2014: My Year In Film
Just as I do every year, I charted my Film Quest throughout 2014, tracking each of the movies I saw for the first time. Unlike previous years, I challenged myself […]
The BLOB (1958) [FQ’14 #107]
Not a huge fan of horror films, I’ve avoided seeing THE BLOB until recently, and what I found was not what I was expecting. At all. My in-laws take some […]
Sunshine (2007) [FQ14 #95]

As the original X-Men trilogy and the “Origins” films merge timelines, can they avoid clutter and confusion? Why I Saw It: I’ve seen and enjoyed each of the X-Men films they’ve […]
Locke (2014): Fear Not The One-Man Show [FQ14 #62]
