I know some of you have been wondering (all 6 of you) where I have been over the past few weeks. Well, best news of this post, I am still alive. As good of news, I will still keep blogging. During my absence, I have been looking to change my career path in the field of accounting. Two weeks ago, I was let go from my job at a small CPA firm. I have been looking for work almost non-stop for 3 weeks. While I look, I have put movies on the back burner. That is about to change. I am still looking for work but movies are helping me get though these times. So, while I am not seeing new movies for right now, I am still a Netflix subscriber.
I am continuing my Deconstructing Sandler series. My thoughts on "Billy Madison" is about 80-85% finished and I just watched "Happy Gilmore" two nights ago plus I will have "Bulletproof" in the mail tomorrow.
I will also start two new series. The first is "Best Picture, Backwards". To simplify, I will be watching all 84 Best Picture Oscar winners in reverse order starting with "The Artist" through "Wings". Two notes: First, I will be watching "The Godfather" before "The Godfather Part II" and both after I watch "The Sting". Second, Netflix doesn't have 5 or 6 of the movies available as of right now. I may skip them or find another means to watch them.
I am also working on "I Can't Believe I've Missed This". I am making lists of the most glaring omissions to my viewing history. The list will be from the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s and pre-1979. The 2000s list will be 10 movies long and the other three will probably be 20 movies long. I will not list the movies beforehand so you will be surprised.
Thank you for reading my blog! I am having a blast writing when I get the chance. Please feel free to leave comments, questions and suggestions. And please follow me on Twitter: @almostflmcritic (there is no "i" in film)
The shining, dirty harry, sudden impact, and 'the good, the bad, and the ugly' need to be on your "I can't believe I missed this" list.
