First Time Watches: September 2019

Image
It’s been a long time since I wrote one of these posts. There was a lot of stuff going on with me over the summer and well into September, but I’m now back at it. I’m back to writing about more than just bad movies. I’m back to writing about some not-so-bad movies alongside the bad movies. That’s a good thing. That’s some extra writing from me getting out there. Whether you like my writing or you don’t, I just like to have it out there. And that’s where this post comes in. I have tried, over the past few years, to write about the movies I watched for the first time over the course of a month. This is one of those instances. I’ll be writing about my first time watches from the month of September 2019. That’s more than two years ago now. I know that. I fell behind. Don’t judge me. I’m going to keep pushing to try and catch up over the next couple months, and maybe end up near enough now that there’s no shame in writing these posts anymore. Throughout September, I saw a handful of fil

Power Rangers Zeo: Episode 13: Mean Screen

In the previous episode of Power Rangers Zeo , Adam tried to get to the bottom of mystery music at Angel Grove High. He discovered that the mystery musician was Skull, who was a terrific piano player. Skull didn’t want people to know, though, because he thought they would make fun of him. Adam convinced him to perform in the school’s talent show and everyone loved it. Now it’s time for something a little bit different. There won’t be any Skull playing the piano. That was a one-episode thing. Instead, there will be something related to a screen. So, either a computer or a television. I say that because the bad guys are The Machine Empire and those are machines. I could be wrong, but they seem like good guesses. The only way to know for sure, though, is to check out… Episode 13: Mean Screen Adam and Tanya were in the Angel Grove High School library, learning how to use the internet. It was 1996. The internet was still in its early stages of public use. Tanya opened a random link, wh

First Time Watches: August 2019

I’m nearly two years out from when I should have written this post. In those two years, a lot of things changed. One, I went to a few film festivals to promote the short films I made while in school. Two, a pandemic shut down most of the world for a good chunk of time and we’re still reeling from the effects of that. Three, people died, people were born, and people came in and out of my life. That’s not even everything. But I’m a different person than I was two years ago. Anyone would be, in that time. That doesn’t mean I’m just going to scrap this post. Oh no. I’m still going to write about my first time watches from August 2019. I’m still going to go over each movie I watched for the first time and give some of my super distanced thoughts about them. That’s just what I do. It’s what I write, sometimes. And it’s what I’ll be catching up on in this third lockdown in Ontario. I’m going to get some of these posts out there. Throughout August 2019, I saw sixteen different movies for t
