UPDATE - July 2012

Posted on 20:28 by Unknown
First and foremost, I hope everyone who took the time to read it, enjoyed my latest TOP 20 list. It was, of course, the 5th TOP 20 list and I can honestly say, looking over my selections, that I'm pleased with how it turned out. The last 100 was great batch of films and I can only hope the next 100 will be as good. Anyway, think of this as a, sort of, State of the Union Address, as it pertains to the goings on of my small blog. I wanted to swing...

TOP 20: #402 - #501

Posted on 16:13 by Unknown
The halfway mark has been reached, ladies and gentlemen and I, for one, cannot believe it. September 11, 2009 seems like only yesterday. That day I came, created a blog and began watching my way through the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" book. On that day, having 501 films watched seemed like a lifetime away. But, in reality, I was able to accomplish this milestone in just under three years. I could sit here and go on and on about how...

The Second Half Begins This Fall!

Posted on 19:20 by Unknown
It's become a tradition of mine (and one that I enjoy doing) to put together little sneak peek videos for you guys and give you a glance at some of the film I'll be watching during my next run of 100 films (#502 - #601). It's hard to believe that I've nearly watched my way through one half of the "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die" book and to commemorate the occasion, I've tried to schedule some heavy hitters. Of course, you already know about "Kubrick Week", but there are other big titles planned for my next 100. I've taken the time to...

June 2012 Recap

Posted on 10:02 by Unknown
Before I get into this month's recap, I just wanted to let everyone know that I intend to make the 5th TOP 20 this weekend. I'm going to be putting in a little extra overtime between today and tomorrow, so that I'll be on tap to present the TOP 20 on Sunday afternoon or possibly Monday. I also wanted to apologize in advance for any sloppy writing or shortened reviews. I'm kind of running on fumes at this point and am just ready to wrap up the 100...
