The Cinematic Experience of Forizzer 
It is a nice surprize to see someone else keeping an updated film log of what they are seeing with ratings :) I used to rate all the films I saw out of 10 as well but I stopped doing that. But you have gone a step further than me and actually sorted all the films you have seen in a year as per rating. Nice stuff.
It’s a pain trying to remember certain films you’ve seen. It’s just a good little way of keeping organized. I used to post my films seen on some forum, but those lists got deleted so yeah, that was lame.
And I agree. After seeing a few thousand films it becomes pretty pedantic to give films ratings. The numbers are just vague indicators at how much I liked a movie. I try to expand my thoughts as frequently as possible though – that’s the way to go.
Yeah, it is difficult to go back and remember what one saw. In my early film watching days, I had a journal of what films I saw but even that was not conclusive and I never put down everything. Even now, I come across a famous film and I think I may have seen it but I have no evidence. Things have been easier in the last 5 years when I have kept lists of all the films I have seen and in what months.
I used to rate and write about every film I saw. But eventually I could not keep up. Still, I agree that it is essential to write about a film, so I try even if it is just a few lines.
It seems you had a good TIFF catching almost all the films you had on your list? I am looking forward to seeing Once Upon a Time in Anatolia & Take Shelter.
My rating for Alps is close to yours. Was disappointed by it especially after seeing ATTENBERG and Dogtooth.
Yes, it was excellent. One of the better TIFF’s I’ve attended, but also one of the most selective. Yeah, Alps was lame, and I do really like Dogtooth. I will see Attenberg soon.
Hope you love Once Upon A Time In Anatolia and Take Shelter the way I do. :)
I hope so as well as I have been waiting to see them for a while now. I was very close to seeing Take Shelter but I could not make it and had to give my CIFF ticket away for the only show they had.
Interestingly, my ratings for a lot of films are either exact matches to yours or very close to what you have (a point off or so). For example, I have similar sentiments about Tuesday, After Christmas, Aurora, Drive, Melancholia and The Turin Horse. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I was not a fan of Super at all and could not understand the fuss.
