I've reviewed a lot of silent movies at Apocalypse Later and find that era the purest form of cinema. However many I've watched and reviewed, though, there are always many more that I haven't.
So, in 2023, I decided to add a new centennial project to my roster by reviewing films from 1923 on the hundredth anniversary of their original release dates.
As always, I failed to review anywhere near what I'd have liked in 2023 and especially 2024, but freeing myself up from other responsibilities, I've kept pretty much on schedule in 2025.
And that means that I should be able to publish the 2025 line-up in a zine at the end of the year, but catch up with 2023 and 2024 equivalents later.
