It’s been a few days since the new year started, but before diving into 2019, I wanted to wrap up what I watched in 2018. I’m not listing all the new-to-me movies I watched this past year (you can look at that on my Letterboxd here, or look through my monthly entries), but I’ll be…
Happy New Year! Before we begin a new year of film discoveries, I need to recap the last month of 2018, which was mostly spent catching up with new releases. My viewing numbers went down to my more normal amount compared to November, when I was watching as many movies as I could on FilmStruck…
With FilmStruck shutting down at the end of November, I spent most of the month watching as many of the movies on my watchlist as possible. I couldn’t get to every movie, but I did manage to watch a good chunk! I posted some of my thoughts on the streaming service shutting down a couple…
Got back to my usual movie-watching habits in October, and even ended up watching at least one movie from each decade (from the 1920s onwards; I need to get better at watching silent movies!). I also took 13 trips to the theater this month, though most of those were to re-watch some old favorites, a…
September was another busy month, so much so that I only got around to watching a little more than a dozen movies! That included re-watches of the previous versions of A Star Is Born ahead of the new one that comes out this week (can’t wait to see it!) so I may write up a…
As I mentioned last month, August was set to be a busy month for me. Some personal news: I moved to Sacramento a few days ago! After working in Huntsville, Alabama for two years as a news producer for the ABC-affiliate station, I’m moving on to start work at the NBC-affiliate station here on Monday!…
I ended up not seeing as many new-to-me movies as I normally like to in July, but overall I saw more than 30 movies. Much of that is due to re-watching all 10 movies Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers did together in preparation for a post I wrote about a week ago on my favorite…
This past month, I ended up going through a couple of franchises I hadn’t seen before in preparation for new releases, Ocean’s Eight and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. There was definitely one franchise I had more fun watching over the other, as I’ll go a little more into later on. June also saw the release…
I watched a good mix of movies in May. This included seeing a few from my favorite go-to sources: TCM and FilmStruck. And of course, I made a few trips to the theater, one of which was for the screening of Sunset Blvd., probably my favorite movie-viewing experience of the month. Anyway, this will be…
I didn’t get quite back in the hang of my more usual viewing habits for April, though I watched slightly more movies this past month than I did in March, including several re-watches. A good portion of the month was dedicated to William Holden, who was TCM’s Star of the Month in honor of his…
