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!

Weekend 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).
Read moreWeekend Movie Review
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.

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!
Read moreLabor Day Movie Weekend
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.
