What We Learned
So. We did in fact finish another movie in a weekend. A testament either to our resilience, or obstinacy. Probably a little of both. It is a tiny bit short still, but not enough that we care to continue writing. We don't even really feel accomplishment. Which is sort of depressing. We HATED this … Continue reading What We Learned
Still Going!
We have done a TERRIBLE job of staying in touch. But we are doing pretty well! Just heading back from dinner. We currently have two times more pages than we had at the end of Saturday last Movie in a Weekend - clocking in at 24 pages at 10pm. We expect to have 30 before … Continue reading Still Going!
Back to Work!

Film 11: The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera (1925) dir. Rupert Julian. USA. "The Phantom of the Opera" is not a great film if you are concerned with art and subtlety, depth and message; "Nosferatu" is a world beyond it. But in its fevered melodrama and images of cadaverous romance, it finds a kind of show-biz majesty. And … Continue reading Film 11: The Phantom of the Opera
Film History Docket
Here it is! 365 films for 365 days. These are all significant movies that we haven't seen, taken (largely) from one of three lists. First, the 2012 Sight & Sound Best Films list, as voted on by prominent critics and directors. We combined the critics list and the directors list, eliminated duplicates, and eliminated films … Continue reading Film History Docket
