For this, I have only watched three so far (Snow White, Hercules and Moana). This will be an easy fix though as I plan to watch a lot during Summer. With a Marvel marathon due, I don't have time to commit right now to the Disney marathon. I will make sure to achieve this by the end of the year though.
2. Watch movies from 10 different countries.
So far, I am on track with this one with three films (Blue is the Warmest Colour/France, Nymphomaniac/Sweden and Veronica/Spain). I am staying safe with European choices so I want to break away from this in the next quarter. This could include Japan with a Studio Ghibli film, or venturing into Bollywood films in India.
3. Go to the cinema to watch 40 unique films.

4. Watch the equivalent of 1 new film a day (365 films in total)
This is the one I was overly ambitious on. As of right now I have seen 33 unique films, and a total of 45 films. That is roughly one film every 2 days, and one new film every 3 days. Instead of trying to watch a completely new film every day, I hope to have seen one film every two days. It could be a repeat, and I would prefer most of them to be new, but I think one every two days is a good aim to have.
5. Watch at least 50 of the IMDb Top 100 Greatest Movies of All Time
The IMDB list is always altering and changing, so for this I am going for the list that was set at the end of December 2017. So far, in this year I have seen only five of the films on the list. However, a lot of them will fit into other bucket list items such as Disney, foreign language films or Studio Ghibli, so I should get a few more ticked off by the next quarter.
6. Attend 3 midnight premiere screening
This one will not happen. I have not gone to any yet, and if I am not seeing Infinity War at a midnight screening, then I am not going to see any movie this year at a midnight premiere screening. This one is going to be changed to something which is much more realistic, and that is a Cineworld Unlimited screening. If you don't know what that is, it is essentially where Unlimited cardholders get to see a movie weeks before it is officially released in the UK. I have seen one film this year in that format (Ready Player One) and I plan to go and see more when they fit into my schedule.
7. Attend a VIP, IMAX, 4DX and SuperScreen showing in cinemas
Out of this list, I have done two. I went to see Black Panther in 3D 4DX, and whilst I was in Glasgow to see Ready Player One on SuperScreen. I did not know how big the SuperScreen would be, but wow it is amazing. Supported by Dolby Atmos surround sound, the experience was absolutely fantastic. I will be back in Glasgow in July so hopefully I can experience the VIP cinema trip next time I am there.
8. Watch every Studio Ghibli film

Some are getting on really well, and some not so much. I am also really pleased at my blogging resolution. Sure, I have had to change the days of my schedule, and I may have missed a blog post or two, but I am finding my self to be more consistent and passionate about my blogging. I really hope to keep this up for many more months to come.
Until Wednesday, that was some film for thought.
