Hello, and thank you for peeking in today.

How are you today? I hope you stay productive, read a good book, drink plenty of water, get enough rest, and remain positive in this chaotic environment.

QUOTE FOR TODAY
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (1986)

Movies, movies, movies...there are so many choices when it comes to what you want to see and in what genre.  I mostly favor horror, suspense, action, and a few independent films. It doesn’t always have to be the big-budget blockbuster.  It can be the sleeper hit that no one saw coming.

My daughter and I love our movie-binge days during the holidays.  But who needs a holiday to enjoy a movie?  Any excuse is good for me.  With that, I’ve curated a small list of films that have piqued my interest.  Here’s what’s on my list, so far.

Most of the movies I want to see are newer, and this is only a fraction of my overall list, which is growing by the day.  At some point, I’ll write a post listing all the movies I want to see (in my lifetime), but that’s for another day.

Key = 👀 [seen it]

This is an ambitious list, to say the least. However, if movies are streaming, it makes it easier.  The Conjuring isn’t until September, so that movie is a bonus. I don’t LOVE the theater, but I’m not opposed to it either. My preferred time is during an off day in the middle of the week.  (perfect) My list, except one, consists only of movies that premiered in March and April—so more flicks to come.

What are you excited to see this season, and do you prefer going out to the theater or being cozy at home?  Let me know in the comments.

With that, I’ll end here.  Thanks so much for visiting today, and don’t forget to follow the blog.  Until next time.  — Duces ✌🏾
