Tag: The 500 Film Challenge

Started on February 7, 2011. This idea began when the writer saw that Norah Ephron film called Julie and Julia about how french cook Julia Child began her career and how Julie Powell, an american who made a blog to cook each of the 524 recipes in Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. The writer began interest in watching films when her parents took her and her twin sister to watch The Lion King when she was about two and half or three years old.

#1: Bridget Jones Diary 2: The Edge of Reason

1 January 2014 I’ve never seen this in full and so on New Year’s day, just as I was thinking that my year was going to start in a wreck, I managed to find this on HBO. This one’s not a hard one to find, but in it’s simple plot and witty dialogue about a thirty-something former Singleton being totally overwhelmed by couplehood, I find … Continue reading #1: Bridget Jones Diary 2: The Edge of Reason

The 500 Film Challenge, Year 3

I am trying to be assertive and to assert myself this year, I will not apologize to anyone. I was kidding. Although being assertive doesn’t sound that bad for me either.

I am currently suffering insomnia, so I’ve decided to update everyone about this year’s challenge.

There are a lucky few that may need my attention (and has been hanging around my Drafts list) but … Continue reading 500 Film Challenge Updates, Year Two
