revised challenge: 125 movies in 2008  
I ran out of space in my 100 movies in 2008 post because of my glowing review of The Dark Knight. Therefore, the reviews for the films that I watched/will have watched post the original 100 movies in 2008 challenge, will appear henceforth this entry.

50 movies rewatch challenge for 2008  
Seeing how I have already reached my goal of 100 movies in 2008 and how I have volunteered to take on [info]moonfire_sb's challenge of seeing 125 movies in 2008 and am well underway with completig that as well, I've decided to do one of the rewatch challenges. I shall do the 50 movies one, because it is now August and I didn't plan on this challenge in January.

XF2 - Nailed it for the fans, not the general audience!  
I saw The X-Files: I Want to Believe in theaters yesterday!

I actually wound up having to pay for the tickets, even though I had Hollywood Movie Money having bought X-Files: Revelations especially for the purpose of getting the said movie money. Turns out AMC doesn't redeem those darn things. Argh. Now, I'll have to go and see XF2 again in the theater that accepts the Hollywood Movie Money, I suppose XD (If I spend enough money on it, will they make a follow up? How long will it take for them to get their $30 million budget back? There were only about 20-30 people in the theater with me and I went to the 4:10 p.m. showing on Friday, which was the opening day).

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die  
Inspired by [info]salivia_baker, I decided to post this list (it only includes movies up to and including 2005) and see how far I've gotten. Turns out that I'm doing pretty good on the latest releases, but not as well on the older movies. As a teenager, I made a conscious choice not to watch black and white movies because I grew up having to watch movies in black and white as a child because I only had a black and white TV for a while. Recently, I've gotten back to appreciating the classics though, particularly Alfred Hitchcock's films.

Incidentally, there are a lot of crossovers with the Top 250 movies on IMDB list.

IMDB's Top 250 movies challenge  
To follow [info]friend_of_frodo's example, I'm going to keep track of IMDB's Top 250 movies and plan on having watched at least 100 of them by the end of 2008.

The ones I have already seen are in bold (92 movies as of 06/02/08). In parenthesis is the movies I watched number.

100 movies in 2008 challenge  
Against my better judgment, I'm going to try to do another movie challenge. I successfully completed the 207 movies in 2007 challenge - it seems that 100 movies, in addition to my rewatching of the The X-Files and catching up on other TV shows shouldn't be impossible.

207 movies in 2007 (movies 1-50)  
I realized that there is a meme that singingrl did last year that I wanted to do this year because I didn't find out about it until too late last year.

The meme is 100 movies in a given year, but I believe I can do better and do 207 movies in 2007.
