Tom from the second-to-none Digital Shortbread and I are jointly hosting a brand spanking new blogathon… but it can only be great if you join us!
We’re already halfway through the 2010s and we thought it would be a good time to run a blogathon focusing on movies that were released in the fifth year of the decade.
We’re calling it – originally enough – the ‘Decades’ blogathon.
Is there a film you’ve always wanted to review that was released in 1995, 1945, 1975 or the fifth year of any other decade? If so, then we’d love you to get involved. Hell, go back to 1905 if you like (I’ve already got dibs on 1985’s Back To The Future, though, sorry)!
Jaws
These blogathons are only as good as the entries they receive, so we’re looking forward to receiving some fantastic contributions.
Night Of The Hunter
So what’ll it be? Michael Mann’s Heat from 1995? Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic Jaws? The unforgettable Night Of The Hunter from 1955? The choices are huge!
We’re hoping to run the blogathon from Monday, 18 May. We’re keeping the number of entries limited to about 15 or so to stop it getting too unwieldy, so please make sure to get in touch ASAP to avoid disappointment by either dropping me an email at threerowsback@gmail.com or emailing Tom at tomlittle2011@gmail.com letting us know which film you’d like to cover (just so we don’t get duplicate posts) or for more info.
We’re both really excited to receiving your posts for what we’re hoping will be a diverse and absorbing blogathon. Thanks for reading and we hope to hear from you soon! Most importantly, though, GET INVOLVED!

Oh, what fun! I really love 1995. Do I have to choose only one? Can I pick a couple of my favorites from 1995? Or do you only want one?
Hi Cindy. Only one I’m afraid so it leaves room for others. Get back to us ASAP though as we’ve already had a few takers.
Good call Mark, I was actually not sure how you wanted to do that. But yes, I guess one apiece makes sense to maximize number of participants! Can’t wait for your entry, Cindy! 🙂
Can I have 1975, Barry Lyndon?
Of course Cindy. Do you mind dropping myself and Tom an email to that effect so we can keep a record of numbers please?

Good man. Looking forward to it.

Yep, sure have. Thanks Rob. You’re in!
Cheers Rob! Sounds great.
Let me look & I’ll get to you. Great idea for a blog argon, guys.
Cheers! Be quick though, we’ve already had several takers. Would love you to be involved.
Sounds good man. Look forward.
If it’s not taken, Mark/Tom, could you put me down for the Hal Ashby-Robert Towne work, SHAMPOO (1975)?
No worries mate. Do you mind sending us both an email saying as much, just so we can keep on top of who is involved? Thanks very much 🙂
I’ve gone and done that. Thanks.
Got it. Gladys have you aboard buddy.
I do not believe that has been taken — it is all yours! 🙂
Nice man! Post is going up on DSB in three. . . .two. . . one. . . .one and a half. . . one and three-quarters. . .one and seven-eighths. . .

Excellent man, be sure to let me or Mark know soon. Spots are filling fast! 😀 😀
Just sent you an email with my selection. 🙂
Totally in for this as well! Just need to email you when I get home from work tonight with my choice! 🙂
Good work Kim!
Sounds great Kim! Thank you.
Before anyone else claims it, and I can’t believe they haven’t — I choose Nolan’s Batman Begins (2005)!!! 😀 😀
Great choice!
Awesome! Like I said to Tom, definitely count me in. Should write any of you guys soon to let you know which film I’ll be reviewing! Cheers!
Cheers mate. Get your email over ASAP though if that’s ok.
I will!
Just sent it!
Just got it! Thanks Fernando.
Hey gents. I’d have participated but I’ve got a busy week or two. Sorry about that, but I will be reading, naturally!
You better! Sorry you can’t be part of it. Next time eh?
