For those that know me, it is no secret that I love to go to the movies. This year, I was lucky enough to watch about 24 movies (mostly) in theaters. In these last few days before the new year, I will be sharing my thoughts on these films, from the good, to the bad, to the mediocre. To keep things manageable, I will be breaking things up into a few different posts based on the original release dates for the films. I do have to be up front about one thing, most of the films on this list are popular releases, unfortunately I didn’t have as many opportunities to see “indie” and “art house” films as I would have liked, and I have only seen a handful of films that would actually be nominated for awards.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on any of the films discussed here. Feel free to reach out to me here or on social media.

I hope you’ve enjoyed joining me on my journey through the movies I had a chance to watch in 2016. In 2017, I hope to make it to the movies at least once a week and provide a short form review for a movie worth talking about every other week. This was a labor of love, but I know it wasn’t perfect. Feel free to share any feedback you have for me on this series so that I can make improvements and provide better content in the future!
Sigh, writing 24 reviews in six days really takes it out of you, glad it’s finally time for an intermission.
