I didn’t buy a single DVD or movie-related book in February. But luckily for me, for the blog, and for you (if you enjoy these collection updates), I somehow completely forgot to post my collection update for December. So, these films were actually purchased in December but are officially entering the collection now. I hadn’t cataloged them either, so I’m not sure where my brain was in January, but all is well now! Here’s the list.
