A to Z UNSEEN MOVIE MARATHON (2017)
A few years ago, I embarked on a fun movie marathon that spanned the alphabet from A-Z. It worked like this:
1. All of the films were unseen to me.
2. I watched a movie each day for 26 days, starting with A and ending worth Z.
3. Each day I provided a few thoughts about the flick, a couple fun tidbits about it, an image/poster, and a trailer.
4. I rate each selection on a */10 scale.
All this said, I’M DOING IT AGAIN. This time around it will be 27 movies, with a numerically titled film to start (that’s how I sort my library).

The list began on August 31st, 2017. A new movie will be added daily (ending around September 26th).
DAY 1 – 13 MOONS
Without further ado, the first film in my 2017 UNSEEN MOVIE MARATHON is Alexandre Rockwell’s 13 MOONS (2002). Starring Steve Buscemi, a very young role for Peter Dinklage, and a cavalcade of familiar faces, the movie was a wild no-budget ensemble piece that really wanted to bridge the director’s indie works with something like Paul Thomas Anderson’s early offerings.
6/10
Apparently there is no trailer to be found for this film, so instead I give you the opening scene which establishes the rest of this bonkers move rather well. Enjoy…
