It Started With An Elephant...

So it's been 31 days since this project began. It was a journey to say the least - and it lived up to my expectations. Some days it felt like a chore, and others it was a thrill. I broke the project down according to my movie calendar - here are the results:

So that about does it. May 2010 is about to end, and with it so does M.M.O.M. I've seen some movies that I have absolutely loved...and others that I have hated. It's been fun. I'm going to keep this blog going as a movie review place - and who knows, down the road, maybe there will be another month that looks like it needs some excitement. For right now though, I don't know. Eh, I guess I'll go watch a movie. Peace!
