I watched 33 movies in January. 25 of them were new to me. 11 of them were made before I was born. I had fully intended to revisit my Great British Movies theme, but that never quite turned out. Instead, it was a very random month full of me watching whatever I came across.
Part of this was because the software I usually use to enable me to watch many things broke and it took me a while to fix it. So I was limited in what I could watch so I watched what I could.
Still a pretty fun month.
As any long-time reader will tell you I do love following the actors and directors I watch the most from in a given year. January is always a little goofy in that regard as the year has just begun and this year is no different. I don’t even know who a couple of these actors are.
So I present these without comment.
