I watched a lot of movies this month, but a majority of them were spent in the shadows of film noir thanks to TCM’s Summer of Darkness. Alongside that, I got to see one of my favorite movies of all time on the big screen: Double Indemnity! Anyway, let’s take a look at what I…

I ended up watching more favorites than unseen films over my spring break, but it’s always nice revisiting films, especially ones that I haven’t seen in a while.…
