I'm going to try to watch and review a new movie every day this year. By new, I mean one I haven't seen before. By every day, I mean the same number of films as days in the year. Doubling up will help me when I inevitably begin to question why I've decided to do this.

Well that is done.

I don't want to do it again, but I also really do. Every time I felt fatigued, I ended up watching trash, so there's way more one-star experiences in here than I wanted there to be, but overall, it was a good year. I uncovered many of my blind spots, and it's been good to engage with film in a way that I haven't in years. I will begin a new list for 2026, but I don't plan on hitting 365 again anytime soon.
