Midpoint


We're halfway through 2018, and I wanted to compile a list of my Top 20 favorite movies of the year (so far). I've seen about 40 2018 films, so this is roughly half of them, ranked. I've enjoyed all of them, for varying reasons.

Right, here we go...

1. Lean on Pete
2. Won't You Be My Neighbor?
3. Ready Player One
4. Black Panther
5. Annihilation
6. First Reformed
7. Book Club
8. Love, Simon
9. Paddington 2
10. Oh Lucy!
11. Game Night
12. Beast
13. The Party
14. Hereditary
15. Unsane
16. Hotel Artemis
17. Tully
18. Avengers: Infinity War
19. Ocean's 8
20. Deadpool 2

It should be interesting to see what the rest of 2018 has in store at the box office.

Watching The Hours

A Twitter friend named Paula has asked for folks to submit ideas for a blog-a-thon about what we think will be the classic films of the future. In other words, what relatively recent movies (namely, from the 21st century), do we think will be considered classics in the decades to come, possibly airing on such venerable stations as Turner Classic Movies ? While a number of films come to mind for such a category, one in particular stood out from the rest, and thus is my entry for Paula's blog-a-thon.

Yesterday's Restaurants

The local newspaper has a feature from one of Champaign-Urbana's most legendary restaurateur's, John Katsinas, on what his favorite area restaurants were that have now since closed (or will soon be closing).  It's a nice little read, and has made me stop and think about the restaurants that have come and gone that have left an indelible (and edible) impression on me throughout the years. Here we go....

Top 10 Songs of 2012

It was a pretty solid year for music. Nothing too extraordinary, but lots of consistent goodness. When it came time to compile my list of favorite songs from 2011 , it felt as though I had to perhaps stretch it a bit in order to come up with ten tracks. With 2012, I'm leaving things on the cutting room floor. It is with great pleasure therefore that I present to you my favorite bits of music from the recently-departed 2012. Hope you find something you like!
