Dancing with my Movie Anxiety

Christmas is almost upon us folks!  Who’s had their fill of Christmas specials yet?  I’ve watched my traditional Polar Express and hosted my annual 1947 Miracle on 34th Street party.

However my moviegoing anxiety just kicked into overdrive.  I get super excited about the number of awards contenders and holiday blockbusters being released into theaters.  Finding time to see these movies is now my highest priority. Yes it'll be causing me anxiety, trying to see them all as soon as humanly possible.

Jackie currently leads the pack.  It’s a movie that covers two of my favorite obsessions.  The first is the former first lady of the United States Jackie Kennedy and the second is Natalie Portman.  Also Fences arrives Christmas day.  It’s an Oscar bait movie starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis.  No doubt I’ll be there to see it.

I’m days away from my Rogue One: A Star Wars Story release party.  My menu is set and bar is stocked for the event.  In the next day and a half I’ll start preparing for the evening.

On the topic of sci fi releases Passengers is coming out next week and I’m in mega anticipation for that one.

Other releases coming out around this time are the animated flick Sing, which looks like pure fun.  Then Assassins Creed is coming out.  This film looks like complete garbage, and will probably end up being just that. However it stars Michael Fassbender, who I love as an actor.  Marion Cotilliard is in it as well and I adore her.  The film is also a big budget event like film.  I’m a sucker for those.  After all I sat through one of the worst films ever, Warcraft, just because I’m a sucker for those kind of movies.

After the new year films such as LaLa Land, Hidden Figures, and Patriots Day will all make their way into wide release.  All just in time for my favorite holiday of the year: THE OSCARS!!!  (My party turns 14 this year, FYI)

At some point I’m hoping Lion makes its way towards my local cinemas, because I really want to see that one.

Of course around New Year’s eve/day I’ll be releasing my annual top ten film list of the year.

So in the mean time I’ll be anxiously planning my visits to the movies.  I’m sure I’ll be issuing many open invitations via Facebook, so please be on the look out.  In the mean time I’m going to post this blog and go see Nocturnal Animals.
