Happy 2013 to all our contributors and readers! Did you complete the 50/50 challenge? Did you at least read a few books and see a few movies you might not otherwise have read or seen?
I made it to just over 50 books. WooHoo! I only made it to 34 movies. Bummer. I'll do better this year.
I plan to repeat the 50/50 challenge in 2013. I hope you'll join me. Even if you don't do the challenge, I hope you'll keep reading the blog and sharing your book and movie recommendations.
I hope you find amazing books and films in 2013!
Can a person really read 50 books and watch 50 movies in one year? I guess we'll find out!

My 50 Flicks
So, I tried at the beginning of this challenge to write a little about each of the movies I watched. Well, that seemed an overwhelming task. The thought of writing about each one seemed to take the enjoyment out of the challenge a little, not sure why. I actually like to write, but it became more challenging than the actual movie watching.
I previously watched a few movies and mentioned them in another post, but what I ended up doing is over the course of the year I just kept a list of all the new movies I watched and here now is the list. It is not in the exact order I watched them, at least not the first ones on the list, but it is the complete list. My attempt at 50 new movies in a year culminated with the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this past Saturday.
As far as reading the books, yeah, that didn't happen. I did read seven or eight over the course of the year which is pretty good for me, just ask my sister. Anyway, here is my list of 50 new movies.
1. The Hunger Games
2. Mirror Mirror
3. The Avengers
4. Step Into Liquid
5. The Tale of Despereaux
6. Rango
7. The Zookeeper
8. Scorched
9. Chaos Theory
10. That Thing You Do
11. Man on a Ledge
12. Men in Black 3
13. Burlesque
14. Snow White & the Huntsman
15. The Endless Summer
16. War Horse
17. We Bought A Zoo
18. Tower Heist
19. Rock of Ages
20. Kung Fu Panda 2
21. Hugo
22. Cars 2
23. Brave
24. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
25. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
26. This Means War
27. The Amazing Spiderman
28. Blue Crush 2
29. 16 Love
30. Ride the Divide
31. Xanadu
32. Highwater
33. The Dark Knight Rises
34. Double Dare
35. The Bourne Legacy
36. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
