WWW Wednesday | Moviewatch: December 2024!
Happy 2025, people! WHAT have you finished reading recently? I’m within an hour of finishing the Audible version of Strange Weather in Tokyo, but finishing it would give first blood to fiction and that will not do. WHAT are you … Continue reading
Top Ten Favorite Movies Watched in 2024
I watched a ridiculous amount of movies in 2024. (189!) Here’s my ten favorites, rewatches being disqualified. Margin Call, 2011. Unexpectedly compelling for a movie that takes place over the course of two days, all of which involve men … Continue reading
Moviewatch: November 2024
Another month gone, another round of movies to reflect on! [*] entries were those that I picked. Ghostworld, 2001. I…really don’t know what this is about. We follow two teenage girls (one is Scarlett Johanson, the other is the Hollywood-Ugly … Continue reading

July was an unusal month in that I literally only watched one movie by myself, Father Stu. The rest were watched with (and chosen by) friends. Manhattan Murder Mystery, 1993. Woody Allen’s wife Diane Keaton is suspicious about the death … Continue reading
Moviewatch: June 2024
Apocalypse Now, which was…..different than I was expecting. Of course, I’ve seen Sheen’s son Charlie in Platoon and my Vietnam movie knowledge is very muddled. Wonderful shots in the beginning, though: as horrible as war is, they managed to … Continue reading
Moviewatch: April 2024
Bonnie and Clyde, 1963. Two poor teenagers set forth on a fund-raising tour of the midwest. Highly romanticized, but fun, with a great soundtrack. Harold and Maude, 1971. A morbid young man who goes to funerals for … Continue reading
Moviewatch: March
There was a….bit of a theme to this month’s movie watching, at least for the ones I watched solo. See if you can guess what it is. I bet you can! The Scout, 1994. Albert Brooks plays a scout who, … Continue reading
