As I did last year, I plan to watch as many movies as possible this year. Along the way, I’ll be rating those movies and adding them to this list.

Last year I set out to write 100 reviews and I did so. This year I planned to focus my energy on reviewing indie movies and I’ve been fortunate to have some great films sent my way. However, since I will be writing fewer reviews, that gives me more time to watch movies and I hope that means this list will be even longer.

Any movies I write reviews for will have links to them included, if I don’t have a review I’ll link the trailer instead if I rated the movie 3.5 or higher. (They’ll open in another window.)

Always feel free to hit me on twitter at any of my pages with questions!
