Happy new year to all. Thanks as always for being part of this brave experiment. I start these annual messages with the intention to say something uniquely insightful, or at least witty, but soon retire behind small talk about the weather, scheduling plans for the coming year, and an odd list of movies. This year will be no different. It's been too rainy and wet so far and looks like it's going to be that kind of winter. I might blog a little less in the coming year—sometimes I feel my stamina flagging—but the general approach will remain Sundays for books, Mondays for newer movies, Thursdays for stories, Fridays for older movies, and Saturdays for albums. All best to everyone in the coming year!

I guess my recommendations for easily-accessible 2018 films would be the Elvis documentary The King and Jonah Hill's Mid90s. I'd never heard of Lean on Pete--looks good. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. Happy New Year! Look forward to Mid90s, sorry I missed it when it was around.
