31 Days of Film: A Retrospect
So the experiment is over now. I was able to successfully watch thirty-one films, one for each day, and to successfully blog about each and every one. I was able to take a considerable chunk out of my DVD backlog as well as to explore some films I had always wanted to see but never had. There were times when watching the film was a sheer delight and at other times I honestly thought I couldn't get through the darn movie.
So how did the movies stack up? Well for some raw statistics Of the 31 films watched:
5 were comedies
6 were Science Fiction
5 had Bela Lugosi
6 were silent films
13 were Foreign films with
5 Hong Kong
4 Japanese
2 French
1 British and
1 German
8 I tagged as "Classics" and
7 were tagged as Crap.
So what about the present and the future? Well, for now I am just back into my normal, pre January routine. I have almost finished a Mystery Science Theater set and I've gotten back to watching some anime so look forward to some reviews on that. If you are interested as to what's sitting in my "watch pile" right now, well here it is:
(all episodes refer to the next epiosde I will be watching)
Inazuman: Episode 5
Super Robot Red Baron: Episode 27
Ultraman Moebius: Episode 1
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku OAV: Episode 2
Chance Pop Session: Episode 12
Maison Ikkoku: Episode 82
Rose of Versailles: Episode 29
Touch: Episode 41
Mystery Science Theater Vol. 12: (30 minutes left of The Starfighters)
Mystery Science Theater Vol. 13 (20th Aniversary set): First Spaceship on Venus, Werewolf and Laserblast.
So I certainly have a lot on my plate for now. Expect more grand things in the future and if you have any more crazy ideas for experiments feel free to let me know!
