Featuring the films and television shows:
Selma, Thor: The Dark World, Jessica Jones, The Hateful
Eight, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Beasts of No Nation, Brooklyn, Love
& Mercy, The Revenant, The Big Short, Astor Barber All-Stars, Kazaam, Bone
Tomahawk, Galaxy Quest, Mad Max: Fury Road, Streets of Fire, Cutthroat Island,
Clouds of Sils Maria, Lost River, and Anomalisa.
I fear I’ve already failed with this new feature as I forgot
to tweet many of the films I watched in January and I intended to do this as a
weekly post for those who don’t follow me on Twitter. But better late than
never, I suppose. I should have a new set for my first week in February ready
soon. Like my old Penny Thoughts feature, these aren’t necessarily reviews as
much as quick impressions in 140 characters or less. I’ve retained all
hashtags, which sometimes refer to podcasts and other people and things related
to each film. I’m also participating in Doug Benson’s 366 movies in 366 days
challenge, which he does for one of his podcasts. You’ll notice the numbering
system show up in the latter half of the month, so you will also be able to
follow my progress in this challenge. I’ve definitely watched a film a day in a
year before. I’ve reviewed a film a day before, but I’ve never really tracked
it like this during a leap year. Again, it’s important to remember for the
challenge that I forgot to post a bunch of the films I watched in the middle of
the month.
1/1
#selmamovie
is unique in the way it details how the civil rights movement leaders
methodically worked to achieve their goals. Powerful.
#ThorTheDarkWorld
very enjoyable the second time around. Nice use of humor throughout.
1/2
#JessicaJones
is one of the best television shows of 2015. A badass feminist agenda that
further enriches the mysterious MCU.
Closed room mystery and rich dialogue abound in QT's latest
opus #TheHatefulEight.
Sure wish I could've seen the roadshow.
#captainamericthewintersoldier
holds up well as a 70s style espionage flick on super soldier serum. Can't wait
for #CaptainAmericaCivilWar
1/3
If you're looking to feel like you don't have any real
problems, check out the excellent Netflix original movie #BeastsOfNoNation
.

It seems General Hux has aims to prevent a #BrooklynMovie
awakening as well.
1/7
What an amazing story told of Brian Wilson's life in the
visionary film #LoveandMercy
about the troubled Beach Boys frontman.
1/8
Is there an end-of-2015 release that Domhnall Gleeson isn't
in? #theRevenantMovie
1/9
Well, that didn't make me feel good about the future if this
country at all. #TheBigShort

2015 was an amazing year for the western. #BoneTomahawk
adds to the excellence.
"Let's get out of here before they kill Guy." #GalaxyQuest.
And in honor of Alan Rickman... "Next!"

Watched #MadMaxFuryRoad3D
again, and I'm still convinced it's the best movie of 2015.
1/26
Saw it many times as a kid thanks to #HBO. Now #StreetsofFire
seems like a mighty effort for little effect. #HDTGM #DLMChallenge

With respect to the late great Gene Siskel, #CutthroatIsland
was not the wonderful swashbuckling adventure he promised. #DLMchallange

Anyone who thinks Kristen Stewart isn't a good actress needs
to see #cloudsofsilsmaria.
César deserved. Oscar snubbed. #DLMChallenge
No. 29
1/29
#LostRiver is
an oddly energy-sapped Lynchian nightmare written & directed by Ryan
Gosling. Beautiful but a little dull #DLMchallenge
No. 30
#Anomalisa is
a complete examination of the human condition made from a very specific point
of view. #DLMchallenge
No. 31
