We're entering the last week of the Challenge. I thought there would be more than one of us hitting the century mark by now, but this is a low key challenge so it's all good. Watched a good version of The Lady Vanishes (2013), tonight. I think it's probably the most faithful version to the source novel, The Wheel Spins.

Last day of the Challenge! Remember, today at dusk any applicable choices can also count toward the B-Movie/Exploitation/Drive-in Challenge.

I wasn’t sure if Liam Neeson was on the safe list for B-movies, so I watched The Marksman on Prime then all the similarities (all new to me). All were watchable, though The Marksman could’ve used more action related to the title, The Commuter was like a less-inspired version of Source Code, Memory had an interesting Alzheimer’s angle, and Blacklight is… a movie. I like how there are always plot points about how old Neeson is.
I also spun through the …Has Fallen trilogy, which I’ve seen before. No surprise that the Antoine Fuqua original is the best.

Thanks for stepping up coyoteblue. This is always one of my favorite challenges. Even last night, I was still watching some action. I discovered that Beast King Golion was on YouTube, and I watched the first three episodes.

Many thanks from me as well coyoteblue. My list is finished. I watched 34 things, 32 of which were first time views. There were 31 movies, 1 TV show and 3 commentaries or special features on 12 DVD's and 13 BluRays. Nine were on streaming services.
Far from my highest total but March turned out to be a busy month.

My list is complete. I usually manage to hit 100 with this challenge (mostly TV), but just managed around 50 this year. Thanks for running the challenge, Coyoteblue!
