August was a busy month between seeing films at home, in theaters, and even outdoors on more than one occasion (not to mention catching some of the Olympics at the beginning of the month in between all the movie-watching). TCM hosted its annual Summer Under the Stars series, so at home I’ve mostly been watching…
July was a big month for movie-watching in theaters, as the American Cinematheque held its annual 70mm film series, which expanded to the Egyptian this year! I got to watch several movies there and at the Aero, mostly seeing old favorites along with some discoveries: Inception, a double feature of Top Gun and Days of…
The year feels like it’s flying by, as we’re now halfway through 2024. At the moment, I’ve been rewatching more movies than watching ones I haven’t seen before this year, though the tally between the two is pretty close. And that’s reflected in viewing habits for June; among the films I enjoyed revisiting were My…
May was a jam-packed month at the movies, bookended by beautiful 4K screenings at the Academy Museum of Funny Girl and Amadeus, the latter of which was the world premiere of a new restoration of the theatrical cut of the Oscar-winning film. It’s been great visiting the Vista Theater more often, and this past month…
A month has passed since the 15th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival ended, which felt even bigger than usual compared to the previous festivals I’ve attended. Along with it being a milestone year for TCMFF, 2024 also marked the 30th anniversary of Turner Classic Movies, so it’s fitting that this year’s festival was such a…
As usual, April was a very exciting month, mostly thanks to the annual TCM Classic Film Festival! There’s a lot to report there, so I’ll save my recap of this year’s festival for a separate post, but overall it was another amazing time in Hollywood. Outside of TCMFF, there were several other notable screenings that…
The TCM Classic Film Festival returns for its 15th edition next week, and it comes a few days after TCM’s 30th anniversary. With all these notable milestones for Turner Classic Movies, this year’s event is set to be a special one, and for me personally, it’ll be even more so as my dad will be…
March was a pretty stacked month compared to February, which as I mentioned last month, was mostly focused on awards season viewings. With the Academy Awards now in the rearview, I got back into the swing of things with a more varied selection of movies, though I caught a few screenings of the newly-minted Oscar…
Happy Oscar Sunday! This time last year, I was getting dressed up to watch the Academy Awards at the Academy Museum, but this year I’m celebrating the conclusion of awards season in a more relaxed fashion, though still slightly more exciting than just watching at home. My mom, who happens to be visiting Southern California…
While February was slightly extended yesterday thanks to Leap Day, the number of movies I watched overall was just below the number of days there were in the shortest month of the year. That’s not to say that I didn’t watch a lot, but I just watched a dozen new-to-me movies, and most of them…
