CM Update – Week 5

I’ve reached my goal of posting on the site every day of January; now, I’m into February, and it’s becoming a struggle to keep up. And to get any sleep. I had to make a couple posting changes last week, so the week ahead will see five reviews posted, one of which is a made-for-TV chiller from 1975, and another an entry for the Oh, Canada! blogathon, hosted by Speakeasy and Silver Screenings. On Wednesday I’ll feature an article where I discuss a trip I took to Tucson back in 2009, where I did some heavy-duty movie-going for the day.

My January movie watching totals were a little slim, only because I was busy with the site, and most of what I did watch was to refresh my memory for reviews that I’d already started to write in 2017. Of the 13 movies I saw, only three were not for reviews: The Last Jedi, the Tony Curtis comedy 40 Pounds of Trouble, and an independent adventure-comedy from last year called Dave Made a Maze.

And check out the chart below: each dark square represents a day I posted on the CM site. As you can see, my best month in 2017, from March to December, was July, with five posts. Now jump to January…hey, I’ve never seen that before!
