Once again, I will keep a watchlist of all the films I watch during my summer break. If you guys want, you can see what I watch all year long on Mubi, right here, mubi.com/lists/2013-a-years-worth-of-film
I thought about not doing this this year, but I simply can't bring myself to not do it again. Check for the reviews of these films in the "Steve's Reviews" section of this website.
* = Indicates I didn't watch that film on the said date, but had enough knowledge where I could write an efficient review on it. The film will not count towards the "Overall Month Rating" or the "Overall Summer Rating," due to the fact it wasn't really watched.
** = Watched, but will not produce a review of it (applies to short films and most comedy specials). Those films will NOT be averaged in with the "Overall Month Rating" or the "Overall Summer Rating."
NOTE I:[/u] If you've forgotten how the event will be conducted, refer back to the original "Summer Diaries" page, stevethemovieman.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=events&action=display&thread=1860&page=1 or the "Summer Diaries: Part II" page, stevethemovieman.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=events&thread=3107&page=1
