So if you haven't gotten the gist of my blog yet, I am going through the entire Criterion collection in one year according to spine numbers. I will not be doing them in order nor will I always link the movies by genre. I will also watch any Criterion films that come out during the upcoming year and even films that are no longer on the list (i.e. Woo's The Killer).
My reasons for doing this blog is to let everyone know of great movies without treating the reader like they're dumb. I'm a film student at CBU and everything I come across is either dumbed down or extremely academic. I don't think man is that dumb, people without "academic" film knowledge generally know when they are watching something of value. I will write a review on each film so that anyone can get the general idea of what the films about and if it's up their alley. This will be a chronicling of the entire Criterion catalog so that anyone can enjoy.
And if you have Netflix or Hulu plus please follow along, I will make note of those that are instant watch!
Please also note that if you plan to buy Criterion, please buy through my blog's Amazon links because a.) It's cheaper and b.) I get a cut which makes my viewing easier. Let's keep in mind, Criterion is almost never cheap and sometimes impossible to find. So
