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.

A 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.

I don’t know that anything I watched this weekend I planned on watching, but I have zero regrets about any of them. All were practically spur of the moment, with a few that I’d never even really heard of before. They also covered a wide array of genres which always makes for an entertaining time. I would say if you picked any of these films to watch in the future you won’t be let down. I promise!

So many movies over this holiday weekend! Overall, they were very pleasing, which is quite the feat especially given that some titles I had never heard of until about ten minutes before I decided to watch them. Below is a quick synopsis and my fast take on each of them. Enjoy!
Read moreFinally….the Tenet Film Review!
After much fanfare and many delays, Christopher Nolan’s latest epic, Tenet finally hit theaters yesterday for early access and I was totally there to see it. And just like the other films I’ve seen at my local theater, not a single other living sole was watching it with me. A little sad, but I was ultimately grateful for it. Let’s just say that despite all the hype that this film was receiving, it didn’t totally live up to it, and I’ll try to explain why without giving away all its secrets. Although, if you watch all the trailers available for it, you pretty much have the entire movie plot at your fingertips.

This weekend I managed to watch some truly “excellent” movie choices, as well as venture back into the theaters. I only chose to wade back into that reality because I knew that (and was correct that) my local theater would have only 0-5 people in attendance. Regardless, I kept my mask on the whole time and made sure to steer clear of any other people. Overall, it was an unexpectedly fulfilling weekend with some truly bizarre films.

Taking time off and nowhere to go means I got to watch a lot more movies this past week and weekend! I also ventured back to the theater this week! Although I made sure to pick a time where it was likely the no one would be present. Watching a movie with a mask on was also a cake walk, so you can all do it, too! Either way, almost everything I watched this past week was definitely unique and quite the ride. Some are certainly worth checking out, so below is quick recap to wet your appetite!

It’s only three day’s worth, but I watched so many movies, that even I’m impressed with myself. My choices, however…not all were great. Far more were mediocre or less, but I’ll just throw in my two cents with the briefest of recaps and then you can judge for yourselves.
Read moreSo-So Movie Weekend
Two flops and two wins made it into this weekend. All were extremely random in terms of story line and genre, but I’ve got an eclectic taste, so nothing ever seems that out of the ordinary for me. However, this doesn’t mean that everything I pick is going to land, and I think this weekend I was hindered by not watching trailers! Yes, they tend to give everything away now, but I think it would have deterred me from watching in a couple of cases. Anyways, here we go.
