As the world slowly starts to open back up, that means far away film festivals will once again become inaccessible to me unless I’m willing to travel and drop a lot of cash. Which, I’m not saying it’ll never happy, but for now I’m still glad to be offered a chance to partake in these awesome festivals from the comfort of my own home! Case in point: the Tribeca Film Festival! This is the first United States film festival that is taking place in person since the pandemic started, but they are still offering at home viewings of almost everything (except for No Sudden Move which I’m upset about). This festival takes place over the course of two weeks, so I’m splitting up my haul between the two, so here’s the first batch!

Movies in Review
While not as ambitious as last holiday weekend, I still got a fair share of films in! Some were deserving repeats (in my opinion) while the remaining went back in time a little bit. Also, I’m pretty sure I found a new movie to add to my all-time weird list! That’s seriously quite an honor, because it’ll probably get brought up in conversation at least a few times a year. Anyway, let’s go!

I don’t believe a single film I watched over this holiday weekend was in any way patriotic, but that did not make them any less enjoyable! Here we go with some high level recaps and my honest two cents.

Sadly, I was only able to get one film in this weekend. I mean, in exchange for less films I did get to see some friends for the first time in over a year and some change, so I’ll take a slow weekend for that. However, I don’t plan on that being the new norm! It wasn’t in the before times, so there’s no need for it to be now.
Read moreAverage Movie Weekend
This is perhaps the least amount of films I’ve watched in a given weekend since the pandemic started. I must admit that makes me a little sad. Sad because I love movies, but I suppose not as sad because I am starting to (safely) get back to normal a little bit. Either way, the limited choices in films I made this weekend were mediocre at best, but for the most part enjoyable to watch. Sometimes you can’t ask for more then that.

That’s right, all new movies this weekend! I paid a visit to a theater, checked some out video on demand, and even got to watch a couple from the Milwaukee Film Festival! All were very unique in their own way, and I consider that quite a success!

Such a short weekend, and a decent amount of movies! No venturing to the theater this weekend, but there were plenty of new titles to catch from the comfort of my recliner, so I made it work.

After missing out on a live event last year, CIFF decided to take it’s festival to the virtual world by calling it CIFF Streams this year! Hey, no skin off my back. I still get to participate, and I get to do it all from the comfort of my home! Not as many titles jumped out at me as Sundance did this year, but I still made some solid and pretty exciting choices. Let’s get reviewing!

I think it will be hard to beat the amount of movies that I did in January (thank you, Sundance), but that does not mean what I’m watching isn’t of quality and that’s all that really matters. While a good chunk of these are new, I did swing back to one of my favorites from 2020. I also managed to get the last best picture nominee in over the weekend! Let’s take a look, shall we?

I let you all down last week! Although, I promise you, I did in fact watch movies. Just not as many as I have been cranking out recently. With that in mind, I’ve got last week’s films below, as well as the ones that made the cut this week. Because voting for the Independent Spirit Awards will start in just a couple weeks, I’ve been sent screeners for a lot of the nominees, and while I’ve seen most of them, there are still a small handful I’ve been wanting to watch. Now’s my chance!
