The Challenge

Hello all. I have considered myself something of an entry level film connersiur for awhile (I've never formally taken a film course or undergone any education in either directing or acting). As some of you know, I famously landed my internship with MSN Video last summer when I told the interviewer that 'watching movies' was a hobby (proof that lying and saying doing community service is your hobby doesn't always payoff). I watch a lot of movies, by virtue of having a Blockbuster Total Access account, as well as copious amounts of free time.

I have a tendency to pick odd tasks to do over the summer--one year I decided to try to become ambidexterous, but that ended when I broke a finger on my left hand, and the following summer I tried to read all of the Lemony Snicket books. Anyway, this summer I have decided to watch all the movies listed on the AFI 100 Greatest Movies list. At current I have watched 20/100 movies (I've seen more, but I am discounting those movies that I can't decently recall the plot of, or saw in fragments). In the next post I will list all the movies and keep a running tally of the movies I have seen. In this blog I will attempt to review as many of the movies as I can as I see them (however I am will slip up, I imagine).

Wish me luck.
