And that completes this marathon.
Whew! That was quite a ride! Some stats?
27 Titles watched, totalling 2 days, 15 hours and 47 minutes,
for an average runtime of 141 minutes
(skewed because of Charmed Season 4, of which 2/3rd was watched in September).
Looking forward to November's marathon!
I never seen it before
I've seen before, but not yet for this marathon
Watched, and accounted for in this marathon
Each title is clickable with a link to IMDb for further information (if anyone is interested).
Number in () is the day in October I watched the movie.
X/XX is of course my appreciation of it.

* I've given Bloodrayne a 4, but I actually enjoyed the movie. It was nowhere as bad I've read all over the place, IMO. Maybe my expectations were so low that I ended up liking it. Who knows.
** I don't know what that was all about. It lost me completely, and honestly, it also bored me to no end. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for that kind of movie. And it certainly was not at all what I thought it was when I bought it! Guess I should do my homework better in the future.
*** I was pleasantly surprised by that movie. I like it!
