Well, something funny happened on the way into the month of March...
For the second time since the inception of Savage Cinema, I have just exited a month that essentially produced little to no activity from me. This time around was due to an onslaught of work from my real world/professional life plus a most persistent illness (which I am still recovering from--just a nasty sinus infection, no worries) that had sapped my energy to no end. There were several times when I sat in front of the computer with the intent to try and compose a new feature and I would end up finding myself staring into space, essentially falling asleep with my eyes open as I was so fatigued. Frankly, if it were not for the 15th anniversary of Director Stephen Frears' "High Fidelity,"which I was compelled to commemorate, the month of March would have had nothing to show for it at all!!
Now we arrive at April and I am curious if this month will have much to show for itself either. I took a peek on-line at the film releases scheduled for this month and I have to say that not even one title caught my attention and if that holds true, then this will be the third month in a row when I have not ventured out to the movies. I wonder if this means that 2015 will be one of those years, a year in which not much material that captures my fancy will be released until the later portion of the year.
Yes, May already holds at least two MAJOR features that I would purchase tickets for right now if I could but that said, just think back to one year ago when by this time, I had already seen "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "The Lunchbox," "The LEGO Movie," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Under The Skin"! 2015 has already suffered by comparison.
So, what does this mean? Well, I do already know what one feature will be for this month and it will be a special one but aside from that, let's see what the month may inspire for me as I do wish to keep Savage Cinema very active and alive--which means new material will arrive even when I don't head out to the theaters.
Until the first feature of the month arrives, wish me luck and as always, I'll see you when the house lights go down!
