First of I'd like to say that even though I didn't manage to see 30 films in 30 days, I cannot consider this a failed attempt. It took me 51 days, but I watched some excellent films I really enjoyed, so yay for that! (Look, I've transformed into a positive thinker)
the highlights:
Brothers Bloom
Volver
Volver
The Big Lebowski
Hanna
Hanna
My Neighboor Totoro
Despicable me (LIGHTBAAAAALB)
Norwegian Wood
disappointing ones:
16 Candles ( the acting..wow.)
Crazy, Stupid, Love (it only got funny at the end.)
American Beauty (creepier than I had expected)
Overall I'm really happy I did this. I only wish I'd managed to find other films I wanted to see, rather than some silly ones like "How do you know?" (which other than Jack Nicholson had nothing to offer). Regardless, I'm compensating tonight by watching Vivre Sa Vie as a preparation for my French exam tomorrow :)
