Films in 2023: April

As usual, I mostly focused my attention in April on the four-day TCM Classic Film Festival. It was another memorable time watching movies with fellow classic film fans, and I plan to post a full recap of my experience in the coming days. You can probably figure out what I saw during the fest, or…

Films in 2023: March

I didn’t watch as many movies in March as I usually do in a month. That’s partially due to both of my sisters visiting me for a week to celebrate both the Oscars and my birthday. Though for my actual birthday (which they weren’t in town for yet), I spent it watching Mon oncle at…

My Picks for TCMFF 2023

The TCM Classic Film Festival begins in just two weeks, and my anticipation continues to grow as we get closer. While I have the great luxury of going to repertory screenings all the time living in Los Angeles, there’s still nothing like watching movies at TCMFF, and I’m excited to attend the beloved fest for…

The 95th Academy Awards: My Picks and Predictions

Happy Oscar Sunday! It’s been a pretty exciting awards season, with several movies I enjoyed last year getting some well-deserved recognition, so much so that there are quite a few races that aren’t as easy to predict as usual as we head into the Oscars. This year though I won’t be glued to my TV…

Films in 2023: February

As expected, I did more movie-watching related to this Oscar season in February, which included several screenings with this year’s nominees, all thanks to the American Cinematheque: Sir Roger Deakins; Martin McDonagh, Colin Farrell, and Brendan Gleeson; Brendan Fraser; and Paul Mescal. On top of seeing those Oscar nominees at the Aero, I also got…

Films in 2023: January

This past month as far as movie-watching goes was a good way to kick off 2023. As usual, I watched some awards contenders, which included catching up with the remaining movies that just earned Oscar nominations in the acting categories (and elsewhere) that I hadn’t seen yet. There are at least a couple of other…

Films in 2022 Review

2022 was the biggest movie-watching year for me yet, though not because of the overall number of films I watched in a year’s time. In fact, compared to the past two years when I spent much more time than usual at home, I didn’t see nearly as many movies, but so many of what I…

Films in 2022: December

Happy New Year! Hope you all had a great time ringing in 2023. My last moments of 2022 were spent playing the new Rear Window board game with my family, so that was a lot of fun! Movie-watching-wise, my viewing habits winded down a bit in the last couple of weeks of December, but it…

Films in 2022: November

November seemingly flew by, and as you’ll see, I ended up re-watching more movies than seeing films for the first time, but I still saw plenty regardless! During the first weekend of the month, I went to a handful of AFI FEST screenings, most of which included Q&As with the talent in front of and…

Films in 2022: October

Can you believe it’s already November!? This year is really flying by, but I’m glad it’s now my favorite time of the year with the anticipation of the holidays and, more importantly as a cinephile, fall movie season and Noirvember! Before moving ahead to the new month, a look back at October, which was filled…
