Before I binge watch something like a dozen films in four or five days before I make my contribution to a Dallas film fest collective’s “Best of 2018” list, here are the last ten films I’ve watched. It’s pretty random (as is typical with me) inspired by thoughts of “Have I seen the director’s cut?” (WATCHMEN), or “That’s a classic screwball comedy I’ve never actually seen..” (THE AWFUL TRUTH), to Nic Roeg dying (PERFORMANCE), finding a film at the theater that my wife and I could both agree on (THE FRONT RUNNER), re-watching a favorite documentary of mine (DEPALMA), being at a theater and asking which film is literally in previews right now so I can immediately see it without waiting a half hour (THE FAVOURITE), to checking out a film that a lot of friends spoke highly of (THE DEATH OF STALIN).
Because sometimes, that’s how this stuff happens…
