This blog will serve as a record for my journey though cinema. I will adhere to the following rules throughout my film
trek:
1.
I will watch at lease one film a day.
2.
I will record my thoughts on at least one of the films watched each day.
4.
The written response to each film must be
published within a week of the original viewing.
As I document my journey through cinema, I will watch many different kinds of films. While some might be
black and white Swedish masterpieces, others would make Bergman turn in his
grave. I hate the divides that exist
among the modern film community. If I had a dollar for every time I read a
post online of a genre film fan bashing an art-house film fanatic and vice
versa, I would have enough money to retire off this blog alone. I hope that
this blog will act as a merger between these two seemingly distinct groups of film
viewers. We can all weep at Isak Borg’s existential crisis inside Bergman’s
masterful 1957 film “Wild Strawberries” one night, while the next night we can cheer
for Tony Anthony’s ridiculous blind gunslinger as he fights a Mexican bandito (played
by none other than Ring Star) inside Ferdinando Baldi’s 1971
western “Blindman”. We are all cinephiles, and I hope this blog will
demonstrate that a fan can appreciate the films of Kurosawa, Bergman, and
Godard, and still love the films of Wood, Yuzna, and even Bay…..well, maybe
not Bay. I hope you all can find some kind of entertainment inside this
experiment in cinema and will follow me through my film addiction.
