My Mission....

Hello!
My name is Mandy. And I have a mission, a mission to watch 365 movies that I have not watched before, in 365 days. Does this sound familiar? Well, you may have heard a similar story from a movie called Julie&Julia staring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. I got my inspiration from that movie. You see in Julie&Julia Amy Adams character decides that she needs to "do something" with her life, and when she finds out that one of her very successful friends has started writing a blog about her fabulous life, she declares that she could write a blog, because "she has thoughts". But she doesn't know what to write about, and her husband suggests that she writes about cooking, since that is what seems to help her to relax, and interests her. She retorts by saying shes not a "real cook, like Julia Child or Mario Batali,", but if she really wanted to write a blog she could cook her way through Julia Child's cookbook and write about that. She gives herself a deadline: One year.

Ok, so heres my story. I am in a place in my life that I feel like I have no idea what to do with it. I have no real career, no romantic life, and I have cats. I wanted to give myself something to look forward too. I am not a very good cook, so cooking my way through Julia Child's cookbook, is not really an option for me. But what I do love, is movies. To me a good movie is like a beautiful piece of art. I drive friends and family crazy with constant quoting and trivia about movies. So this is what I decided to do: watch 365 movies that I have NOT seen before in 365 days, and then write about them on my blog.

Now, you're probably thinking, "What's so special about that? Anyone can be a couch potatoe and watch a movie," That is true. I am not claiming to be doing anything special, my blog won't be turned into a movie, and that's ok, I just want to write about movies, and have fun watching them.  So here I go....
