I’ve stopped writing a review for each of them, mostly because they’ve haven’t been all that interesting as of late. Maybe it’s because my Netflix queue has them all in chronological order. These movies from the 30’s and 40’s are… I’m not sure if boring is the right word or not, so I’ll just call them underwhelming. So far, only two or three have been worth the three hours to watch them. I might have to shake things up a bit and try to grab some more recent flicks.

When I first decided to do it, I was really interested in film making, and I thought I would feel more “cultured” if I exposed myself to more things. Now it just seems more like a chore. Although, I will admit it’s interesting seeing some of the changes in social behavior, as depicted in the films. One thing that stands out, is that I doubt there are more than a couple scenes where someone isn’t smoking.

I’ve got a couple “techie” posts that I’ve been working on that should be coming up soon, as well as some changes and updates to this site in general.

I must admit, I started off really well. But, a few things in life knocked me off track. My wife and I had a baby, I changed jobs, and a slew of other things. I’ve realized that I’ve only got about a year left, and I really need to get moving.

Probablly my most ambitious of my 101 goals is to watch every movie to ever win an Academy Award for “Best Picture.” At first, I wasn’t able to find a lot of the movies, especially the early ones from the 1920’s and 1930’s. A then… I found Netflix. One of their categories for finding movies is, guess what, “Best Picture Winners.” Looks like I might be able to knock this one out after all.

I’ll be adding more pages to the website for each of the more indepth projects as I go along. Today, I added my full 101 things list, and a page for my “Best Picture” list. Next, I think I’ll restart my Home Theatre PC project.
