Lisa’s Week In Review: 9/28/20 — 10/4/20


The first four days of our annual Horrorthon are in the book and wow, am I exhausted!

October is my favorite month of the year, specifically because this is the month when I really, really push myself to the point of blissful exhaustion.  You know that feeling when you feel like you’re about to collapse and then suddenly, you get a new bust of energy?  Those are the moments that I live for.  By the way, did I mention that I’m too mentally exhausted to make any sense tonight?  Just something to keep in mind….

Lisa’s Week In Review: 8/24/20 — 8/30/20


Rest in Peace, Chadwick Boseman.  I’m still processing the news of his passing.  I think every film lover is.

On a more positive note, I hosted the #ScarySocial live tweet this weekend and I got a chance to share one of my favorite Italian horror film, StageFright, with a whole new audience of people.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy the film, which made me feel great.  It reminded me of why I write about movies in the first place.  There’s no greater feeling than introducing someone to a film or a book or any other work of art that they might have otherwise missed.

Lisa’s Week In Review: 8/17/20 — 8/23/20


Look Cinema, R.I.P.

Another week comes to an end.

I’m a little bit sad because I learned that one of my favorite theaters — my beloved Look Cinema — has gone out of business as a result of the pandemic.  Look was my favorite theater to go to.  It was like the Alamo Drafthouse but not as expensive and usually with less hipsters in the audience.  The last film that I saw in a theater was at Look Cinema.  And now it’s gone.

Supposedly, the theaters down here will be reopening at the end of the upcoming week.  Personally, I’m not ready to go back yet.  If theater can remain open for a month without it resulting in another wave of infections, I’ll consider taking the risk.  If that means that I’m late seeing Tenet …. well, that sucks.  Because I really want to see Tenet.  But safety first.

Here’s what I watched and read and listened to this week:

Films I Watched:

  1. Birds of Prey (2020)
  2. Club Paradise (1945)
  3. The Day After (1983)
  4. Denounced: Rise of the Horsemen (2017)
  5. Detour (1945)
