You've Seen One, You've Seen Them All

Why bother to shoot this film? Why not release the old one under a new title? You've seen one, you've seen them all.
-- Cosmo Brown "Singing in the Rain"

As I'm sitting here watching the tail end of Music and Lyrics on TBS
I'm faced with my very, ahem, eclectic taste in movies. And the sheer amount of them that I watch. I go to the movies every week (nearly). I watch movies at home on DVD (or sometimes even VHS!) and of course on TV (because those are the ones that I just need to drop everything and watch even if I own them and even if I've seen them a million times before). I didn't have television service for 1 year, so I watched movie after movie. I now have basic cable service only, which leaves plenty of time (and money) that isn't wasted on reality TV. So I go to the movies.

I know this is corny, but I was recently totally inspired by Julie and Julia; the Julie character started a blog ... so I started making fb notes of the movies that I see, which now has expanded to a blog! Like a super duper abridged review of the movies. Maybe an unreasonable feat, but nonetheless I like a challenge. I will try to divide them up by month so as not to overwhelm the staggering number of readers that will of course be dazzled with this innovative idea of movie reviewing.
