Hello, chums, and welcome back to The 300, a recurring feature on my attempt to see 300 movies in theaters in 2018. I’ll be watching new releases, classics, and hidden gems as a way to explore the wide world of cinema in all of its wonderful variety. Hopefully you’ll find something worth watching as well.
As always, there are three rules for The 300:
- The movie must be at least 40 minutes long, meeting the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ definition of a feature film.
- I must watch the movie at a movie theater, screening room, or outdoor screening venue.
- While I can watch movies I’ve seen before 2018, I cannot count repeated viewings of the same film in 2018 multiple times.
I am currently in the Hudson Valley rather than New York City. While it’s been good getting away for a bit, I wound up watching only handful of movies. I missed a screening back in NYC because of a major subway delay, and caught only a few movies in Ulster County because I was taking care of some other stuff up here.
Next week will also be slower than usual because of travel plans. If anything, the last half of March will be me playing catch up. A few of those catch-up movies will be at The Inaugural Dr. Saul and Dorothy Kit Film Noir Festival, which runs from Wednesday, March 21 to Sunday, March, 25. Eight films will be shown at the Lenfest Center for the Arts, a new screening venue associated with Columbia University. Most of the films will be presented in 35mm.
And so, onward.
