Wow. Where have I been? I knew I was a bit behind on these movie journal entries, but I had no idea that I was three weeks behind. In my defense, I do have an excuse. I just quit my job, and then just started a new job, while at the same time, starting another side job that will kind of keep me busy sporadically.

So I’ve been lucky to even be able to watch any movies, let alone write about them.

If you look at the movies that I’ve viewed these past three weeks though, I think you’ll get a better picture of the kind of stuff that interests me, more so than some weeks would show. Five of the nine movies listed here were first time viewings and I’ve been lucky enough to actually enjoy all of them on some level.

In fact, I’ve enjoyed two of them enough to write full reviews* (Inside and The Ruins), something I’m going to try to do more often.

Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to write a little more in the upcoming weeks than I’ve been lately. I’m still in the midst of training at this new job, so studying for my testing and whatnot for that is going to have to take priority** but, hey, it’s like Mr. Torrence said “All work and no play…”

As mentioned, I’m going to try to write more short reviews for films (I won’t bore you with 2000 word diatribes), trying to stick to movies that I either have never seen or that it’s been so long since seeing it that watching it again is practically like watching it for the first time.

And now, I’m off to watch film #1 for week 19. As usual, you’ll find all of the trailers for the films mentioned here, after the jump.
