Welcome to 2007 April 10, 2008
Posted by badblokebob in : Editorials, 5 stars, 2007, silent films , trackbackIn lieu of having any new reviews to post right now (there are some films I really need to watch for my course, however, so expect some to start appearing soon), I’ve finally begun to post the films from 2007’s quest onto this blog. They’re all formatted to fit the style here (rather than the old compendium format) and are interspersed with editorials (i.e. what used to be introductions). Today I’ve added my first 25 reviews, as well as the three ‘editorials’ that were around them.
Every time I put a new batch on I’ll be posting an entry like this one, with Handy Links for those who may have missed things first time round. Below is an alphabetical list of today’s additions. Notable films in this lot include my first five-star review, my second five-star review, and the first four silent films I reviewed: two very famous ones by F.W. Murnau, 1922’s Nosferatu and 1927’s Sunrise; 1927 romcom It; and, ahead of this Saturday’s visit to Pompeii by the good Doctor, a 1913 silent version of those events in The Last Days of Pompeii.
