January 2022 Film Round-Up
Yes, you read the title correctly. My monthly film round-ups are back. In case you’re new here (in which case, welcome!), back in 2020 I did monthly posts about everything that I watched that month, both new discoveries and rewatches and then picked a favourite new film for the month. They’re They’re not very fascinating…

October Horror Month Roundup
At the beginning of October, I decided to introduce a theme to my film-watching activity in order to co-ordinate with the then-upcoming Halloween season, which is really just one day but culturally it starts about a week before that with people discussing costumes and the film spheres have daily discussions about the best and worst…

December 2020 Film Round-Up
With this post, I finally stop talking about 2020 in film, something I feel like I’ve been doing non-stop for weeks. I watched quite a bit in December, mostly as an incentive to catch up on as many anticipated releases in 2020 as I could so I make the most informed list at the end…

November 2020 Film Round-Up
While November didn’t have the never-ending quality of October, I also managed to watch a lot more movies. As we reach the end of the year, it’s time for the prestige movies to finally roll themselves out in time for the yearly awards circuit. As you might’ve gleaned from some of my posts, this is…

October 2020 Film Round-Up
Bless anyone who is sticking with these posts, which are basically a way for me to reminisce on the month that has just passed with retrospective eyes to consider the cinema that has been devoured in whatever free time I can muster between working full-time and trying to write a TV show. Alas, there is…

September 2020 Film Round-Up
So life finally got fully in the way of my movie viewing habits. Between starting a new job and becoming obsessed with a certain Emmy-sweeping television show (Schitt’s Creek if you couldn’t guess), through September I tried my best to watch one movie a day on weekdays after work and multiple on weekends if I…

August 2020 Film Round-Up
Another month, another load of films watched. Also, how on EARTH are we at the end of August? 2020 really is playing with the rules of time – I guess it saw Tenet. So, as usual, here’s everything that I watched in August 2020, and a little of what I thought about them. I bet…

July 2020 Film Round-Up
Coming in a bit late this month, but I’m back for another monthly film round-up of everything I saw in July. It’s definitely not as packed as the past three editions, but I still watched some good stuff. There are going to be a lot of Best Picture Winners in here due to me finally…

June 2020 Film Round-Up
It feels absolutely surreal that another month has already passed by. The UK is seeing the bulk of its lockdown restriction being eased or lifted, and it seems as though we’re in the transition phase back into some semblance of normalcy. I have no idea when that will be, but I hope everybody is continuing…

May 2020 Film Round-Up
I had planned this post today since my April edition, but given the state of the world, I couldn’t post it without addressing things that have been going on around the whole world especially the past few days, but really for the past few centuries. As a white person, I am aware of my privilege…
