My name is Robert Jay Moore. I am a senior graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in Theatre and a minor in Film Studies. I love everything about films, from their conception to their dvd release.

After I graduate this year, I will be working to save up money to get an MFA in Screenwriting. I am afraid, however, that while I am working at an everyday, unimaginative job, I will lose the momentum that my academic studies have created. I don't want to give up my dream while I settle for a brief term of monotony, so for that reason, I have decided to embark on an ambitious quest.

Starting the day after I graduate from college, I will watch 500 movies in 365 days. That's right, 500 movies in one year. And for each movie, I will write a review/analysis of it on this blog for you, my wonderful reader, to enjoy, debate, tear apart, what have you.

When you read the reviews I write on this blog, I will break my posts up into categories. Genre of movie, and method of viewing. Genre should be self-explanatory, and will hopefully help you narrow down your search if you are looking for a review of a movie to watch immediately. Method of viewing will sort the films into how they are currently viewed. I work as a projectionist in a small theater, so I am frequently able to watch movies for free while they are in theaters. These will be denoted by the "Currently Playing" label. Occasionally, I am able to procure advanced screenings of films, whether it be for the higher-ups in the theatre to preview a movie, or whether I'm just checking the print for scratches, dust, etc. These will be labeled as "Special Preview." I also have a subscription to Netflix (which I highly recommend to any fellow film lover) so those movies will be labeled either "Netflix DVD," or "Netflix Instant." Finally, there will occasionally be films from my "Personal Collection" and other "MISC" sources.

Again, I will not start my official endeavor until May 16, 2010. Until then, I will warm up by writing on all the movies I see. I look forward to sharing this adventure with anyone who is willing to read it!
