Over the course of the dozens of Cinematic Century posts that I’ve made, I’ve have had to make some really tough calls. The whole point of these articles is to select a favorite film from every year, which sometimes means pitting several movies that could possibly claim […]
Note: This article more or less ran as an installment of Film Library, because it seemed ridiculous to write a similarly structured article about the same movie twice. Only once before during this Cinematic Century project was I compelled to be a tad lazy, and more […]
The last few weeks here at Cinematic Century have been incredibly difficult. We’re dealing with several years that have just been jam-packed with movies that I not only love, but that have had massive impacts on me as a fan of movies. Which, has led to lot […]
It can sometimes be frustrating working my way through this project, because there are certain directors who just keep getting the sort end of the stick. It felt like I spend a huge portion of this list alternating between Hitchcock and Wilder movies, while potentially meaning that […]

Every week here on Cinematic Century I talk to you all about my favorite film from each year. But, today we’re getting to talk about one of my favorite films, period. Not just in the context of 1950. I really and truly love all the movies I’ve […]
Magic! Grudges! Obsession! Teleportation! These things were enough to inspire me to do another Film Library entry, something I haven’t done in way too long. I don’t know where the time went, but I realized recently that I hadn’t done one of these since last Christmas when […]
It can be frustrating being a movie fan in one of the parts of the country that apparently aren’t worthy of getting all the “awards season” movies on time. It seems like January is primary built to be a dumping ground for all of the films that […]
Growing up I had two television shows that I absolutely adored, and that I really think shaped my sense of humor, and really more of my personality. There’s the Simpsons, which I obviously talk about far too much, and Mystery Science Theater 3000, which I actually don’t talk about much […]
