2019: The Year in Reviews (The Wrap-Up)
We just wrapped up the year, month by month, and now we get to my favorite part… analyzing it all.
The last thirteen days were for everyone else, but today is for me. Today is where I see how well I guessed everything back in January, how all the films I saw this year shook out. Where all the ratings went, what the average ratings for each month were… stuff that I’ve been tracking for a decade now.
Here’s all the previous articles in a handy chart so you can crosscheck anything I’ve said to this point, should you want to:

2019: The Year in Reviews (Films That Didn’t Get Released)
Now that we’ve gone over everything that came out this year, it’s time to go over the stuff that didn’t.
Of course not everything you track is gonna come out. Stuff gets pushed, stuff never gets picked up… shit happens.
I do this article mainly so I can keep track of what’s still left to come out, so I can organize the 2020 Release Calendar and figure out which movies are gonna roll over and which I’m just gonna let go.
So here’s all the 2019 films that weren’t released: (more…)
2019: The Year in Reviews (December)
You know what it is. It’s the last half of December, which means we’re wrapping up the year.
Like most things in my life, it’s built around a pun. What I do in January is preview everything I can possibly find that’s set to come out that year. And then what I do is watch as many of them as I can, dropping reviews each third of the year. And then in December, we recap how that all went, month by month and see how I did/what I liked.
Mainly I do this for me, just to see how accurate I can guess on stuff up to a year out (I used to hope for a solid 2/3 percentage, but at this point I generally hit above 70% and really wanna see if I can somehow get to 75%), but it also keeps me honest, since I don’t read anything I write after it goes up until I compile these articles and my reviews are done based on how I feel as I write them up. So really this is bringing the two together and considering my feelings as they stand at this moment in time. And then hopefully others can maybe find some cool stuff they didn’t know about or previously consider from it all.
Today is December. (more…)
