212 Films, 7 Months
Click above to view my blog.
"Well, I’m Kate, I’m 19 years old and a bit of a film nut. I’d have to be to even bloody consider doing this! I originate from England and moved to Florida on October 30th 2009. I’m currently on my gap year and therefore have a little bit [too much] spare time on my hands! I love movies and hope to study Film Production at college/university.
My task idea was given to me by the movie Julie/Julia. But I can’t do a year due to me starting college in August next year so I’ve narrowed it down to 7 months starting from the 3rd January 2010 [because I'm travelling from New Jersey on the 1st and 2nd]. I shall try to watch a movie every day/night for 7 months and review it online [probably live as well… dunno, have yet to think that through just yet.] Empire Magazine made a list of the top 500 movies of all time and I managed to get the first 212. Well, that’s a bit of a lie as I cut out the ‘horrors’ [I’m sorry, I just can’t watch them at all] and the ones I studied in my A Levels [I cannot watch A Bout de Souffe or Vertigo again. I know they’re classics but I would end up damaging myself and those around me!]. And there were also the ones that Netflix [which I will be using to watch the films] didn’t have which were only about 3 and they were ‘foreign’ films.
So yes. That’s what I plan to do. There may be the occasion where I don’t watch a film but I’ll try and make up for it with two the next day though dunno if anyone would actualy care or read them ^_^
Dust to dust, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health, may the force be with you, because you’re worth it, ahmen and out.
