Another year, another haul of movies to watch and I have not been disappointed. Well, I guess I have because as you'll see once again I've listed each movie I've watched under the sub-headings: "Loved," "Liked," "Meh," and "Not for me". But I've certainly loved more than I've hated. From new releases to filling the historical gaps in my film watching knowledge, as well as several rewatches for work, book writing or simply enjoyment purposes.
Cinema continues to be the ultimate source of my cultural happiness.
Although it would be remiss of me to not mention a few stellar TV series that have sparked serious joy and wonder. Here's looking at you Station Eleven, Andor, Mythic Quest, I Hate Suzie Too, Miss Marvel, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Mo, The Afterparty, Dead End: Paranormal Park, The Great North, The Bear, Derry Girls, Ramy and Archive 81 (RIP).
OK, enough jabbering. Here it is: every movie I watched in 2022
