Happy 2019!

What a great year of movie-watching it was! Probably my favorite film that I watched this year was Get Out. But I thoroughly enjoyed the many shows I also watched, especially the Frankenstein Chronicles (all seasons), Doctor Blake Mysteries (all seasons), Peaky Blinders season 4, and Black Mirror (all seasons).

I'd like to continue to watch a balance of classics, favorites, and new films. I also plan to go out to the theater more often, a goal I've had for the past few years. I also plan to have a spring challenge of watching Abbott and Costello films. So, stay tuned for those posts!

Best wishes!

Rating: Q=6, P=8 / Can't Get Enough

Horror, Thriller, Comedy, Racism, Psychological

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. I had been looking forward to watching this film for a long time and was completely floored by the exceptional writing. Jordan Peele has blown everyone away with his debut. There is far too much to comment about--this movie is a film student's dream to write about--so instead I link you to a very well-written review which captures my sentiments.

Ultimately, watch this film. Even if you don't like horror or thrills. It has amazing writing, important social commentary, crazy/weird moments, and is just overall great.
