the 2017 movie challenge

This is the second year of the Great Movie-A-Week Challenge by sladkoezhik!

I finished the 2016 challenge: HERE and I really got out of my comfort zone a few times: I watched an Indian and an Asian movie, and even a silent one; I discovered a new favorite director, Douglas Sirk, and two new fave movies, Tess by Polanski and In the Mood for Love by Wong Kar-wai, and a mindblowing Moon landing documentary For All Mankind; and I had fun time writing all too few reviews.

The rules are simple:
• watch a movie that matches one of the 52 challenge items
• post a review; or group a few reviews in one post whenever you feel like it
• your interpretation of the challenge items can be as creative as you like; go wild!

The whole idea is to get out of your comfort zone and to make new discoveries. Join in!

the 2017 book challenge

A twin of the movie challenge from HERE.

I'm not sure this is going to happen because I'm not very good at reading when I have to read. So, I will read whatever I'm feeling like and see if it checks any of the boxes.

Also, peripety gave me this beauty for Christmas and now I'm all eager to scratch the classics off in 2017.

the 2017 sci-fi and fantasy challenge

This sci-fi and fantasy challenge, on the contrary, is absolutely going to happen. The best thing is that this can be a book, a tv show or a movie unless specified otherwise.

[The original idea is from HERE].

scrapbook 2017

• In 2016, I read ~20,000 pages in 69 books and watched ~220 movies and seasons of TV shows. My scrapbook was HERE.
• I did a summer Colin Firth movie marathon of ~30 flicks which was a total blast though I'm still to post about it.
• I finished this movie-a-week challenge, though unlike peripety, I was bad and didn't write reviews for most of them.
