It’s become a tradition that we spend most of February watching new-to-us movie month. We kicked off this month with a short list of 100 movies that we wanted to watch. Here’s what we’ve watched so far:

A Tuba to Cuba - Fascinating documentary about New Orleans jazz and Cuba, history and connections. Perfect fit for our jazz study this February.

Akira - J convince me to watch it. I’m not a huge Anime fan, but I do know that this is essential viewing. Definitely a good movie.

The Commuter - Totally forgettable Liam Neeson movie full of plot holes.

Bang Bang Baby - What a strangely wonderful movie. The ending really threw me, but totally makes sense in retrospect.

Rush - Yet another car racing movie that I didn’t know I needed to watch, but really really enjoyed.

The Boy Band Con - Another fascinating documentary that got a lot darker than I thought it would.

Freaks of Nature - A super fun B horror movie. I really enjoyed this one for the entertainment value. Especially loved Patton Oswalt’s cameo.

Terminal - An Alice in Wonderland inspired thriller. We had fun deciding who each character was supposed to be. I think Simon Pegg’s character was supposed to be Lewis Carroll himself.

Fantasy Island - Pretty forgettable horror movie full of plot holes.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Not the biggest fan of Quentin Tarantino, but this one was really good. I loved the ending.

Willy’s Wonderland - That was so fucking weird. But I do appreciate Nic Cage’s nonsense.
