Calling all bloggers, for your latest writing challenge, a blogathon where it’s literally all in the name…

Today I am announcing the second of my blogathons for 2024, and this time it’s for my annual joint blogathon outing with lovely Rebecca from Taking Up Room. The blogathon’s name says it all, as it’s all in the title – with a forename or surname found in the title of your film or TV related review choice. Or in the title ie name of one of the cast..  And no, it’s not just an excuse to add this lovely picture of Helmut Berger in The Secret of Dorian Gray (1970).

The blogathon topic is simply to review a film, TV Show or TV episode with a character’s full name in the title eg The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) or John Wick : Chapter 3 Parabellum (2019)…

or iust a character’s first name eg. Marnie (1964), The Last of Sheila (1973) or Frances (1982)…

or just the character’s surname – eg MacGyver (1985-92) or Hart to Hart (1979-84).

or you can also choose to review any film, TV episode or TV Show with an actor or actress with two first names and review or write about anything or everything related to them. Be it the actor, Christopher George or Cary Grant or the actresses, Sarah Douglas and Lee Grant.

We are also allowing international names so entries can include Sorjonen (2016-2020) (a Finnish crime show), documentaries eg Valerie: A Portrait of Valerie Perrine (2019) and biopics eg Liz and Dick (2012). Plural surnames can also be allowed eg The Waltons (1972-81).

The choice is yours…

The Blogathon will be held from the 15th until the 17th of May and we will be accepting new and respectful reviews only. Also, we are asking for no duplicates and up to two entries per blogger. If you are unsure if your topic fits, contact me or Rebecca before submitting / writing your post.

Please include the “Character” that you have chosen from your title as well as your review choice eg. Benji in Benji (1974) and Enter the Ninja (1981) with Christopher George. 

 

Here are the rules…

2. If you want to review books, lists or topics eg 5 Films with Harry in the Title, that’s okay with us too.
3. We will allow no duplicates for each topic be it a film, TV Movie, TV episode or TV show. Or a cast member. You can only write on those previously mentioned if they are in a list – see above – or a retrospective review.
