The Movie Review Show

*click to enlarge*

This is easily the most ambitious project I've undertaken on this site to date: 100 FEATURE-length movie reviews in just 31 days. Will I be able to keep up? Will I even finish? Will this much horror fry my brain??? You'll have to stay tuned to find out. Each day of the week has a specific theme and I'll add links to this page as I go...
