie although I will admit I've enjoyed watching Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan multiple times each in the past.
As for The Mummy, that probably should have stayed dead after The Mummy Returns. I hated Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and the trailers I watched of it left me disinterested. It was on the bottle cover of Fanta, so even though I didn't watch the movie, it was still inescapable.
