I'm Cody. I'm a writer and a movie fan.

Welcome to my yearlong project where I write about a movie that is new to me every day.

GOAL: 

To watch one new (to me) movie and write about it each day.

PARAMETERS:

• I can only watch movies I haven’t seen

  • Or movies I haven’t seen in at least 10 years

  • If I’ve seen the film more recently, it has to be a BONUS post - not the daily post

• I can watch more than one movie per day but must publish every day

FORMAT:

• Entries can be short but must include:

  • Title and date film was released

  • What I think I know about it (completed before watching)

  • Post-Viewing Thoughts

  • Favorite shot

  • Favorite scene

  • Blog data

    • Title tag

    • Genre tag (Sci-Fi, Noir, Action, Horror)

    • Month watched tag (02/23)

• Extras to include when I want

  • What movies have drawn influence from it
