First up, May 4-8, is the Classic Movie Blog Association's spring event, the Make 'Em Laugh Blogathon. I plan to review Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) for this one. It's a newer favorite of mine, and one I simply don't get tired of!
CMBA blogathons are only open to members of the association -- but if you are a classic movie blogger and not a member, applications are open this month! Check out this page for further info.
At the end of May, and extending for a whole week, Quiggy is hosting a celebration of drive-in movies at his blog, the Midnite Drive-In. So far, he only has a brief announcement post up, but more details will be coming soon. I already plan to review The Outsiders (1983) because it has a pretty pivotal scene that takes place at a drive-in movie.
Even though I usually try to stick to one blog event a month, I couldn't resist signing up for the Marilyn Monroe -- 100th Birthday Anniversary Blogathon hosted by Hoofers and Honeys May 29-June 1. I plan to review The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), which I have been meaning to see for years now. I have a copy on my TBW shelves, and this will be a good reason to make time for it.
And I'll be participating in the Robert Duvall Tribute Blogathon hosted by Taking Up Room, too. That one takes place June 5-7, and I plan to review Newsies (1992) for it. My daughters are a teensy bit obsessed with that movie right now, so I've seen it a lot lately and am glad to have a reason to sit down and review it.
You can always find a list of all the blog events I'm planning to participate in on my Upcoming Blog Events page.
Also, just a little teaser for you: Legends of Western Cinema Week will return this summer!!! Stay tuned for details...
