September was a whirlwind of a month as I began the final semester of my MLIS program, applied for graduation, and continued working on the end-of-program portfolio I have to submit in order to graduate. On the blog front, I participated in three blogathons, dedicated to William Wellman, Lauren Bacall, and TCM. It was a busy month and I’m doing more coursework than ever… but I still managed to make time for movies, of course! (What’s sleep? Who needs it?) Let’s take a look at what I watched in September.

Those three Blondie flicks at the end of the month give away the secret that I’m finally reviewing Volume 2 of Echo Bridge’s five-film Blondie sets, haha. I expected to have that done sooner… like, a year sooner… but such is life. Please note as well that Carve Her Name with Pride and Evergreen are linked; the reviews for those have already been posted. Check ’em out if you missed them!

Another big month for TCM/WatchTCM! I am loving WatchTCM as much as ever. When it first came out, I thought I’d use it to catch stuff I forgot to tape. Instead, I’ve been using it to discover films that I passed over on the schedule. It’s been a wonderful discovery tool!

The current decade and the 1940s are tied for most-viewed this month. Classic to modern ratio is 17:7 including the two silent films I viewed this month, 15:7 if we’re talkin’ talkies only. Not too shabby!
Hope you all had a successful September, and here’s to a month of spooky viewing in October!
