How it works

This is a sample of some of our movies, waiting to be watched.

At the moment we see how we feel on the night and go with it. The guy who wrote the book that inspired our blogging adventure used a mini-bingo machine he got on eBay - we haven't gone that far yet! Although I was looking longingly at a bingo machine in Kmart!

We may also be about to embark on a far more innovative approach to selecting the pics since one of our cats, Anya, has started sleeping next to the movies, then waking up and licking one or two cases. We don't know why, but why not!?!

We've also devised a scoring system, we'll rate each out of 10 across the following dimensions; script, story/plot, direction, photography, acting, soundtrack, relevance/social context, emotional response, did it make you think and entertainment value. We also make notes on best and worst actors, whether or not we think it deserved to win against that years contenders and the most memorable moments.

So now you know how it works, we'll post our reviews to date; Patton, It Happened One Night, Rebecca, Lawrence of Arabia, The Silence of the Lambs, The Godfather Part I and we'll see what Anya comes up with next!
