March 2018

Only watched eight new films this month. They were all okay at the very least, with the exception of The Disaster Artist, which is an abomination. So, this month I’ll only do a top 5.

February 2018

Sorry I didn’t post this earlier- I kind of forgot. It was a very good month. Out of the 21 films I watched only two were bad.

January 2018

The year began with a renewed sense of hope, but it only took a few hours to realize that the world is still on fire. At least when it comes to movies, things started of excellently. Thanks to Moviepass I was able to go to the theaters 11 times (to watch 9 films), and I used streaming services plenty of times. In the end I watched 26 films for the first time, and I onky had big reservations about three of them.

So, anyways…

Review: Battle of the Sexes

There is no denying that the televised “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Briggs (portrayed in the film respectivelh by Emma Stone and Steve Carell) was an important event in the ongoing struggle for equality among men and women. The story of how it came to be doesn’t make for compelling cinema.

Short Reviews: Heaven Can Wait, The Stunt Man, Cat People

One of my goals for 2018 is to write more even if I’m not content with how things turn out. I don’t know if I’ll actually keep up with it, but I guess I’ll give it a shot.

Heaven Can Wait (Warren Beatty, 1978)

For my first film of the year I wanted to watch that’s more than 20 years old but also something fun so as to not start out the year on a downer, so Warren Beatty’s Heaven Can Wait seemed to meet this criteria. For the most part it was a perfect choice. For most of its running time it’s a simple, fun comedy about a guy who gets to have a second chance at life in the body of another person after being taken too soon. The scenes where Beatty’s Joe Pendelton as Leo Farnsworth toys with his cheating wife and lover are easily the highlight of these early bits.

2017 Top 10 New-to-Me

As always, I didm’t watch as many older films as I would have hoped, with only 73. But there were some excellent ones and I hope 2018 will be better in this regard.

December 2017

The last month of the year has come and gone, and I onky managed to watch 12 films, but only six are worth mentioning.

November 2017

It was a good month for movies. Of the 17 films that I saw only one stinker (this year’s The Mummy). Basically, any month where you watch films as good as Coco, Lady Bird, and Wonder in theaters within the span of a week will be a good month.

October 2017

Only watched 11 films this month. I had planned to watch more horror films than I did but in the end I felt the real-life horrors were enough. Anyways, I’ll only do a top 5 this time.

September 2017

It was a very good month. I watched 20 films and there were only 3 films I didn’t like, and even then there was stuff I appreciated in them.

Anyways, you know the deal.
