1.1 ~ Week 1: Inception

Yesterday, I was bored. When I am bored, I hatch hare-brained schemes that hardly ever reach fruition because I bore myself before I'm halfway done. But in any case, here I am again, on a quest to enrich my being while fundamentally wasting time.

Who am I, you ask? My name is Desiree, and I am a great many things. I am a wife, an insurance agent, a freelance photographer, a Miami-an born and raised, and apparently I am deprived. My husband constantly is shocked at how though I can tell you about some pretty obscure films, there are many basic movies that no person should live without seeing that I have unknowingly missed.

Who's never seen "The Godfather"? Me.

"Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom"? Nope.

"Star Wars", for Christ's Sake?!

Not me.



Who'da thunk these were so important? Well, apparently LOTS of people.

So, in order to bring myself up to speed and maybe learn something about the world around me and what makes it tick, I have armed myself with this nifty list of "101 movies everyone should see", a brand new netflix membership, and this blog.

My goal is to spend the next year (that's 52 weeks, including this one) watching movies, writing about them and reflecting on why they were important to me, IF they were important to me, and why I gather the world finds them so important that they made a LIST!

So, off I go. Next time you hear from me, I'll be reviewing the first movie on my list, 12 Angry Men.
