GO TO MOST RECENT FILMS SEEN
key:
// = seen before
* = seen in a theatre
[s] = short film
what do the numbered rankings mean?
Taking a cue from Ed Gonzalez of Slant Magazine, my New Year's resolution for 2008 is to see at least 350 films. Ed claims to see 800+ per year, but we gotta walk before we can run, and I still (unfortunately) need to hold down a "day job" until I become a regular full-time critic/writer, so 350+ it is for now - which is about 100 more than I have seen in any of the past few years. Next year = 400 ??
