Update: 24/09/10

Hey guys. Just an update as to whats going on. In the next few days I should have my next bunch of reviews up, which will not be for the films I previously stated, but The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Zombieland, and Four Lions.

I'm moving into my new flat tomorrow and am catching up my social life so expect them by Monday or Tuesday. Further more I just finished watching Robert Rodriguez's latest exploitation flick, Machete, so will have a feature review for that sometime next week as well.

As far as my first list goes as well, I've done the top 20, and now just sorting the following 80 from a pool of about 500, but I'm working as fast as I can.

And finally as far as film watching goes, I'm looking to regain my 100% status for the IMDB 250 this week when I watch Infernal Affairs, as well as gaining 100% on the AFI 100 Movies list too. So if everything goes to plan, it should be a succesful week.

Take... erm... what take are we on again?

It's funny how I always seem to be busier in holidays than I am in term time. There's definitelty something wrong there. But hopefully now everything is calming down a bit now, so I should get plenty of time for blogging and reviews.

So whats been keeping me? Well. Between the last time I posted and now, I've turned 20, completed the IMDb 250, restarted driving, been trying to catch up with all my Telford friends, been working, and sorting out various forms of finance. It's been a bit of a whirlwind.

But now everything seems to be sorted, I can start breathing some life into this seriously malnutrioned blog. In the next few days I'll get my review of the Godfather trilogy posted, as well as special on Inception, packed with my thoughts and reactions to it.

This will be the last time I leave my blog for so long. Scouts honour!

Back from the dead.

Don't you just hate it when you have absolutely nothing to do, and then all of a sudden you get avalanched with work? Well that's exactly what happened to me half way through my last semester, and the reason why my blog has been brutally neglected for the last 6 months.

But it has it's upsides too. Have you ever wrote something, forgot about it, found it a while later, and then thought 'this isn't as good as I thought it was?' Well that's kind of what happened here, so I've decided to pick it back up again, and start from fresh.

Instead of being awkward, and rating things out of 10 with decimals, I'm going to do it out of 5. Much simpler, and I won't get into arguments with myself as to whether something deserves at 7.7 or a 7.8. I'm also going to do a feature film for each blog post, and then 3 other films with a brief review as well. The verdict system is staying put though, and each will receive a verdict of either 'the good', 'the bad' or 'the average'.

As promised initially as well, I will be keeping tabs on how I'm getting along on with my quest to complete the IMDB top 250, and do a top 20 list each month on stuff like quotes, actors, directors etc.

So yeah, I'm back, and regular blogging has been resumed.
