The Good Movies EpiGuide 2 - Return of the Write Off!
Oct 09 '08 (Updated Dec 08 '08)
The Bottom Line The Good Movies Write Off returns. We beat last year's total entries!
So far: 36 entrants, 215 entries!
About a year ago, I hosted The Good Movies Write Off, for all movies that were worth a 4 or 5 star rating in the eyes of whoever was reviewing it. Well, I think it's time for a sequel, so I present for your viewing enjoyment:
The Good Movies EpiGuide 2 - Return of the Write Off!
Same rules - nice and simple, all movies (including documentaries and movie double / triple packs if you want) are eligible, as long as you rate them 4 or 5 stars. No doubt I'll agree with some entries and disagree with others - but who cares? If it's a good movie in the eye of the beholder, it's going on the list.
Last year this WO got a grand total of 148 entries from 37 different entrants. It would be great if we could beat that this year... 2007's most prolific entrants were Dragonfire88 with 25 entries, Stephen_Murray with 20, Wychic with 16 and myself with 14 entries. AnderClayton wins a special award for allowing himself to be dragged back into reviewing after a very long hiatus (how about using this WO as motivation for posting your 50th review finally, Ander?!?!?)
I've got a few good movies lined up for review soon, including Young Frankenstein and The Painted Veil... expect those and more soon, plus a plethora of reviews from various other Epinionators!
"Do you know what a plethoria is, Miguel?"
First person to name that quote gets a 100% authentic invisible straw hat. [Competition Ended - Artemis8 wins this entirely pointless little compo and is now the proud owner of a 100% authentic invisible straw hat. Try not to be too jealous.]
What You Need To Know...
You can link back to this page if you want, but there's no obligation to do so.
Any year of release, any genre.
Direct to DVD movies / TV movies are fine (if you can find any good ones!)
You can include a review of a film that someone else has already put on the list.
Please leave a comment with your entry (Film Title AND Link) or email them to me. I'll update as quickly as I can.
The write off is open from 9th October up to 30th November.
**UPDATE** - retrospective entries from 1st October are allowed, since I really intended to do this from that date but forgot!!
A Request
If you know anyone who would likely be interested in this write off, please tell them about it. I'd like to beat 200 entries this year! (I know, it's a completely meaningless, arbitrary figure... but I want to do it nonetheless!!)
