July in Review

This is gonna be a drag, but there's no blurbs at all this month. I didn't write them when I saw the films and don't feel particularly compelled to try to revisit an an entire month's worth of viewing to do it now. Though this month goes by uncommented upon, my plan for the future is to do a post every few movies with a blurb on each. I think I've said this before, so it could be an empty promise, but it's something I'd like to try out for a while. In the meantime, here's a list of things I watched in July, if that's of interest to anybody at all. I've gotta say, it was a pretty good, fruitful month. A little shy of one movie a day, but I'm getting there, finally, again.
