Just in case you're new to my blog (Welcome!) or you've forgotten what all this movie review business is about, here's a quick recap:
The Alphabetical Movie Project is a movie and writing project my flatmate/best mate JP and I are doing. We both love movies (JP studied film at uni) and writing (I do have this blog after all) and needed something fun to do. So, we're watching all the movies that we own in alphabetical order, and then writing reviews.
I post my reviews on my blog here and JP emails his to friends. If you wanna get JP's reviews just send me a quick email or comment and I'll get JP to add you to his email list. We have very different styles in movie tastes and writing styles, so it's fun to compare us.
We started on 18 April with "10 Things I Hate About You" (yep, numbers first, then letters) and will end with "Zathura". We can buy new movies for our collections, however if their slot in the alphabet has already been watched, they are put at the end of the queue and watched once it's all over.
I haven't counted how many we have, but at a guess I'd say between us we have about 300 movies. So I'm pretty sure this project is going to take us well over a year.
Part of the fun of this project is that JP hates musicals and I love them. I hate horrors and JP loves them. So there are lots of movies that we don't wanna watch but now we have too.
The project has it's financial benefits - no more dvd store hireage fees - we have to watch the next one in the queue that we own.
How can you get involved? Come to hang out with us and you'll have to watch whatevers next! It's the fun of the game. We can always tell you what's coming up, so you can make yourself available for something you wanna see, or avoid if necessary. Or you could just test your luck. LB and RC have already played this tame russian roulette game - LB had to sit through some vampire movie!
You can also read our reviews and make comments. (Remember to let me know if you wanna get JP's reviews emailed to you).
