As some of my faithful readers may have noticed, I've been on an unofficial hiatus from writing for almost a month now. I didn't necessarily plan it that way, but I just found that my other commitments (a summer class, my part time job, and seeing friends before they leave for school) took up most of my time and writing became (unfortunately) difficult. But that is over now. With Oscar season (my favorite time of the year) revving up to start next week, I'm ready to re-dedicate myself to blogging. I was pleasantly surprised and completely thrilled to see that I've actually had steady readership over the course of the past month- pretty amazing considering I wasn't posting anything. So, I'm more than excited to get back into the blogging game:
First of all, I want to recommend that everybody follows me on Letterboxd, which has quickly become one of my favorite social media sites. It's a great place to remain up to date with what I'm watching, including old films I'm just checking out for the first time. Over the course of the past month I've watched 13 films from 2013 and while I think it'd be counter productive to dwell in the past by writing full length reviews for this site, you can read my reviews on Letterboxd and I'll type up a brief post with my thoughts on the film later today.
I'm also dedicating my time to extensive Oscar coverage this year. While I may not always agree with the Academy's decisions, I've always enjoyed the Oscars and predicting the nominees/winners is a lot of fun. I'll be trying to see as many of the big "Oscar films" as I can, and will write full length reviews for each of them. As for my Oscar predictions, I'll be starting brackets for the big six categories next week which I'll update frequently, with brackets for other categories being added as we get further into the year. I'll have an Oscar season preview up by the end of the week, with a detailed schedule about when you can expect an update in the brackets.
That's all for this brief update. Thank you for sticking with this blog over the past month!
