2019 was a fantastic movie year for me. For one, I attended the TCM Classic Film Festival for the first time; that alone makes my whole year and would’ve made the past year incredible on its own if that was the only great movie-related venture I made. But I was very lucky to see and…
Happy New Year! And new decade! It’s amazing to think that we’re now in the ’20s… the 2020s, that is. I’m excited to see what the next year and decade have in store, especially on the cinema front. But before pushing ahead to 2020, there’s still one month left from 2019 to look back on.…
November was another big movie-watching month, wherein I watched nearly 50(!) new-to-me movies and re-watched more than a dozen others. Of course, it was Noirvember, so I watched a ton of film noir! I also caught up with several new releases in theaters, and was lucky enough to see The Irishman playing at a theater…
This past month I ended up watching dozens of movies, more so than usual at least. That’s partially due to TCM’s spotlight on movies that run at 75 minutes or less, so I was able to squeeze in a number of short movies. But I also found myself watching a bunch of movies back to…
September was a big movie-filled month, primarily because I ended it with another trip to New York City for the opening weekend of the New York Film Festival! As you may remember, I attended the last weekend of NYFF back in 2017, and I’ve wanted to go again since then, so I’m glad I was…
As is the norm for the month of August, I watched a bunch of movies thanks to TCM’s annual Summer Under the Stars program. I watched at least one new-to-me movie for each featured star, though I simply re-watched a movie for the days dedicated to James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, and Fred Astaire since I…
July was yet another terrific month of movies, wherein I enjoyed some ’50s sci-fi movies thanks to TCM’s spotlight programming, and some Glenn Ford westerns as he was the channel’s Star of the Month. Of course, today marks the first day of TCM’s annual Summer Under the Stars festival, and there are about a dozen…
June seemed to fly by, but I still managed to watch about a month’s worth of movies, and it was a pretty interesting mix. As usual, I watched a lot of what TCM had to offer (including a few titles from their engaging two-month spotlight series on WWII movies), and I’m also getting more use…
The month of May was filled with plenty of discoveries mixed in with a lot of re-watches. My local arthouse theater hosted film noir screenings every Wednesday in May, so of course, I had to go to every showing, including the first one for Gun Crazy with special guest Eddie Muller, the Czar of Noir…
April was an amazing month of movies, to say the least. While I didn’t watch quite as many movies as I usually try to do within a month’s time, my experiences at the theater were nothing short of incredible, and that’s mostly due to the TCM Classic Film Festival! I had such a great time…
