Some Movies I Missed in 2016

            It has been awhile, and at the end of the holiday season no less! Gone with the festivities, the days off, and the indigestion, but at the very least, there was plenty of time to catch up with some of the great films released over the year. Well, hypothetically speaking. The big downside this year was that so many films like Phantom Thread, Call Me By Your Name, The Post, and Paddington 2, are not reaching Orlando until well into January, which is disappointing. What’s the point of even having an end of doing a top list or retrospective when release dates are this arbitrary, and where’s my Paddington 2!?  Granted, this problem is nothing new as every year so many great films get little or sometimes no chance to screen here in Florida. So as a fun experiment, instead of catching up on the 2017 releases, I spent much of my holiday catching up with some of the films I missed in 2016 and review those instead.

My Top 10 2016 (the Late A.F Blog edition)

            It is April Fools Day, so why am I writing my Top 10 for 2016 now? Apparently, my roommate thought it was a funny prank to change all the dates on my planner in order to make me think that it was still 2016. So I thought I had plenty of time to write this down in a relevant manner. In hindsight, it was weird that the Oscars happened in December, but that’s what I get for not paying attention. Sadly, this rush job has forced me to skip a couple films. Films like Cameraperson, The Love Witch, Manchester By The Sea, Certain Women, 20th Century Women, OJ: Made in America and The Greasy Strangler certainly sound brilliant enough to land on this list; there is only so much time for watching movies.

September Pre-Hurricane Movie Update 2016

             I guess I have to apologize twice over today; one for the fact that this is later than expected and once more for rushing to complete this post before Hurricane Matthew takes out my Wi-Fi connection. So without wasting too much time, here is what I saw in September
