April was an odd moviegoing month.  After my busiest month in recent memory (launching Review the World 2.0) in March I'd set my sights on getting caught up on a lot of films.  Unfortunately I fell short of my aspirations by quite a bit.  I often wasn't able to even start movies until around 1AM and I'm usually up by 5-7:30AM so was often too tired to finish anything in a single setting (don't even get me started on Lincoln which I unsuccessfully attempted several times and finally had to return the Blu-ray to the library due to mounting late fees but will revisit).  

I'm refocused for May and intend on having a strong month.  Besides newer releases and things that pique my interest (got a bunch of direct-to-DVD Disney sequels I'm inexplicably curious about) I've also compiled a list off of TSPDT's 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films countdown of all the films I've never seen off of it and will be putting many of them into my rotation in the months to come.  Excited about that.  Have a great month and grab me some Buncha Crunch and a small buttered popcorn and I'll meet you in the middle aisle!

Busiest month I've had in years. Spent much of it working on and launching my new website Review the World 2.0 so go check that out! Still squeezed in some quality (and some trashy) cinema. I intend on catching back up in April with 30-40 films.
