A pile of nickels

I just wanted to take a few moments and update the status of this blog.  I'm trying to make it to 100 films by December 31, 2010.  It's been pretty difficult, but I feel like I can make it happen.  A lot of this is due to my friends who have been reading my posts and encouraging me to continue (thanks, guys!), even when I'm sure my incessant talking about things like Robert Mitchum singing or Tony Curtis impersonating Cary Grant or how fantastic Katharine Hepburn was is probably getting on their nerves. 

I've been trying to come up with ways to make this blog more interesting, so I'm in the process of adding a few things.  First are taglines for each review.  I'm only doing this because before each entry, I usually tell my co-worker Catherine about a movie I've just watched and wind up giving her a very brief, and usually silly, overview.  So you'll notice a few of these one-line descriptions, all meant in fun.  I'm also working on a session about Meaningful Films, where anyone can write about a film that has impacted his or her life.  So thanks for reading so far, and I hope you'll join me as I push on towards 100.
