I tried to pack as many movies as I could into this weekend, which was surprisingly un-busy one. Here’s what I managed to watch!

I feel like this is pretty on brand for me at this point, but the movie selections this weekend were random. Let’s see what made the cut.

Definitely an eclectic mix of movies new and old this weekend. And, get ready for it, I finally saw Top Gun: Maverick! I know at this point it’s been so long that you wondering why you should even care, but I’m just calling back on a promise I made almost two months ago. Anyways, here’s what was in rotation this weekend.

Slightly more progress from last week and kind of a hodge-podge of films, but let’s un-pack and see where they landed for me.

Holiday Movie Weekend

You know, I set some lofty goals for movie-watching this weekend, but they just didn’t come to be. Books, family, fun times, and Stranger Things got in the way, but the haul was still nothing to sneeze at. Hopefully I can make up for it next week.

Even though I’m sure I would have watched some films being shown at this year’s Frameline Festival, it definitely helped that I won a survey last year and earned myself a gold membership. That means my name showed up in the program! Now, I wasn’t flying out to San Francisco to participate in the in person festivities, but lucky for me they had an encore streaming week! Here’s what piqued my interest!

The Black Phone – Movie & Short Story Review

June 28, 2022June 28, 2022admin

It took maybe the first ten seconds of the trailer for The Black Phone to convince me that I was going to see it. Now, that was supposed to be in January, but things happen and here we are now in June. Regardless, I definitely found the film worth the wait, and then I purposely waited to read the short story until I saw the film. As I’ve said before, the written word will always be good whether I read it before or after. The outcome for film or television adaptations varies, and typically not in the best way.
