The idea for this article came out of how many films I have been watching lately in an effort to up my film IQ. I am not watching these films to be any kind of film historian, but to just have an overall knowledge of movies. It is also a nice way to make up for how many bad films I have to watch.
I will still continue to do my Cinematic Revival editorials as well as hopefully bring you more of these recap pieces. My larger goal is to begin writing full reviews for all of these films when I don’t write up the longer Cinematic Revival essays to improve on my writing as well as bolster my list of written reviews.
That said, here is a look at what I watched at home last week and if you have any films to recommend that you watched recently (it doesn’t have to be last week) that you think I should check out, please list them in the comment section below. Very often that is how I build my Netflix queue. It’s the reason I covered David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (read that here) to name a few.
