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.

Spencer: Review
“They know everything.“ “They don’t.” Those were the last lines of the first trailer that was released for Spencer, Pablo Larrain’s latest quasi-biopic focusing on the intimate personal life of a famous woman, and they are quite good at setting the tone for how it unravels.

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…
