For Drama Month (2025) all the selections are biopics. I’m a sucker for a good biopic ranging from presidents, mafia figures, sports stars, and serial killers. A couple of those are among the selections this year. The special event movie for the month is Groundhog Day (“again”).
There are many great biopic movies out there and February is a short month. Picking among so many is difficult. Check out this year’s list.
Here we are, at the start of a new year, and we kick things off with Science Fiction movies. Although aliens are the central theme of four of these films, I didn’t go with a specific motif this year (although I already did an alien-themed selection last year). I just picked movies that I’ve wanted to see or movies I haven’t seen in a while. Be that as it may, here is the list, so you can skip around if you want.
Christmas is my favorite time of year and probably the month when I watch the most movies, including May when I watch all 11 Star Wars movies.
As always there are default movies that I watch every year. For any movie that doesn’t appear on the “default” list, I will write a short review as I’ve been doing for all the previous months.
Let’s get started.
Earlier this year we lost the legendary James Earl Jones (93), the voice of Darth Vader. Therefore the selections for November all have James Earl Jones (minus Star Wars). There are so many to choose from because he shows up in so many movies in minor roles. In fact, I don’t think I own or have seen, a movie where he is in the starring role. Be that as it may, let’s check out this year’s list for random movie month.
October is the month for scary movies and candy. Hopefully, I indulge more in the former and less in the latter. However, I’m not a huge fan of scary movies. I’ll watch films that are maybe a little eerie, absurd, or fun but I generally avoid slashers and the deeply disturbing. The occasional thriller isn’t bad. Just like movie selections for Christmas, there will always be default choices. At any rate, let’s get on with the list.
If the words “Wax On, Wax Off” don’t mean anything to you then you might be too young for this list. Growing up in the 80’s it was a mantra all kids knew. “Don’t forget to breathe, in through nose, out through mouth.” We all wanted to be Danny LaRusso and we all wanted a Mr. Miyagi to teach us where karate comes from. These movies took me back.
I was in Taekwondo more than 20 years ago and I still remember some of it. I hope to convince my daughter to take some form of self-defense and I might even join her. Despite my age, my knees are much better today than they were when I first took Taekwondo. All of the running I have been doing has made them stronger. Anyway, enough reminiscing, let’s talk about the Karate Kid movies.
