Sigh...another month another flock of films, a murder of movies, a coalition of celluoid, a pack of photoplays, a parliament of pictures, a mischief of magic lantern projections! OK, OK...I suppose that was reaching just a bit as I didn't actually watch any lantern projection films but some of them were kinda old I suppose so all is forgiven. As I usually do I just sort of wandered about inserting film of great quality alongside really awful SyFy genre films just because as always that's just how I roll. Although I guess collected all together it may look like a large amount of films, in reality I've been kinda scaling down some of my viewings as I like to ruminate on some of them on my Facebook profile and packing too many films back to back, even though I do have the time, would just cause them to blur together a bit too much as writing about them helps me to focus a bit on their good and bad points and all that blah blah. I suppose you could "friend" me if you want to read my ramblings as I don't really seem to be writing review format type of musings anywhere else anymore. Both Netflix and Hulu Plus have been sneaking in tons of odd and cl@ssic films lately so I've been trying to track them down by throwing my genre viewing all over the place to see what springs up, and of course systematically flipping through some pages of film listings. Anyhoo...here's the stuff I watched last month for your edification and/or amusement.
