Coming Soon: 09/19/10 - 09/25/10

Well my work load proved to be a bit to overwhelming for a five-movie week, but this coming week is a fairly easy week and thus I should be able to fit in AT LEAST five, if not more. I've decided that from now, each month I'm going to showcase one person, be it a director, writer, actor or actress and watch a few of their movies during one week in that month. I'm NOT going to watch all of their movies, because if I enjoy said person, then I want them to be able to show back up on the blog, sometime down the line.

For September I've picked...Federico Fellini

*Amarcord (1973 - Federico Fellini)
*La Strada (1954 - Federico Fellini)
*The Nights of Cabiria (1957 - Federico Fellini)

I did a little research and those three seem to be the Fellini films that are recommended for beginners of the director and that's exactly what I am, having only seen "8 1/2" and that was a long time ago. That will leave "8 1/2", "La Dolce Vita", "Satyricon" and "Juliet of the Spirits" for later consumption in the "1001" book.

Also this week:

*Great Expectations (1946 - David Lean)
*Run Lola Run (1998 - Tom Tykwer)

I promise I'll eventually get to "The African Queen" which I've mentioned for the past two weeks. Currently, it has just been pushed back so that I can fit in "Fellini Week". I'm also planning to watch the first two "Alien" films by the end of the month, "The Sound of Music" and "Amelie".
