Today marks what would have been the 99th birthday of Doris Day. Over the past several years, she fast became one of my favorite classic Hollywood stars because of the natural charisma and warmth she brought to all her movies; she never fails to make you smile whenever she appears on-screen. TCM treated us in…
Well with March now behind us, it’s finally Oscar month! Which is weird to say, as usually, we would’ve already had the Academy Awards by now, but of course because of obvious circumstances, that had to be delayed to April. So I’ll have my usual Oscar Sunday post of my picks and predictions toward the…
February was another movie-filled month, though I didn’t watch quite as many movies as I did in January. Probably my biggest enjoyment this past month was watching more of Pedro Almodóvar’s films after TCM played several of them the previous month. So now I’m just one movie away from completing his filmography! Before this year,…
We now have one month of 2021 behind us! And so far my movie-watching habits remain the same from how it was in the last half of 2020, in which I’m just watching a bunch of them, both ones I haven’t seen before and ones I’ve seen at least once. Some of my film trends…
Well about this time last year I posted about my year in film for 2019, in which I stated that year may be hard to top because of all the fantastic movie-related outings and travels I had. Sadly 2020 barely had any of the fun film ventures that I saw the previous year for obvious…
Happy New Year! As you probably noticed throughout 2020, I watched a lot of movies over the past 12 months, and December was no exception. I spent the last month of the year catching up on some new releases (which will continue into January at least) and indulging in TCM’s weeklong, 24-hour classic Christmas marathon,…
Happy December! It’s almost hard to believe there’s just one month left in 2020 now; hopefully, these last 31 days are better than much of the year, and I’m wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season. November is probably my favorite month of the year because of Noirvember, a month-long celebration of all things…
I didn’t watch quite as many movies in October as I did in the previous two months (though I did still watch a lot!). That’s partially due to some TV viewing: my month-long re-watch of Twin Peaks: The Return, and finally checking out The Haunting of Hill House before watching The Haunting of Bly Manor.…
Well just like August, September ended up being a huge movie-watching month. While I did watch more new-to-me movies this past month, it didn’t quite top the previous month’s total. The first part of the month was spent catching up on about two dozen more movies from TCM’s Summer Under the Stars programming, plus a…
August was a huge-movie watching month for me and other avid TCM viewers, as it was the channel’s annual Summer Under the Stars festival. This year was definitely the most I tuned into the programming thanks to being home much more often, and if I was working from home as well this month’s count would’ve…
