“This one goes to 11.”
Well, it kinda had to because I wanted to include each of the films I watched at the just concluded Women Texas Film Festival. That just seemed to make sense. Prior to that it were some favorites (YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and ED WOOD), a classic I had never seen (CARMEN JONES), and the latest in state-of-the-art ass-kicking no the big screen (ATOMIC BLONDE).
You know, the usual.

No I didn’t go to the WTFF but I did see The Poseidon Adventure, Yes Madam, Come Drink with Me, Our Young Auntie, Hapkido, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (have a feeling Justina will love this just as much as I did), Prick Up Your Ears, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Limestone Golem, and a Slipknot concert movie I walked out on.
KIP MOONEY for the win, playing the game all the way and letting us in on HOW he saw the films as well… How was NOCTURNAL ANIMALS? Haven’t seen that one yet.
