DocuMondays (documentaries)

Wild Card Tuesdays (whatever suits my tastes)

Newbie Wednesday (new films in theaters or on DVD)

Jolly Good Thursdays (British cinema)

Friday Imports (foreign language cinema)

Seventies Saturdays (1970s American cinema)

Maybe Sundays (I reserve the right to either take a day off from the blog or watch a random flick and post)
