October started with potential. I even made a list of movies to watch throughout the month. Sadly, I failed my mission, only raking in 10 movies altogether. I could still meet my end of year goal, which I would like to do. But with my next 2 weeks being on vacation, that will only leave the last 6 weeks of the year to watch 35 movies.
With all that said, let's take a look at the month of October.
Most of the month was spent watching horror. I also took the time and finished season 2 of Hannibal, which was probably the best thing I watched for the month. I did get a few good movies in, and all put one of the horror movies watched were new to me.
It's a hard choice for best view of the month, as I'm being torn between Dead Heat and Dark Night of the Scarecrow. Both are really good films. I was surprised I had never seen Dead Heat before. It fits into all kinds of genres that I am a fan of, plus has Vincent Price. Dark Night is a made-for-tv movie with some excellent atmosphere and great acting. It's too tough to call.
I also got around to taking Elizabeth to see Guardians of the Galaxy, which still holds up and is a fun movie. Not sure what the last film I saw 3 times while it was in theaters was.
Not a horribly bad movie, but Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III gets my vote for worst of the month. It just really didn't do much for the franchise, plus after watching the short making of feature on the dvd and seeing how the studio cut the movie prior to release and didn't allow the full vision of the director, it could've actually been a better movie.
I will be on hiatus until mid-November, as I am about to leave for 2 weeks in Hawaii and Vegas. Probably will write an update upon my return, but I don't plan on spending a lot of time online while on vacation.
