Film Round Up for July - Sep 2011

(Originally posted on September 10th, 16:48)


Today, I was supposed to watch Soderbergh's latest film "Contagion", but due to the shortage of moolah in my pocket I have decided to be more practical and just go home and watch DVDs. Besides, I have a line up of British films to catch for my movie marathon and also there is the first season/episode of "The Killing" which I am pretty excited to watch for a few days now - especially that  Mad Men will not be back on the tube not until next year. So yes, I am home bound for my rest day. Plus, I have loads of assignments to do for my blog such as backlogs of film reviews and ratings I have failed to post. I am so behind schedule that if I don't do these task now I will board myself again on the express train of idleness without any accomplishments.

Moving on, these films have made it to my movie-watching days from July to early September of 2011 and I have graded them as follows:
