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.
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.
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.
I’m late making this post, it’s been a busy September. Initially, I didn’t have a theme when I selected the movies for this month. Then I noticed that of the 5 movies I had originally picked, 4 of them had female leads. Therefore, I dropped Sneakers (which is a good movie, btw) for Salt so I could have a female lead mystery film month. Let’s get started.
I can’t believe it’s already August. The summer goes by so fast but movie selections for July were a “roaring” good time. I decided to start way back in 1993 with the first Jurassic Park movie. All the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies were the selections for July. I mean, who doesn’t like dinosaurs? Make sure you read until the very end because this time I have some final thoughts about this franchise.
There are also some bonus/special event movies this month so be sure to check out that section too.
These movies are also great selections for Halloween month. Vampires and lycan (aka werewolves) are just as easily fantasy as they are horror. April snuck up on me fast so I had to make a quick decision as to the theme for Fantasy month. I hadn’t watched the Underworld movies in a while so it felt like a good time for a refresher.
There are five movies in the Underworld franchise. As I did for the Lethal Weapon movies, instead of doing them all individually, I am going to discuss them in a couple of groups. I will explain in a bit.
Before I go into each film, one of the things I like most about all of them is the pacing. They don’t stretch out the slower moments needed to move the plot along. The action almost feels non-stop which helps keep my attention.
