Well folks, we’ve done it. This is the final installment of my Cinematic Century project. Over the past two years we’ve discussed one hundred films, one for every year between 1918 and 2018, and entire century of favorite films. We’ve seen the ebbs and flows of cinema, journeyed to several different countries (but embarrassingly…

We’re down to our last two entries of Cinematic Century folks, which means we’re talking about a bunch of movies that really feels like I just saw them the other day. This site was in full force in 2017, I ended up seeing dozens of movies that were released that year, and I even ended…

We’re in the home stretch of Cinematic Century here, folks. Only a handful of weeks left, and we’ve now reached a very odd little period of time, when this site was up and running and I was even making my favorite films of the year lists. Which means that I’ve actually already identified a favorite…

Last week I threw a bit of a curve-ball, going with a movie that I would wager most people haven’t seen. And, this week I’ve ended up changing things up by picking one of the most beloved and popular films of the year, the absolutely unhinged masterpiece, Mad Max: Fury Road. We’re also hit a weird…

We’re in the home stretch folks, one last month of these Cinematic Century articles, and just a few more favorite films to discuss. And, I have to admit, 2014 is probably the biggest curve-ball I’ve thrown in a while. Lately it feels like I’ve been talking about some of the biggest films of any…

There are a few creators who tend to pop up pretty frequently over the course of this project. Directors who really connect with me, and whose work is a reliable source of entertainment and inspiration. The Coen Brothers are that type of creators, two men who make almost the exact type of movies that…

We’re still in this final era of Cinematic Century where I’m forced to confront the unstoppable march of time, looking at lists of movies that I swear I saw in theaters just a couple years ago, but which were almost a solid decade old. It’s a weird time, but boy oh boy does 2012…
-
I’ve been in a fascinating position the last few weeks of Cinematic Century, because I’m looking through movies that I have vivid memories of seeing in theaters, while also feeling like I’m about to be turned into dust with the realization that these films that feel like I saw them just a year or…
-
It’s really been a trip doing this project here in the last few weeks, because I’ve gotten to check back in on really recent years, getting insane flashbacks to viewing experiences and trips to the theater than honestly weren’t that long ago, and yet feel like they’re from another lifetime. Looking up the potential…

We’re nearing the end of this project folks, less than ten more of these to go, and it seems like here in the more recent chapter of the world of cinema I’m going to be given fairly easy problems to solve. There aren’t as many insane competitions, pitting masterpieces together for me to toss and…
