Another month has passed us by, which means it’s time for another viewing wrap-up! Here’s a little look at what I watched in October. New-to-me viewings: 18 Re-watches: 3 Total for September: 21 Total for 2015, so far: 278 Kind of a low viewing month for me. I’ll spare you another month of drawn-out grad school excuses and instead just say that I wish I … Continue reading October 2015 in Film

Though May was a pretty small viewing month for me in terms of film, I still managed to watch 16 movies, a handful of which were non-classics. Let’s take a look at those modern movies! ExTerminators (2009) – Alex (Heather Graham) is an accountant. She loses her job, and on the same day finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her. Resorting to … Continue reading Films in 2015: Modern Movies in May
Another month has passed, which means it’s time for a viewing wrap-up! March was a decent viewing month for me, though I did spend a bit too much time marathon re-watching The Tudors, Downton Abbey, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and Hell on Wheels rather than watching movies and getting ahead on blog posts. (Oops!) Let’s take a look back at the movies I viewed … Continue reading March 2015 in Film
Boys and Girls (2000) – Quirky early millennium fun, complete with a choreographed dance scene and a cheesy romance. This flick tells the story of two people who meet on a plane as tweens (around twelve years old) and find their lives intersecting now and then over the next several years, until they finally become best friends in college. Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Claire Forlani … Continue reading Films in 2015: Modern Movies in February (Pt. 1)
February is a short month and it felt shorter than ever this year! As we begin the month of March, I’ll be upholding the monthly viewing update tradition by sharing what I watched in February. Let’s take a look, shall we? New-to-me viewings: 19 Re-watches: 1 Total for February: 20 Total for 2015 (so far): 57 The new-to-me list: For the First Time (1959) Something … Continue reading February 2015 in Film
Cake (2014) – I’m not the biggest Jennifer Aniston fan. She’s one of those actresses that has always annoyed me a little bit, for no particular reason. (She was even my least favorite part of Friends, when I watched it during its original run!) So I didn’t go into this move with high expectations (aside from my excitement over seeing Chris Messina in another film), … Continue reading Films in 2015: Modern movies in January, Part II
American Sniper (2015) – Like last year’s Fury and Unbroken, American Sniper is an unflinching look at some of the realities of war. Fury portrayed the harsh truths of being an inexperienced young soldier during World War II; Unbroken portrayed the POW experience; American Sniper takes on modern warfare, through the tale of the United States’ reported deadliest sniper, Chris Kyle. I can appreciate the … Continue reading Films in 2015: Modern movies in January, Part I
