It’s becoming a common refrain with me, and I don’t particularly care for it, “I haven’t seen it yet.” Most of the big films didn’t have that problem, but nearly all of the smaller films did. Once my everyday life changed, so did my movie habits, and life has been so ridiculously busy, playing catch-up […]
As you’ve no doubt noticed, this has been a rough year in terms of keeping up with movies. If you’ve been reading, you know why, so I’m not going to dwell on it. I do continue to find time to watch movies, and that’s the important thing, even if they aren’t always seen in a […]
Last year was the first year I didn’t do a recap of the Oscars after the ceremony, and you know what? It was glorious. Part of it was the fact that very little that happened was unexpected (seriously, I correctly predicted 20 of 24 categories this year), while part of it was, “What’s the point, […]
Snooch to the Nooch! Well, with the Oscars finally happening on Sunday, it’s now time for my final look at the nominees, and a look at my final predictions (all nominations listed in order of preference), and whether they’ve changed in the past month. This year has been a frustrating one, moviewatching-wise, as I haven’t […]
Well, the nominations are set. The question is which ones will pan out into Oscars. The Oscar telecast is on March 2, with Ellen DeGeneres (“Finding Nemo”) hosting. Best Picture Oscar’s Final Nine “American Hustle” “Captain Phillips” “Dallas Buyers Club” “Gravity” “Her” “Nebraska” “Philomena” “12 Years a Slave” “The Wolf of Wall Street” (Haven’t Seen) […]
It’s that time of year again. Unfortunately, I’m still missing a lot of movies on my “have watched” that could have an effect on these, but it will be updated as we go along. Keep in mind– this is me basically filling out my own, personal Oscar ballot in all the “major” categories. Other people […]
“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.” “The Wolf of Wall Street.” “Saving Mr. Banks.” “The Act of Killing.” “Nebraska.” “”Inside Llewyn Davis.” “Dallas Buyers Club.” “Frozen.” “Carrie.” “The Fifth Estate.” “The Counselor.” “Her.” “August: Osage County.” “Philomena.” “The Great Gatsby.” “The Art of Killing.” “Blue is the Warmest Color.” These are just a handful of […]
This is the 10th time I’ve focused my October movie watching on horror movies. That’s kind of surreal to consider, actually. However, even more surreal was something that happened around the middle of the month that has thrown off my routine in a big way. The long and short of it is this: my father, […]
This was my fifth year going to Atlanta’s annual geek convention, and based on the comments seen online during the course of the convention, it seems as though many people are at a crossroads when it comes to D*Con. This year, I was as well, but for different reasons that didn’t really have anything to […]
This summer, I kept a pretty steady pace in my moviewatching up until late June, when I ended up with a backlog of big movies to watch longer than even those of summer’s past. Truth be told, however, this has been a really busy one between work and my first romantic relationship, which also led […]
