Back in 2017, I started keeping a list of the movies that I watched. I’m not sure why I did it, but I did. I think I was just curious about how many hours a year I spent watching movies.
I thought it’d be interesting for me to look back on the first half of 2020 and the movies that I watched along with the books that I’ve read.

Thoughts: So far I’ve watched 82 movies this year. Of those 74 movies, 63 of the films I’ve never seen before. Looking over the list, my favorite movie of the year has been Ready or Not. That movie was an absolute blast to watch and it was totally unexpected. My least favorite movie was The Color of Space. I knew a wild Lovecraftian film starring Nicholas Cage would probably not be my cup of tea, but I watched it anyway. It’s an impressive piece of filmmaking but just not my type of movie.

Thoughts: I spent some time talking about reading on June 8th. I started off this year reading a ton and then it fell off pretty quickly. Since that blog post, I’ve read five books (and a graphic novel) which makes me feel like I’m back on track. So far my favorite book that I’ve read this year was By Darkness Forged by Nathan Lowell.
