February wrap-up

Here we are, at the end of February, though, as you can see from the date stamp, I am actually writing this in April.

I would definitely say that my great fault of procrastination has reared its ugly head, not in the watching of the films, but in the writing about them. Some of them I have written about right away, but then there are earlier ones that I haven’t put down my thoughts on, and if enough time goes by, I don’t remember any of those thoughts, and then I have to make time to watch the movie again, and all is ashes, ashes.

But I am soldiering through like the brave little toaster that I am.

February was Disney month, with my goal of watching fourteen Disney films in the twenty-eight days of the month, and I actually managed to watch sixteen, go me! Nine animated films, three hybrid animation/live action, three live action, and one nature documentary.

Here are the movies I watched in order of excellence, with the new to me (or occasionally I might have watched it, but I am not entirely certain), and then re-watches.

Now, the theme for March is Movies From 2020, as I saw nearly no new films actually in 2020, so the goal is to watch a minimum of fifteen. I wonder what is going to happen? (Again, don’t look at that date stamp!)
