I keep scouring the web for more virtual film festivals and it’s done a great job in providing them to me! Thanks to a stranger on Twitter I found out about the Milwaukee Film Festival, which while it didn’t provide a lot of titles that caught my eye, it did crop up the gem that was I Used to Go Here. I was also equally excited to check out Apple TV+’s latest cinematic offer with Sofia Coppola’s On the Rocks. So that’s what I did last night!

AFI Film Festival Continued
On the last day of the AFI Film Festival, I was able to squeeze in two more movies that I was itching to see. Both were strange in their own ways, but enjoyably unique.
Read moreVirginia Film Fest & Netflix’s Rebecca
The film festival magic continues, but this time with an entirely new one! Similar excellent options, although sadly some were relegated strictly to drive-in theaters. Obviously, since I do not live there I cannot attend. Sad. No worry though, because I did get to catch a film I’d had my eye one since the start of the year!

Not much good has come out of this pandemic, so imagine my surprise when something actually awesome happens?! Film Festivals all over the world have either had to cancel or postpone, but now a large handful have caught onto the streaming bug, and this works out magically for me! Usually attended by locals or strictly critics, this change of events has given me an unseen advantage. I, just a lowly film fan, gets to watch potential Oscars films ahead of the masses!
Read moreWeekend Movie Round-up
Ah, after last week’s unusual mediocrity, I have got my film viewings back up to snuff. On the lower end, but considering I did stuff with some people (say what??), the fact that I managed to squeeze these all in is quite the feat.
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
You may all be disappointed to know that I watched a respectable number of movies this weekend. Manageable even, for normal people! I only watched three films which made me a little sad, but the movies themselves were quite diverse and satisfying. I suppose I can’t complain all that much (and I can catch up next weekend).

Hilarious throwback film meets a slew of new releases and my weekend of movies couldn’t have been better! I mean…given the circumstances. But still! Lots of originality in what I saw and perhaps something that will make it in my top ten list at the end of the year. We shall see!
Read moreExtended Movie Weekend
I say “extended” as if I watched a bunch of movies over a four day period, but the sad reality is that I didn’t. In fact, it was almost normal. I only managed to watch four films this weekend, and while I’m a little disappointed in myself, the total of movies I watched in September is kind of ridiculous. Anyways, check out what I found worth watching with a little time off this weekend.
Read moreA Very Serious Movie Weekend
Somehow I’ve managed to squeeze in more movies than should be possible, especially given that the Emmys are on tonight, but here we are! Some are great and some are just meh, but no regrets with my choices this weekend. Here’s my brief take on all of them.
Read moreThe Devil All the Time Movie Review
Towards the start of quarantine, I went out of my way to hunt down Donald Ray Pollock’s gothic hillbilly novel, The Devil All the Time, only after learning that it was being adapted into a feature film for Netflix. I also saw the cast list, which locked in my need to read this novel ASAP. And I did! If you follow my blog at all, you probably read (or at least glanced) at my review for the novel. I really enjoyed it! Not only did it take place in my home state, but it also was graphic and violent. There was such an intricate and desolate web woven between all of these characters that really sucked me in.
