Starting with Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star and ending with Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, 2004 was my busiest movie-reviewing year to date. Given my regular contributions to both online and print publications – not to mention the reviews I penned exclusively for this site – I figured it’d be interesting to see just how prolific I’d been during the past twelve months. The results are as follows:
Online Reviews:
Slant magazine: 61
Filmcritic.com: 15
Print Reviews:
Rocky Mountain Bullhorn (Original): 34
Rocky Mountain Bullhorn (Total): 69
(Note: Many of my RMB articles were reworked versions of Slant magazine reviews or totally new reviews of films I’d already written about for Filmcritic.com. Those reviews were never posted on this site – I saw no need to duplicate film reviews here – but since most of them required extra writing and/or editing, I’ve chosen to include them in the “Total” RMB tabulation).
The Nick Schager Film Project Reviews:
Film Reviews: 32
DVD/Video Reviews: 84
Additionally, I watched 10 films on video during the first half of the year that I haven’t yet reviewed.
THUS, the final stats are:
Total films REVIEWED (including only original RMB reviews): 226
Total films REVIEWED (including ALL RMB reviews): 261
Man, that’s a lot of film criticism. But with any luck, 2005 will be even busier.

And you still don’t get tired of watching movies. Damn.
That is just a scary amount of movies, my friend. Now I don’t know Cathy . . . er . . . at all, but I can just picture a diaper changing session for baby Hannah going something like this:
Cathy: Nick, get your ass here and help me with Hannah!
Nick: But honey I’m not done with the DVD edition of “Squarepants Spongebob” It’s the deluxe edition, you know!
Just a gut feeling that answer wouldn’t work.
Yes, it’s a lot of movies. But the really scary thing is that I still missed a bunch of important films (like Hotel Rwanda and Vera Drake).
Fortunately, that’s what January is for!
(And you’re right, Wawa – telling Cathy to deal with the baby while I review DVD extras unfortunately does not work. Ever.)
