Drew’s Movie Reviews – End of Watch (2012)

Various Ramblings of a Nostalgic Italian – The Godfather (1972)

MovieRob – A Trip to the Moon (1902)

Film Miasma – The Case of the Bloody Iris (1972)

Plain, Simple Tom Reviews – Nosferatu (1922)

Rhyme and Reason – The Pianist (2002)

Drew’s Movie Reviews – E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

No Ultimate Decades Blogathon conclusion would be complete with a few words from my co-host, Kim:

Thanks everyone for joining into the Ultimate Decades Blogathon 2022. This year saw some wonderful choices and entries and it was great to read all the different choices of films that were released in a year ending with “2”. A huge thanks to my awesome co-host Drew for running this blogathon with me. It’s always a blast to do this especially when it also gives ourselves a chance to check out and/or revisit some fun films as well. Definitely looking forward to hopefully having another blogathon next year.

And with that, the Ultimate Decades Blogathon 2022 has officially concluded! I would once again like to echo Kim’s words and give a huge thanks to our participants. You are all amazing people and we appreciate your participation. And another thank you to our readers. I hope you have found a new blog or two to follow, they all deserve it. Lastly, thanks Kim for being my co-host again. I can not thank you enough for everything you do for the blogathon.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Stay weird.

Until next time, cheers!

Announcing the Ultimate Decades Blogathon 2022

Hello, friends!

With the start of the new year comes the first step towards this year’s Ultimate Decades Blogathon! That’s right, my blogathon partner Kim from Tranquil Dreams and I are once again teaming up to host our annual blogathon. Like last year, this year’s Ultimate Decades Blogathon will look at movies throughout the decades that were released with the same last digit as the current year. That means all entries for the blogathon must have been released in years that end in “2”. For example, 2012, 2002, 1992, etc.

Kim and I would love to see you participate in this blogathon. If you are interested in participating here are the details:

• Choose and review a movie (or movies) that was released in a year that ends in “2”
• Tell us in a comment or via email your selection(s) for the blogathon
• Email your entry to Kim, kim.tranquildreams@gmail.com, and me, drewt510@gmail.com, to submit it for the blogathon
• Submit your entry on or before Sunday, February 13th. However, if you need more time, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.
• The entries will be posted on our sites. If you wish to post your entry on your site as well, please tell us and we can coordinate that together.
• The blogathon will begin on Monday, February 21nd

You can add the banner that is at the top of this page to your site to show your participation. And the more the merrier! Feel free to invite others to join the blogathon as well.

Announcing the Christmas in July Blogathon 2021

Hello, friends!

With the world beginning to return to some semblance of normal, it’s time to start looking forward to an event that has been with us throughout this whole ordeal: the annual Christmas in July Blogathon!

Here is a refresher on the criteria for the blogathon: send me a Christmas-themed article for your entry. That’s really it. It can be a movie review, television special review, a list of some kind, or just about anything, as long as it relates to Christmas or the holiday season. Please have your entries sent to me by Sunday, July 11th. If you feel like you need more time, please let me know and we can work something out.

As always, we are going to invite special guests to our party! Along with your entry, include a celebrity you would like to invite to the party, particularly someone you would like to meet under the mistletoe. For example, you could invite the beautiful English lady Emily Blunt or the handsome Australian gentleman Chris Hemsworth.

If you want to see last year’s guest list or need some inspiration of what to do for your entry, check out last year’s summary. To let me know you are participating, leave a comment or send me an email at drewt510@gmail.com. Then send your entry to that email address by July 11th.  I can’t wait to see your entries!

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Stay weird.

Until next time, cheers!

Ultimate Decades Blogathon 2021 Conclusion

Hello, friends!

I hope you enjoyed the new format of the blogathon. While Kim and I had fun looking at everyone’s picks for their favorite films from a spotlight decade, we wanted to shake things up a big after covering 50 years of film. Switching to a format that spans decades opens up for many more possibilities. Our participants did not disappoint! We had films reviewed that were released just one decade ago all the way up to 10 decades ago! Here is the full list of participants and entries for the sixth annual Ultimate Decades Blogathon:

Drew’s Movie Reviews – Bridesmaids (2011)

Tranquil Dreams – Spirited Away (2001)

 Plain, Simple Tom Reviews – The Kid (1921)

MovieRob – The Maltese Falcon (1931)

Movies and Tea – The Devil’s Backbone (2001)

