Hello dear readers of mine! It’s bee quite some time since I’ve done a typed post for the site, but every year I strive to honor the unique aspects of films from that year. Giving out my own “awards” or recognitions for the movies of the year (in this case, 2017), it’s another fun way to celebrate film.
