Movies I’ve Seen – 2012

Well hello…I could tell you where I’ve seen every movie I’ve, well, ever seen. However as I grow older and movies get remade I want to make sure I’m keeping it all straight. So starting today (1/1/2012) I’m going to keep a list of the movies I see.

Prefer your reviews alphabetically and easy to find?  I don’t blame you 🙂  For my A-Z movie page listing 1,200+ reviews, click here.

Keep checking back here to see this as it grows…and grows…and grows.
