365 Days. 365 Films.

I know. I know. It's not the most original title. But it works.

Without Chris' permission, I have started my own film blog, where I watch one movie I have never seen before each day for a year, then post my thoughts on it. I know that just about every other person who has started one of these blogs hasn't finished them, and considering I have Comic-Con and college coming up, I may not stay on task. My one goal however is to see just how far I can make it, hopefully not having to back-track and post a weeks worth of reviews in one sitting like I do on the Daily Nerdgasms from time to time.

I will rate movies on an A+ to F- Scale (Yes an F-.) and I plan on reviewing at least one movie of every main genre (Action, adventure, animation, comedy, drama, documentary, horror, romance, and sci-fi).

The five rules to reviewing these films are as follows:

- I must watch one film I have never seen before once a day for a year. This includes Christmas, New Years, and any other major holiday.
- Since 2012 is a leap year, I must actually watch 366 films. The title of the blog just sounds better as 365.
- I am not allowed to watch any movie I have seen completely as a child, which means that as much as I would like to re-watch 'Space Jam' and 'Pokemon: The First Movie', I'll have to do that one my own time.
- I am allowed to review any movie I have started watching before I started this blog as long as I have never gotten half way through them. For instance, I have had 'I ♥ Huckabees' from Netflix since March now, and have only gotten through the first 15 minutes. If I want to review it, I must start it over and finish it entirely, but it will count. (Otherwise, over half of my Netflix Instant Watch queue would be null and void)
- Just to mix things up and keep it interesting, I can not watch two films of the same genre in a row. This rule is only exempt If I choose to watch a movie series marathon (For example, spending a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday watching all three 'Mad Max' films).
- If a movie falls under two certain genres (Such as 'Ghostbusters' [Horror-Comedy] or most Will Smith films [Action-Comedy]) I will normally go to Netflix and see what genre they list the movie as primarily.

So come one, come all, and follow me on this journey through cinematic history.
Take care everybody, Mike.
