This year I wanted to record exactly what I've been watching for the entire year, as I've found I get so lost in binge watching at times that I forget to look back on what I have watched and liked. So I plan to record the entire year of Film and TV shows that I have watched, this is my January watchlist and I'll include my faourite TV Show and film with a mini review at the end, (dates that are missing where days that I was either away or I went into the outside world and did something productive with my life).

Atlanta - The writing
in this series meant I wanted to give Donald Glover a massive high five after watching this. It follows
Earn (Glover) who’s essentially a homeless, broke father balancing his life
with his girlfriend Van (Zazie Beetz) while hustling to manage his cousin
Alfred aka Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry), an up-and-coming rapper. I loved how he wrote the female and male characters
in this with innovative storylines and character traits. Also the cinematography
by DP Christian Sprenger is just beautiful he really embraces the Atlanta landscape
and kudos to director Hiro Murai. Also if you want to start off your year with a quality soundtrack then the music in this show is the best place to begin.
Film
Moonlight - As
you can see my month has had a slight Wong Kar Wei theme to it so when I
discovered that Barry Jenkins, the director of Moonlight also had this obsession
and had used Wong Kar Wei's films as inspiration for the look of Moonlight, I
felt like there was a certain destiny in me having nothing but pure love
vomiting from my heart for this film. Hence this being my number one film of
this month, not only did the story; based on the play ‘Black Boys look Blue’
Written by Tarell Alvin McCraney, which was so original and beautiful in its
writing completely wrap me up in the film, but the cinematography by James
Laxton was just a thing of pure beauty.
