For at least 3 years now I have tried and failed to complete a full year of the Blind Spot Movie Challenge. I don’t know what happens but something just stops me. It was great, then, when last year one of my favourite movie bloggers Mettel Ray announced that she struggles with the same challenge, and so created her own – the Hidden Gems Movie Challenge. Check out her original post here to find out more, but I’ll explain briefly too.
Mettel Ray was kind enough to let me take part in the challenge myself for 2021 and I couldn’t be more excited. The idea is that each month you pick an actor or actress of whom you’re a big fan of, and watch 3 of their movies you haven’t yet seen, with the hope of finding a hidden gem. If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know I tend to obsess over a star and then consume as much of their filmography as I can so this should absolutely be a challenge I can keep to and enjoy!
The hardest part is picking who to focus on for each month! Like Mettel Ray, I’m going to pick 6 actors and 6 actresses. There are 3 names who, as much as I love them, aren’t going to be included, and that’s simply because I’ve already watched so many of their movies there either aren’t even 3 left or there are only 3 or 4 that I haven’t seen. Those names are Adam Driver, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds.
So, without further ado, here are my picks…
JANUARY – Dan Stevens
FEBRUARY – Kristen Stewart
MARCH – Keanu Reeves
APRIL – Michael B. Jordan
MAY – Margot Robbie
JUNE – Paul Rudd
JULY – Nicole Kidman
AUGUST – Jake Gyllenhaal
SEPTEMBER – Octavia Spencer
OCTOBER – Emily Blunt
NOVEMBER – Emma Thompson
DECEMBER – Oscar Isaac

This sounds like a nice idea. I don’t know if I can do something like this every month as I have other things I want to do as I want to start the new year fresh and from scratch.

I think you have to pick and choose what to take part in, there’s not enough time in the world! I could never finish a Blind Spot challenge though so I’m hoping this is the thing for me 🙂
