My
dad always maintained a wacky sense of humor, sometimes calculated and
other times unintentional. He was not afraid to divulge a story or
admit a shortcoming on himself. Such an admission which came into play
on several occasions had to do with his voracious appetite for reading.
In his later years he was especially fond of western paperback books by
Louis l' Amour and Zane Grey, who collectively wrote more than 175
novels, plus countless short stories. Other than fishing, reading these
stories was the old man's favorite pastime. There were familiar,
repeated themes: a lonesome cowpoke riding his faithful horse across the
high desert plains; a hero rescuing a lovely maiden from the black
hatted mean guys who were trying to steal her cattle; the reformed tough
hombre who used to run afoul of the law but was trying to turn over a
new leaf; the quick draw who was the town's only hope to keep a
murderous gang from running rampant; a friend of the Indians who helped
them battle exploitation at the hands of dishonest white men.
Because of the similarities among the books, my dad often unintentionally read the same book more than once. Sometimes he'd get about two-thirds of the way through, or possibly all the way through, before realizing he'd already completed it months, or even mere weeks, before. I always thought it was admirable that he'd tell us of his mistake, instead of simply shelving the book or returning it to the library. We'd get a large collective laugh out of his blunder. [True Confession, following in my father's footsteps: The same thing happened to me with Scott Turow's 1987 legal thriller, Presumed Innocent. There is a unique plot twist which occurs in the last quarter of the novel. It wasn't until I reached that point that I realized I'd read it before!]

I believe I have now reached the point with my movie viewing where I find myself in a predicament not all that different from the Marquis'. When I see a movie scheduled on the on-screen guide, I am not
always sure whether or not I've seen it before. It wouldn't be the end
of the world if I unwittingly watched a film twice. Some films almost command multiple viewings. But, there are so
many good movies available that, unless I make a conscious decision to do otherwise, I'd prefer not to re-watch one at the expense of a chance to view a different, unseen one. With that in mind I sent my
crack research team into the vault to make a list of the movies I have seen since my September 2007 retirement.
As
I explained in my introductory post on December 6, 2011, I started
blogging as kind of a "next step" beyond writing movie reviews which I had been
e-mailing to my kids. The earliest e-mailed movie review my research
team can find goes back to November 8, 2007, approximately four years
before I started The Quentin Chronicle. During that four year span, I
wrote short reviews of 121 new movies I watched at the theater. I also drafted six bi-monthly "Cinema Scans," comprised of 54 movies which I watched at the Quentin Estates during calendar year 2011. (Those bi-monthly Cinema Scans, which contain brief descriptions and grades but not reviews, were the genesis of the nineteen Quarterly Cinema Scans which I have posted here since the inception of this blog.) Finally, I also e-mailed my kids three annual Movie Ratings Recaps, the first of which was sent January 13, 2009. (Those MRRs were the genesis of the five MRRs which I have posted here since the inception of this blog.) When I put together that first MRR in 2009, I included (as a bonus!) grades for 4 other films I had recently watched on TV; this was before I started the Cinema Scan format in 2011.
As you can see, that's a lot of post-retirement/pre-blog movies -- 179, to be exact. Writing about them has been a blessing and a curse. The reasons for labeling the writing regimen "a blessing" are fairly obvious, e.g., mind sharpening, a correspondence topic, creating a lasting personal memory of the work of art which many films purport to be, etc. In some ways it's a curse too because, similar to a jogger who feels guilty if she doesn't get her three miles in at least five days a week, I am disinclined to go to a movie if I have not yet written a review for the last one I attended. Obviously, when you consider how few people actually read what I write, the feeling of guilt over such a circumstance is part pathetic and part ludicrous. (Would this kind of guilt trip be present if I hadn't been educated by the good sisters in my youth? Good question; but, I digress...)
My original intention was to make one alphabetical master list of all the movies I've reviewed and/or graded both pre-blog and on this blog, and post that list today, October 12. I chose Columbus Day intentionally as a way to pay homage to my dad. Alas, a recent three week trip to Europe followed by the irresistible temptation to watch a plethora of televised baseball playoff games have derailed full execution of my plans. But, what I am going to post today is an alphabetical list of the 179 pre-blog movies to which I referred above. Then, at some future date, perhaps Columbus Day 2017 or 2018, I will put my comprehensive master list together. After that I'll have no excuse for unintentionally re-watching a movie. Time is money, to coin a phrase. Of course, aside from my selfish aforementioned motive, I hope some of you will use the list to select or avoid, as the case may be, movies for your viewing pleasure.
In the interest of time I am only listing the films' titles, usually one actor, and the genres. With respect to the 121 movies I reviewed, I'll include the date of my related e-mail, preceded by a capital E for "e-mail." That will give you an idea of their approximate release dates. With respect to the 54 movies included in the six pre-blog Cinema Scans and the 4 bonus movies added to my initial pre-blog MRR, I'll indicate the year of their release preceded by a capital CS for "cinema scan" or RR for "ratings recap." Instead of alphabetizing all the movies in one chunk, I have segregated them by my letter grade ranking. You can refer to my January 12, 2012 post if you have a question about my grading methodology. Finally (almost), I am sticking the following sentence in here because of my expectation that few people will see it. If you are registered as a follower of this blog and would like me to send you a copy of any of my e-mailed reviews (due to laziness, a maximum of five), let me know by the end of this calendar year and I will do so.
