Over the past month or two, we’ve seen a flood of “best of the year/decade” lists. I won’t be compiling a “best of the decade” (I’m saving that brainpower for the blog’s tenth anniversary in 2022!) or a formal list of what I considered to be the “best” new-release films in 2019. But, as is tradition on TMP, I will begin the year by sharing … Continue reading 2019 in Film: Most Memorable Discoveries
Hello, movie buffs, and happy November! I’m always a little bit baffled by the way people shout, “Halloween’s over! Merry Christmas!” on November 1st. But the temperatures are in the 30s here in Michigan now, so I see a lot of blanket-wrapped, hot cocoa-accompanied, corny Christmas movies in my near future. Before we begin growing our holiday spirit, let’s take a look back at what … Continue reading October 2019 in Film

July was a highly unusual viewing month for me: I did more re-watching than discovering! It was my birthday month,** so I took that as an excuse to kick back and revisit some of my favorite films, which I was overdue on seeing again. Let’s take a look at what I watched! **Side note: I’ll have a classic film-themed birthday haul up this week! The … Continue reading July 2019 in Film

Happy May! It’s finally beginning to warm up here in Michigan, and as I type this, I’m sitting at a window overlooking a backyard full of birds. I love spring! We’ve been in May for a day already, but before the month really gets going, it’s time to take a look back at what was watched in April. New-to-me viewings: 6 Re-watches: 1 Total for … Continue reading April 2019 in Film
It’s alive! And by it, I mean “she.” And by “she,” I mean me. Hello again, movie buffs! I apologize for my unexpected disappearance from the blog for a couple of weeks. February was another wild one. Working like mad, coordinating my Oscar pool (I took second place), dealing with bomb cyclones and power outages, a serious decluttering/redecorating project. It all kept me occupied and … Continue reading February 2019 in Film
January is always a month where I play catch-up on some of the previous year’s releases. I was particularly successful at playing catch-up this year (though there are still a few titles I need to see). I made several trips to the theater, which resulted in FandangoNOW vouchers, which I then used to rent movies like my now-favorite of 2018, Blindspotting. With all of that … Continue reading January 2019 in Film
