While I’ve not been an active participant in my own event, others have made quite a few contributions, especially Novia (Polychrome Interest) and Ruth (Flixchatter).
As I said at the beginning, the person who covered the most countries will win a DVD for up to 25$ or an amazon voucher.
And the winner is Novia from Polychrome Interest, who reviewed eitght movies from 6 different countries.
Congratulations!

Congrats Novia!
Now she should only see it. 🙂
Congratulations to Novia!
I wanted to participate in the event this year, Caroline, but I couldn’t. I hope you host it next year. I will definitely participate. I have big film plans for next year and I am hoping to include the World Cinema series in that 🙂
It was a slow year for me as well. I’m not saying next year will be better because I tend to do the exact opposite of what i wanted to do these days. 🙂
I can relate to that Caroline. I have been meaning to post movie reviews from Iranian movie “About Elly”, “Impossible”, Palestinian movie “5 Broken Cameras” and some of the great world cinema movies I have watched but didn’t get the chance to write a review about them. Oh well, better luck this year! 🙂 Thanks for hosting Caroline.
I haven’t decided yet whether to host it again but I think I will. 🙂
I have a few DVDs well worth rewatching and finally revieweing. I’ve read a review of About Elly. It sounded quite good.
Wow, you and I were even bigger SLACKERS this year than last year–although you at least kept your event rolling. Anyway, congrats to Novia and best of luck film watching to everybody next year!
It’s unbelievable, right? It’s as if we jinxed it in creating this event.
Sorry, I forgot to add your event, I had a feeling it died in January.
I could add more if I started to add the war movies and should do so as I’ve moved away from “typical” war movies to wartime movies.
What a large number of films! I’m so impressed by people who manage to engage with so much culture. Mind you, I’m always reading and it takes up all my movie watching time (plus I am extremely picky about what films I see). Congrats to Novia.
It’s a choice. If you prefer the written word, why would you force yourself to watch TV/cinema, right? I can’t limit myself to one way of telling stories. I like them all to some extent. Funny enough I find movies often more inspiring when it comes to writing.
Congrats to Novia. I had to take a break from my film reviewing this year, but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things.
I stepped back too, even on the movie blog. Either I didn’t enjoy the films enough or was just not in the mood to review. It happens.
I hope next year will be better.
I found the new Stalingrad on Amazon for 199 pounds. Let’s hope the price goes down…
That’s a joke. What kind of a prize is that.
Oh wow…I didn’t realize I won. I think stopped reviewing foreign movies months ago because I have been engaged with many TVSeries lately.
Thank you Caroline 🙂 and thank you TBM, Guy, vishy, litlove and Richard
Congratulations. Nov. You did well.
We have to see how we go about the voucher/DVD. I’ll send you an e-mail.
Wil be waiting for your email 🙂
OK. I’ll use the e-mail you use here.
Just want to let you know the DVD has arrived 🙂
Thank you Caroline ((hug))
That’s great. You’re welcome. 🙂
Congratulations to the winners!
Your event has reminded me that I am determined to make more time to watch quality fils in 2014.
I have pile with interesting foreign movies. I really need to watch more next year. I’m a bit addicted to TV series these days. Breaking Bad and such.
Lots of good movies! This past year was a stinker for me when it comes to reading (well, more or less). I can’t even seem to concentrate on movie watching (American TV is pretty bad I think, so no loss there not to spend time in front of the television). I’d like to see The Wall–but I think I will wait until spring or summer–it’s maybe a little too heavy for such long dark (and now cold) days.
It wasn’t that dark, not when you know the story but Id’ say it works better in summer.
There are quite a few US series that I enjoy, I must admit but I wait until they are on DVD. I can’t sit in front of a TV at a given time.
This looks like a great list and I’m thrilled because I love foreign films. Have seen just a few of them.
I’m curious as to what you thought of Breaking Bad, Caroline?
I’m still watching it. Overall I do like it for its storytelling abilities but it’s not a series that’s close to my heart. But the plot and the characters are great. The actors are all amazing. I can’t say I “love” it though.
Yes, it’s hard to say “love” in connection with so much depravity and violence. I thought the acting, writing and cinematography were outstanding, but I probably won’t watch it again.
I think we’re on the same page.
