I can’t believe it’s already September! This year has absolutely flown past me. School starts up again next week, and since I’m taking five upper-level classes, my number of monthly viewings will probably decrease quite a bit. Luckily, I was able to squeeze in a pretty good number of viewings in August and already have a ton of reviews drafted up, so keeping up with daily posts here shouldn’t be a problem. (For more on how I’ll keep the blog moving during my very busy 4th year of college, check out the announcement I made last month.)

August was an odd month. I watched a whole lot of TCM’s Summer Under the Stars programming, but I was also in the mood for horror, so I gravitated toward a few cheesy thrillers on Netflix. I also hit up Redbox a few times with my sister for classics such as Breaking Dawn (her choice, though it wasn’t a serious pick – we like to watch the series and laugh).

On to the stats!

New-to-me in August: 39
Re-watches in August: 11
Total watched this month: 50 (Theater trips: 0)
