Finally! She writes! Apologies for ghosting y’all. I come bearing tidings and definitely not-new-to-me film recs. Read on

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! My #LastFourWatched are all repeats, but I did get in one new-to-me flick this week: Silver Bullet, based on a Stephen King story with a screenplay by him. I enjoyed it! Plus, Megan Follows is in it!

It’s #LetterboxdFriday in October, which means more horror! I finally saw CASPER for the first time and I enjoyed it much more than Hocus Pocus. #LastFourWatched

#LetterboxdFriday already?! I managed to get in one new-to-me — Robert Altman’s Popeye — for my #LastFourWatched. All of these were viewed with my Bestie and the first three films we watched IRL on my birthday last Saturday! ❤️

Joanne Thornborough @cinelitchick.bsky.social · 26d

This #LetterboxdFriday, my #LastFourWatched includes one new-to-me film, one trilogy, and one fun spooky season animated flick that doesn’t get enough love

In that case, I hope he’s at peace

#LetterboxdFriday sees the return of RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE to my #LastFourWatched. (I honestly never ever tire of it.) THE HAUNTED STRANGLER (aka THE GRIP OF THE STRANGLER) is a fun, old-school horror/mystery with Boris Karloff that I definitely recommend

My deepest condolences. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad two years ago, so I have an idea what you might be going through 🫂🫂🫂

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Only managed to watch three movies this week. My two rewatches were bangers, while the new-to-me flick was entertaining yet not particularly memorable despite a fun lead turn by Denzel Washington

Joanne Thornborough @cinelitchick.bsky.social · Sep 8

Denzel is living his best life as an actor these past few years. HIGHEST 2 LOWEST continues him along this path and with his favorite (and best) collaborator. A solid, entertaining Spike Lee joint that deserves the largest audience possible.

#LetterboxdFriday is here! A great #LastFourWatched includes two new-to-me films — both by the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. After seeing MARNIE, I’m curious about others in his late period

THIS. SO. MUCH. THIS.

Listen, all paranormal investigators are grifters and con artists. Catholic Church? Crooks. Exorcists? Snake oil salesman.

Let me enjoy my creepy demon nail-bitey popcorn movies and count how many times Patrick Wilson shouts “Lorrr-RRRRainne” in peace

Hooray for #LetterboxdFriday! I managed to gather enough for a #LastFourWatched this week. All comfort watches, yet it’s a minute or longer since I’ve seen most of them

I just rewatched it again the other night. JLC is a revelation from start to finish!

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! I’m still rewatching movies, but I did manage to squeak in a new-to-me flick for my #LastFourWatched

Joanne Thornborough @cinelitchick.bsky.social · Aug 2

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Still in the middle of my comfort watch era, but for my #LastFourWatched I managed at least one new-to-me film. MATILDA is a sweet, magical delight. If you’ve never given it a chance, make sure you do.

Happy Birthday, @bryanfuller.bsky.social!!! 🎉🎁🥂 From grim reapers to talking tchotchkes to a certain pie maker to murder husbands and beyond, you’ve given all of us so much joy. I hope you have felt even a fraction of that joy today of all days. Much love, from one diehard Fannibal to another!! 💖💖

Joanne Thornborough @cinelitchick.bsky.social · Jul 25

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! I’ve been in comfort mode of late, but I still managed two new-to-me watches. All in all, a very good week. #LastFourWatched

Watching E.T. for the first time since it was in theaters and in a just world M&Ms would have gone out of business for turning down the amazing product placement Reese’s Pieces got. They thought they were too good for E.T. to eat?? There punishment awaits in the kingdom of Hell
