File under: Film, Life

Being a list of films I watched between January 2006 and January 2007

Before we go any further, can I just point out in my defence that
a) I spent a lot of time on planes last year, and when on planes, I watch crap
b) I spent a lot of time being stressed last year, and when stressed I tend towards mindless pap on DVD, a cat on my knee and a nice cup of tea
c) I spent a lot of time last year craving big comfy cinema seat, total blackness, popcorn and an immersive bigscreen experience. Sometimes I’ll go and see things at the cinema just because they’re on.
d) My DVD rental service is a little….erratic. I have a nasty habit of going on to the site once in a while (possibvly while intoxicated) and adding all sorts of random things to the rental queue. Also, I’m sure they send me surprise things which I never ordered….

My rating system, as you’ll notice, is on the five Meg scale, with one Meg being dire and five Megs being something I really enjoyed, would definitely see again and would probably recommend.

I had this theory that I was going to write about the films I saw. As you can see, I’ve watched so much dross in the last twelve months that I don’t think it’s worth the RSI, to be honest. However, since i’ll undoubtedly continue to watch films both good and bad, at some point in the future I might even get around to writing about any new ones…
