See The Sun

A challenge of watching 100 movies each year.

Disclaimer: I am rating all of the films here on the basis of my personal viewing experience and the entertainment value. I may not apply exactly the same criterias to all of them - I am unable to do that - but I will give my best to be objective and not overrate some films because they feature favourite actors/actresses. I got the idea from Riikka and Mycah and have started late, so I was not including January - March 2007.

Rules:
• Can include cinema, DVD or on TV
• Can enter (write down) a film that I have seen previous to 2007 but watched again this year
• Cannot enter (write down) a film twice

Star Ratings:
~ Worst ***** Best
I got tired of my rating definitions. Most of the times they were not true anyway. So, I give the films as many stars as I feel they deserve. I try to add&rate the films right after watching them - so the rating best reflects the feeling I had during the view. Positive aspects may be the top-notch acting and the well-developed script, the overall entertainment value or even great visuals, soundtrack & editing etc.
