September recap

This September started off very strong, but dosed off after the first week. Let me explain why: I handed it my dissertation on the 30th of August, then, from the 1st of September, I think, I got to participate the Fall Preview organised by the Film Distributors' Association, where I got to watch a lot of great movies. 15 out of the 16 viewed this month were because of this event.

After 4 days of intense film viewing, I packed by bags and went back home to Bucharest- I was sad to leave London, it wasn't actually by choice. Anyway, the next 3 weeks were spent adjusting to the new life and my time and mood for movies were practically nonexistent  but thank God I have a good final balance, and I have to thank the London event for it :)

Anyway, here's the list!

Movies 16
Madagascar 3 [2012]
Hope Springs [2012]
The Knot [2012]
Private Peaceful [2012]
Holy Motors [2012]

Untouchable [2011]
Sister [2012]
Rust and Bone [2012]

Books Sadly, I haven't had time to finish any books this month :( Hopefully, I'll be more successful the next one!

As usual, I ended disappointed in my September, but I'm not going to promise or hope for a better month- que sera, sera! :)


What did you do/see/read this September? anything good?

    1. I hope you like End of watch- it has its flaws, but overall, it's pretty interesting. Anna Karenina is beautiful to watch, Holy Motors is crazy and Rust and Bone...meah, didn't really blow my mind away.

    1. It was pretty cute- a lot of people loved it, I liked it, but wasn't overly excited over it. Still, a good movie!

    2. So Frankenweenie is good? that's awesome to hear, I thought Burton will never make a good movie again :) So jealous you saw Rust and Bone!

    3. It's definitely not the best or most interesting Burton movie, but it's good!

  4. :O You saw Now is Good? How was it? How was Jeremy Irvine? I know it sounds bad, but I'm just going to see that movie to swoon over his perfect face, haha.

    1. I first read the book the movie was based on, and the film didn't have the same emotional impact as the novel- not a bad picture, just cliche. Jeremy Irvine was his usual sexy, sweet British boy, you will definitely swoon over him in this movie- he looks so much better than War Horse. I totally get it, don't worry :)

  5. Sorry to hear you had to relocate, but at least you do get to see some old friends and family now. I haven't even heard about some of the films you saw in September so you must have gotten quite an advance preview.