18 Cinema Lane – The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)

Often Off Topic – Through the Decades (1971 – 2011)

Starry Traveler’s Road – Shrek (2001)

Tranquil Dreams – Fight Back to School (1991)

Drew’s Movie Reviews – The Cannonball Run (1981)

Apparently 2001 is popular amongst our participants! I encourage you to read any of the posts you missed. They were truly some great entries this year. Before we officially conclude, here’s a few words from my co-host:

In a blink of an eye, the sixth annual Ultimate Decades Blogathon has come to end! This year was pretty special for us as we took the step to change up the format from the previous one which opened up a variety of choices through the decades which also triggers some interesting entries surprisingly spanning back to the 1920s and 1930s, decades that are rather unfamiliar for myself. With that said, a huge thank you to all of the participants and their wonderful reviews as well as anyone who dropped by to read, commented and liked the posts as well as a big thank you for my awesome co-host Drew. Its always a ton of fun to do the blogathon and hopefully next year, we will see you all again for another blogathon hosted by myself and Drew. Finally, in these crazy times, take care and stay safe!

With those words, the Ultimate Decades Blogathon 2021 has officially concluded! Thanks again to all of the participants and your enthusiasm. This blogathon is always a blast to put together and see what you all come up with. Another thank you to Kim, you are such a wonderful co-host and I thank you for working with me every year to put this together. And finally, a thank you to all you readers. There wouldn’t be a blogathon without people to enjoy the content. Hopefully you found a new blog or two to follow.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Stay weird.

Until next time, cheers!

Announcing the Ultimate Decades Blogathon 2021

Hello, friends!

I hope you are well. It’s the start of a new year, which means the Ultimate Decades Blogathon is just around the corner! Not even a pandemic can stop the blogathon hosted by Kim, aka Tranquil Dreams, and me annually. If you’ve been following previous Ultimate Decades Blogathons, you’ll know that they’ve covered the 70s, 80s, 90, 00s, and 10s. This year, Kim and I have decided to change the format slightly for our sixth outing hosting the blogathon. Rather than focusing on a specific decade like previous years, this year’s Ultimate Decades Blogathon will instead focus on films released in years that end in “1.” For example, 2011, 2001, 1991, etc.

If this format sounds familiar, it’s because the Decades Blogathon that was hosted by Tom and Three Rows Back for several years followed this same theme. With Tom’s blessing, Kim and I have adopted the theme for our blogathon. After five great years with the previous theme, we were looking for ways to add a fresh twist to our annual blogathon.

Kim and I would love to see you participate in this blogathon. If you are interested in participating here are the details:

• Choose and review a movie (or movies) that was released in a year that ends in “1”
• Tell us in a comment or via email your selection(s) for the blogathon
• Email your entry to Kim, kim.tranquildreams@gmail.com, and/or me, drewt510@gmail.com to submit it for the blogathon
• Submit your entry before Monday, February 15th. However, if you need more time, please let us know so we can plan accordingly.
• The entries will be posted on our sites. If you wish to post your entry on your site as well, please tell us and we can coordinate that together.
• The blogathon will begin on Monday, February 22nd

You can add the banner that is at the top of this page to your site to show your participation. And the more the merrier! Feel free to invite others to join the blogathon as well. Use the tag #UltimateDecadesBlogathon on Twitter to help us promote the blogathon. We can’t wait to see everyone’s submissions. 🙂

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Stay weird.

Until next time, cheers!

Announcing the Christmas in July Blogathon 2020

Hello friends!

Guess what time it is. It’s Christmas in July time!

Let’s party!

I’m sure many of you know by now how this works but for those of you who don’t here are the details: send me a Christmas-themed article for your entry. That’s really it. It can be a movie review, television special review, a list of some kind, or just about anything, as long as it relates to Christmas or the holiday season. Please have your entries sent to me by Sunday, July 13th. If you feel like you need more time, please let me know and we can work something out.

And of course what’s a party without some great guests! To make the blogathon more interesting, along with your entry, include a celebrity you would like to invite to the party, particularly someone you would like to meet under the mistletoe. For example, I might invite the blonde bombshell Marggot Robbie and someone else might invite the handsom Hawaiian Jason Momoa.

If you want to see last year’s guest list or need some inspiration of what to do for your entry, check out last year’s summary. To let me know you are participating, leave a comment or send me an email at drewt510@gmail.com. Then send your entry to that email address by July 13th.  I can’t wait to see your entries!
