Johncox88’s Film Club 2010

View Comments

Hello and welcome to my film club!

In 2010, we (me) will embark on a journey through some of cinema’s greatest masterpieces, covering every possible genre and era of film-making!

The films will have a different theme each month but the styles and plots of each film should vary enough so you don’t get sick of the theme halfway through the month.

To watch these films, I would recommend signing up to some sort of mail-order rental service (e.g. LoveFilm) as you can usually get some pretty hefty free trials for them. They tend to have pretty substantial collections aswell so you shouldn’t have a problem finding most of the films there.

I’ll post at the end of each week with my thoughts of the films, to which you can leave comments. And I’ll possibly do video reviews at the end of each month.

None of you care, but I don’t care, so there.
