Hi everyone, my name is Sam and this is my Pretty Cool Movie Review Blog. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Aren’t blogs stupid and nobody reads them anymore?”. Yes, that is super accurate. Blogs are dumb and this one will be no different. In fact, I’m really not expecting anyone to read this, its more of a way for me to keep track of the movies I’m about to watch and for me to learn more about film culture. Posting blog entries is kinda like homework for myself to try and keep me on task with this project.

The project I am referring to is of course my journey to watch the 100 greatest movies of all time (according to popularity polls by IMDB). Every Sunday I will watch a movie from this list, starting from 100. I will then digest this movie and write a little review about it and give it a score. By the end of this, hopefully, I’ll have my own list of 100 greatest movies! Or maybe I give up and don’t, who knows?

Why am I doing this? Well, I actually really like cinema, I just haven’t seen all that many movies. In fact, I’ve probably seen a below-average amount. This is because whenever I am in the mood to watch a movie, I tend to gravitate toward things I’ve already seen. So in an effort to break out of my comfort zone and stop my super lame and boring movie-watching method, I’m forcing myself to watch movies I might not like. I’m even starting with a black-and-white German film from the 30s, which sounds pretty terrible, to be honest.

Now, in the case that anyone happens to stumble upon this and reads any of my reviews; be warned, I don’t really know that much about movies so my takes are probably terrible and baseless. However this is a personal journey, so the opinions of any readers are also terrible and baseless.

Ok, enough with the intro, here is Sam’s Pretty Cool Movie Review Blog.
