ANNOUNCING FINUARY

 THAT'S RIGHT, GANG(PLANKS)! 

The month of February, for me, will be "Shittee Shark Movie Month" where I will try to watch as many shittee shark movies as I have managed to gather in my net!  And that's a chum bucket full of waterlogged, bitey goodness (or is that BADness???).  So stay tuna-d because this post will float to the top of the blog come the end of February to let you know how I did. . . and, if indeed, I managed to survive!    

January 2025 Top Ten List

 HERE ARE ALL THE MOVIES I WATCHED FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN JANUARY 2025: 

1.  SOUNDTRACK FOR A COUP D'ETAT (2024)
2. HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS  (2022)
3. MY NAME IS ALFRED HITCHCOCK  (2022)
4. THE POOCH  (1932) *
5. CONCLAVE  (2024)
6. ELTON JOHN:  NEVER TOO LATE  (2024)
7. SATURDAY NIGHT  (2024)
8. CHOO-CHOO!  (1932) *
9. KOREA:  THE NEVER-ENDING WAR  (2019)
10. THE MARTHA MITCHELL EFFECT  (2022)

* Just a note regarding the appearance of two short subjects on this top ten list, since I usually only include feature films.  Well, I simply didn't watch that much this month (spending most of it reading booky-books) and rather than put 3 stars films on my top ten, I decided to go with higher rated short subjects.  So sue me! 

And here is everything else I watched in January. . .

And starting this year, I'm also going to put everything I read during the Month of January on these posts as well . . . since this year I'll be focussing more on reading a LOT of books.  This year's reading challenge is to read 100 books so here we go...
