"Hi everybody!" (in the voice of Dr. Nick Riviera)

Hi everybody!

I have severely neglected my cinephilia the past 6-12 months, and I am desperate for a structured means of re-invigorating interest in my number one passion. I received a book this past Christmas entitled "1001 Movies To See Before You Die". Sounds like something right up my Bucket-List alley. After some rough calculations and a quick assessment of my temperament, I deduced that it would be a futile endeavor. As my volatile nature would surely leave me at 8 movies viewed, bored, angry at the requirement and abandoning the project. After daily reading of Roger Ebert's home on the web (http://www.rogerebert.com), I've deduced that tackling Ebert's "Great Movies" list, at 334 titles, was a much more reasonable endeavor. Hence, the impetus of this blog. Well... enjoy.

How this will go...

I went through the list (which can be found here: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=greatmovies_fulllist) and checked off the 109 movies that I have already seen. I will post under two categories: SAW IT BEFORE and JUST SAW IT. Self-explanatory? I will periodically post about ones I've already seen, as well as ones I haven't as I knock them out.

Cheers,
Daddy
