Conclusions.

 Dearest Readers,

For all intents and purposes, this blog is over.

I'd like to thank all the people who stopped by to take a gander and/or watch a few of the films I recommended.  It means a lot.  Thanks.

It wasn't easy.  Well, most of the time it was, but at times it was a chore.  Sometimes it was painful.  Netflix Instant has a lot to offer, but one pick everyday for a year?  What was I thinking? 

My standards were certainly challenged.  If I had to give myself a grade it would be a B or B-.  I mean, I technically recommended The River Wild.  Sowwwwy.  Overall though, I think I was able to maintain a little dignity.  (Or at least that's what I keep telling myself.)

From a personal standpoint, this blog was great in that it forced me to watch more foreign language films.  My advice to you, the reader, would be to
watch more foreign language films. 

Doing this blog was good for me.  I don't know about you, but I'm glad I did it.

I might update it at some point if an extra special movie suddenly becomes available, but it's more likely this will just remain an internet fossil.

Peace on earth,

See (Most of) These Movies or Die

#347: Barry Munday

written for the screen and directed by Chris D'Arienzo.
starring Patrick Wilson and Judy Greer.

This is not highbrow entertainment...
I mean, it's a movie about a guy who loses his balls
after being attacked by a man with a trumpet.

That being said,
Patrick Wilson's portrayal of Barry the douchebag
is Grade A.
And Judy Greer is a comedy pro.
