Month in Review: June ’19

To those people still reading or starting to read me: This month, as in July, I'm being told by the folks behind the scenes that it's my eighth year of "flying with WordPress" which is a pretty amazing thing. I'm not sure whether I'll be doing anything in observance of that landmark -- in the … Continue reading Month in Review: June ’19

If you do the math, taking it all again this … Continue reading Top That: Seven Most Dramatic Scenes from the 2019 NBA Finals

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's that time again! Another month of cinematic magic to look back on, or . . . since it's early in the year, perhaps lament the lack thereof.

Whoops. I'm a day late on this. April Fools on anyone waiting with bated breaths to see this post pop up in their feed yesterday.

Month in Review: February ’19

The shortest month of the year offered a mixture of mostly good with a tiny little pinch of terrible. It was once again a pretty quiet month in terms of number of movies watched but when you have your Tennessee Vols at #1 in the country for four straight weeks in men's basketball, distractions are … Continue reading Month in Review: February ’19

To encourage a bit more variety in my blogging posts and to help distance this site from the one of old, I’m installing this monthly post where I summarize the previous month’s activity in a wraparound that will hopefully give people the chance to go back and find stuff they might have missed, as well as … Continue reading Month in Review: September ’18
