Punky's Daily Movie Experiment
On April 7th 2010, after realizing that she watches too many movies that her friends recommend to her, she started what she calls "her experiment" to review one movie per day for one year, taking suggestions from readers and friends. Her format is simple, she starts with saying who suggested the movie, follow by a spoiler free review, then her thoughts on the movie, if she will recommend this movie, her rating (thumbs up or down) and ending with a reminder to everyone to suggest movies by writing them on the comment section or by tweeting her.
