For several months, I've felt that I have a deficiency in the realm of crime films. I have seen many, but I have gaping holes in my repertoire... for example, I have never seen "Silence of the Lambs" or "Serpico." Don't even get me started on "The Godfather" (any of them). So, to rectify this travesty, I had an idea earlier this month that I would watch crime movies and blog about them... reviews plus my thoughts on their relevance and critique of the criminal justice system. I decided to review 52 movies over the course of a year, which is about one a week. I would obviously have to play a bit of catch-up, but that's the plan.
Anyway, I hope you choose to join me on this adventure. I'll be watching classics, new favorites, and everything in between. I am anticipating copious amounts of popcorn consumption and a great dialogue on the American experience (and social changes) relating to the criminal justice system. I'll add noteworthy points, such as awards won, when appropriate.
So as they say in the movie business... lights, camera, ACTION!

Awesome idea! What's the first movie?
I dunno how I followed you, but I did it. I just want to comment on your blog! #1 SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
That will be on here, but not number 1. I have to catch up with 6 movies... so they'll have to be ones I probably own. Netflix isn't that fast :)
