Now that we're very close to the end of 2012, I decided to re-check my 2012 resolutions that I set at the very beginning of the year. Here they are, plus my FAIL/SUCCESS markings.
1. Watch at least 150 movies- FAIL 125 movies seen
2. Out of those 150, at least 60 will have been released before 2010- SUCCESS 60 before 2010 :)
3. At least 15 will be foreign movies- SUCCESS 15 foreign films seen :)
4. Review or summarize/write about every movie I see- SUCCESS I have a 90% rate, that qualifies for green, right?
5. Do 2 marathons based on a director's portfolio- SUCCESS I did, on Coen brothers and a little bit on Paul Thomas Anderson and Cronenberg
6. Mantain my 18 posts/month for the blog- FAIL, especially during the second part of the year
7. Have more then 20.000 views by the end of the year 2012- SUCCESS just surpassed 50.000
8. Rely less on piracy and more on cinema and festival viewings- SUCCESS, although I can definitely do better
9. Improve my writing (Longer reviews, with more depth and a better vocabulary)- SUCCESS i really do think I have improved, but you are the best judge to that
10. Diversity for the blog posts (more essays, special features, monthly round-up etc)- FAIL I need to work on this one
I am happy to see so many SUCCESS marks and I hope next year I can say the same! Check back tomorrow for my 2013 resolutions!
Until then, I wish you a fantastic New Year, full of happiness, accomplishments and fun times!
p.s. Did you have resolutions? how many did you tick off?
