#50BookPledge
For the year of 2012 I will be attempting to read at least 50 books. It’s a tough task, but I’ll give it my best shot. You can track my progress and get links to my reviews here.
Can’t Stop Marathon
I’m a very heavy user of the Filmspotting.net message boards. It’s one of the best film communities you’re likely to find on the entire web. Friendly folk who love real, in-depth talk about movies and other subjects. I recently decided to take my forum participation to the next level by starting a marathon. The premise is simple. I gave everyone and anyone on the forum the mandate of choosing five films I had yet to see. Any films. Good, bad, long, longer, disturbing, fun, anything.
#1 – Lucky Star (1929, Borzage)
#2 – Little Man, What Now? (1934, Borzage)
#3 – Seventh Heaven (1927, Borzage)
#4 – Three Comrades (1938, Borzage)
#6 – Werckmeister Harmonies (2000, Tarr)
#7 – Time of the Gypsies (1988, Kusturica)
#8 – An Actor’s Revenge, aka Revenge of a Kabuki Actor (1963, Ichikawa)
#10 – Cairo Station, aka The Iron Gate (1958, Chahine)
#11 – The Woodsman (2004, Kassell)
