September 2022 Recap

Fall is officially in full swing. Here’s a look at my movie watching and reviewing in September, when I caught up on a bunch of 2022 films.

Last month: August 2022 Recap

Reviews:

• The Goods published 30 reviews and 1 capsule in September. The average “Is It Good?” score was a 4.9, or a low-end “Good”
• New releases reviewed included Pinocchio, Do Revenge, Fall, and Look Both Ways. I also caught up with several 2022 releases, all reviewed here: 2022: Year in Film.
• Best new release reviewed: Decision to Leave
• Worst new release reviewed: Pinocchio
• Best classic first-time watch reviewed: The Lighthouse (or Fantastic Planet if 2019 is too recent for “classic”)
• Best rewatch reviewed: The Social Network
• Ongoing Review Projects include my Tom Hanks retrospective and a catch-up of 2022 movies I’ve missed.

Podcast:

• The Goods: A Film Podcast continued its weekly episodes, focusing September episodes on pre-1990, non-Disney animated films (“Animonth”!)

Site News and Updates:

• According to my Letterboxd account, I watched 32 feature films and 5 shorts (all Peanuts) in September
• Today’s banner comes from the most-read new review this month… Pinocchio
• This month we had 83 unique readers. Thanks, all!

Next Month:

• I’m going to continue focusing on catching up on 2022 films, but will also embrace Spooktober! I also plan to revisit some classics and old favorites in prep for an upcoming mini-project.
• I didn’t make any progress on enhancing the Review Index last month, but hope to sometime in October.
