How fantastic is this shot of Trevor in Raw Deal (1948)? It really needs to be a gif.
This month I finished watching The Other Bennet Sister (and then watched it a second time) and also watched Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock (I wanted to see Donal Finn as a romantic lead before seeing him as Moriarty). I highly recommend both. I'm obsessed. I will be watching Young Sherlock again in a few days. In between the two I had also started another mini-series, Titanic: Blood and Steel (2012) starring Kevin Zegers, but lost interest after five episodes (out of twelve). I didn't find myself caring about the characters and everything was super grey and colorless.
Also, some months I don't have ANY screenshots and this month I have too many to use lol.

Least Favorite Film: It wasn't bad, but I doubt I'll ever watch Seven Miles from Alcatraz again. Earthquake was ok (I've seen worse disaster movies).
Favorite Movie: It was overall a very good month. I loved all of the Ozu films I watched. My real obsessions are, as mentioned at the top of this post, The Other Bennet Sister (which is getting a three-episode Christmas Special!!) and Young Sherlock (can't wait for season 2).
