The last full month of summer saw a lot of enjoyable viewings, both in theaters and at home. I kicked off August with the new horror movie Together, which featured a Q&A with director/writer Michael Shanks and stars Dave Franco and Alison Brie (and I got to meet the couple at a pop-up event for…
It felt like I spent much of July inside a movie theater; in fact, I saw more than 30 films on the big screen over the course of the month! A good chunk of that was due to some cool 70mm screenings, mostly from the American Cinematheque’s annual Ultra Cinematheque 70 Fest, which included a…
I ended up revisiting a lot more movies than watching ones I hadn’t seen before in June, but most of what I re-watched was seeing great films on the big screen for the first time. That included Ben-Hur and Cleopatra at the Academy Museum as part of their Oscar Sundays screenings (I also saw The…
After all the excitement from the TCM Classic Film Festival in April, my moviegoing in May was a little more chill. I did attend a few cool screenings throughout the month, including 50th anniversary screenings at the Egyptian of Nashville with stars Keith Carradine and Ronee Blakley, and Cooley High with director Michael Schultz and stars…
It’s been about a month since the 16th TCM Classic Film Festival, and as usual, it was a fantastic time at the movies. It was my fifth time attending my favorite festival in person, and it may have just been one of the very best experiences of all the times I’ve gone! As I do…

The TCM Classic Film Festival returns for its 16th edition in just a few weeks, and it’ll be my fifth time attending in person! The schedule was released a couple of days ago, and somewhat surprisingly, I’ve made most of my initial choices without any big conflicts to mull over. Though, of course, that doesn’t…
I went to a lot of cool screenings in March, with my favorite being The Thing at the Academy Museum, which was preceded by a Q&A with John Carpenter and Bong Joon Ho. I also spent much of the past two weekends at the Egyptian Theatre for this year’s edition of the Noir City Film…
Happy Oscar Sunday! Tonight I’ll be celebrating the Academy Awards at the Academy Museum, where I watched the ceremony two years ago, so I’m excited to be back there for Hollywood’s biggest night. That, of course, brings me to my annual Oscar picks and predictions post, which I’ll be keeping brief this time around. So,…
It’s been a little busy for me recently, especially now that it’s Oscars weekend! But I did want to get my February wrap-up posted before the first day of the new month concluded. So I’m keeping it brief this time around, and with that said, here’s a look back at what I watched over the…
