100 Movies in April

[4Dblu]

damn if it wasn't for that thing called a JOB i'll b down. but i can only watch movies on my days off which is Monday & Tuesday.

I've got a part time job and i am a full time student, but this goal seems doable. I may have to stay up late some nights.

If you watch mostly Silent films, you can accomplish the goal in significantly less time

Nice! Good luck to ya.

I love doing things like this. I'm currently in the middle of a Hercules and Xena marathon. Prior to that I watched from begining to end everything Star Trek - all series and films. Took me a little over 14 months and I only had one day where I did not watch a Trek show (third day in). Have fun.

I figured I need to watch a movie ever 7:12. So I will need to be at 11 movies at 7:12am on the 4th which I think I can do. That's 5 more movies by the time I get off tomorrow morning.

I have adult ADHD so I get into these things and then get distracted. I had been watching all the movies on both AFI top 100 movies, but took a break, then I started to watch Star Trek TOS from the beginning since I had never watched it, but that to is now on hold. So maybe I can stick this one out, and watch some of the movies on my AFI list.

No chance I'll be able to do 100 in April as I have school after this week, but I have been writing down every movie I've seen this whole year. Since January 1st, I've seen 128 movies, and that's not counting the ones I watched more than once. For Example, I've seen 500 Days of Summer 7 times since January 8th.

Nonetheless...I'll give it a go to see how far I can get:

*Ratings out of 5 stars*
April 1:
1.) The Poker House(2008) - ****1/2
2.) Tin Man Part 1(2007) - **** (Yes it's a TV series, but it's like a movie)
3.) Brick(2006) - ****1/4
4.) Psycho(1960) - ****

April 2:
5.) All-Star Superman(2011) - ***1/4
6.) Jumanji(1995) - ***1/2
7.) A Night At The Roxbury(1998) - *3/4 (Bad Movie, but I had fun with it)
8.) Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog(2008) - ****1/2
9.) A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas(2011) - ***3/4
10.) Punch Drunk Love(2002) - **3/4
11.) Jeff, Who Lives At Home(2011) - ****1/4

April 3:
12.) [500] Days of Summer(2009) - *****

Thats 3 movies a day for 20 days and 4 movies a day for the other 10 days I've taken this semester off school, and only work about 20 hours a week right now and it's in the mornings, but even with all my free time couldn't manage that. But good on ya for trying.
Ive never counted before, but I know Ive done over 30 at one point.

Ive been too obsessed with watching Korean dramas lately, that Ive hardly been watching much of any movies save for a theater visit or two each week

Btw, is this all movies you haven't seen before, or just watching any 100 movies?

Pretty sure any feature film counts.

It's any movie including ones I seen before, but I am not counting movies I watch more than once this month. I usually watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail 15-20 times a month, but for this list it only counts once.

Ted is a perfect film?

One huge thing I didnt like about Ted was that John deserved a decent girl that wouldnt put him on probation, not to mention earplugs for when she talks.

Can't think of them, but May will be my movie month, not much going on then.

I don't know why, but I think it's pretty hilarious how you have 1/4,3/4 of a star ahahhaha. I don't care for N@TR much either, it didn't live up to the hype.

I know a lot of people don't rate to the quarter of a star, however I have always thought the more defined it the review is, the better representative it is.

It's not that I hated Night at the Roxbury, It was a bad movie, but I was entertained by it. However as someone who is a striving to one day become a real critic, my rating is based on the movie itself first. I can enjoy a movie as a fan too though I have just taught myself to distinguish the two, think with 2 sides of the brain at the same time if you wanna call it that.

I'm 18, graduating High school in June, in between a full time internship, and a job. Spring Break this week and my original plans fell through. What I watch this week is going to be it mostly, other than what I usually do, I usually try to watch 1 movie a night when I'm in school, 2 on the weekend days(If I don't have anything to do) so no chance I get 100 by the end of the month.

However I already keep a log of every movie I watch in the year anyway, doing April's on here can't hurt.

I'm a full time college student and part time worker. I average 75 movies a month, so this isn't much of a stretch.
