Monday Movie Blog

Happy 2011! With the new year I'm launching several new ideas. The first I am implementing today and it is the Monday Movie Blog. The Friday Music Blogs are huge hits so I wanted to extend the idea to cap the weekend with a movie blog. Last year when I posted a movie topic we had record responses so I know movies are important to a lot of you.
To keep the topics fresh I am guaranteeing no repeats for the next six months of Mondays. We are starting today with movies that begin with the letter "A". This includes the articles "a" and "an" but is not limited to those titles. Any movie that begins with an "a" word is allowed. The purpose of the blog is to inform people of your favorite movies. It's intent is not to have you create a long list of movies you have never watched simply because the name fits the category; just list the movies you've seen and enjoyed that fit the focus. If time permits, post a blurb about who is in the movie and why you liked it so much. My husband and I are always looking for movies we haven't seen when searching Netflix, but don't want to waste our time with duds. Compiling these lists week after week will help us all seek out movies we'd like to add to our "queue" while giving us a forum to rave about our personal favorites. Won't you leave your selections today and each week?
I'm absolutely thrilled to continue "Chief 187 Chatter" in 2011 and am dedicated to making this new year one of great health (mental and physical), intensity, honesty, introspection, and a ton of FUN!
Let me know how you think I am doing, if you like the new blog ideas (i.e. today's Monday Movie Blog), and anything else on your mind. I've always wanted my blog to be an interactive one. Please feel free to leave your comments!
Now, get on with leaving your favorite movies that begin with the letter "A"!

  5. A Soldier's Story o- worth checking out!
    A Few Good Men - one of the few movies where Tom Cruise is not 'Tom Cruise' and Demi Moore isn't a sex object. Great story line, well acted, a lot of star power, and the coolest Jack Nicholson ever!
