Greetings *tongue click* and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my horrific attempt to watch 300 movies in theaters in the year 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, and hidden gems to experience the wide world of cinema in all its forms. With so much being watched, there should be something each week that you can also enjoy.
As always, there are three rules for The 300:
- The movie must be at least 40 minutes long, meeting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ definition of a feature film.
- I must watch the movie at a movie theater, screening room, or outdoor screening venue.
- While I can watch movies I’ve seen before 2018, I cannot count repeated viewings of the same film in 2018 multiple times.
This week was mostly new releases for once, with lots of catch-up on movies that were just released or that had slipped by. I’ll be back to the usual old, new, borrowed and blue routine for a week or two, and then will hopefully catch some movies at the 2018 New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF), which runs from June 29th through July 15th. That’ll lead into the 2018 Japan Cuts Film Festival, which runs from July 19th to 29th. This period in the summer means a massive showcase of new and classic films from all over Asia.
But hey, you’re here, and you’re family. Let’s pass the breadsticks, talk about your day at school, and why your teacher gave you a D+ on that essay you worked so hard on.
And so, onward.
