Hey there, gang, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my artsy-fartsy 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 ought to be something each week that you can 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.
A very light week this week, but will be back to a more regular schedule in the next installment of The 300. I have my eyes on a few movies at the forthcoming New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF) and the Japan Cuts Film Festival, both of which comprise one of the biggest showcases of Asian films in the United States.
Now that summer is in full swing, that also means free movies in public parks. I hope to catch a few at Bryant Park as well as Socrates Sculpture Park before the summer is done.
And so, onward.
