A few years ago, I embarked on a fun movie marathon that spanned the alphabet from A-Z. It worked like this:
1. All of the films were unseen to me.
2. I watched a movie each day for 26 days, starting with A and ending worth Z.
3. Each day I provided a few thoughts about the flick, a couple fun tidbits about it, an image/poster, and a trailer.
4. I rate each selection on a */10 scale.
All this said, I’M DOING IT AGAIN. This time around it will be 27 movies, with a numerically titled film to start (that’s how I sort my library).

The list began on August 31st, 2017. A new movie will be added daily (ending around September 26th).
DAY 1 – 13 MOONS
Without further ado, the first film in my 2017 UNSEEN MOVIE MARATHON is Alexandre Rockwell’s 13 MOONS (2002). Starring Steve Buscemi, a very young role for Peter Dinklage, and a cavalcade of familiar faces, the movie was a wild no-budget ensemble piece that really wanted to bridge the director’s indie works with something like Paul Thomas Anderson’s early offerings.
6/10
Apparently there is no trailer to be found for this film, so instead I give you the opening scene which establishes the rest of this bonkers move rather well. Enjoy…
Glad to hear that it is as good as the trailer made it out to be! It was already on my list of must see movies, but I guess it needs to be a bit closer to the top.
