I’ve decided to keep a running tally of the films I watch this year. I’ve done this off and on for a long time and even shared this listing with friends but I’m going public with it for the next 12 months. What I’ve watched and my rating of it on a 1-to-10 scale will be posted at the end of each month. I’ll even detail what ever television series I’m checking out with some brief comments as well.
Here’s the list for January:
EMANUELLE AND THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE (1978)- 6
THE LORELEY’S GRASP (1974)- 8
CHARLIE CHAN AT THE OPERA (1936)- 6 (rewatch)
FUTURAMA: BENDER’S BIG SCORE (2007)- 8
CONVOY BUSTERS (1978)- 6
CHILDREN OF MEN (2006)- 10 (rewatch)
HATCHET (2007)- 2
THIS IS NOT A TEST (1962)- 2
LATITUDE ZERO (1968)- 6
MASTERS OF HORROR: DREAM CRUISE (2007)- 2
MONSTER OF LONDON CITY (1964)- 7
BAY OF BLOOD (1973)- 8 (rewatch with Tim Lucas commentary track)
CLOVERFIELD (2007)- 9 (Simply brilliant)
THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN (2005)- 8
THE SECRET OF THE RED ORCHID (1962)- 7
THE CRIME DOCTOR’S DIARY (1949)- 6
SWEENY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET (2007)- 8
I also watched several episodes of the very good first season of HEROES and the entire excellent third season of LOST. I also finally checked out an episode (via cheap DVD) of the old western series THE RIFLEMAN. It’s a very well written show that seems more a reflection of the times in which it was made than of the period of history it portrays. I can’t wait to see more and wish for a legitimate release.
