I’m catching up here (after the holidays, naturally) and didn’t realize I hadn’t posted my ten latest list, so there will be nearly two posts back-to-back, but whatevs, right?
This one includes the last couple of films I caught at Indie Memphis, the L.A. Premiere of QUALITY PROBLEMS at New Filmmakers L.A., a benefit screening of FERRIS BUELLER to benefit my friend, and Dallas’s legendary personality Devin Pike, some eclectic choices on VOD and DVD, the first holiday movie, and the irony of watching Chris Nolan’s totally shot in film DUNKIRK on a plane as I headed home from Los Angeles.
So, let me see your latest ten films watched before some “shot on film” zealot or a Kodak ninja offs me in retaliation…

I had the flu last week, so there was a fair amount of mindless, comfort movie watching, many of which I don’t even recall because, y’know, flu. But here are the last ten I do remember:
Robocop
Die Hard
Seven Psychopaths
What we do in the shadows
Blade of the Immortal
Last Jedi
Logan Lucky
The Villainess
Three Billboards
The Square
Since you had the flu, I’m assuming you didn’t try the paschetti while watching WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS…
