"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.

The Up Series (2 of 334)


A British film crew follows and documents the lives of 14 7-year-old children from varying backgrounds. They subsequently track them down and inquire about their lives every seven years thereafter. I've seen 7, 14, 21 and 28... with 35, 42 and 49 left to view. It's most interesting when the ones that really don't want to talk about their lives...do. Some fine moments and very entertaining overall.

JUST SAW IT!
