This is the May Movie-thon

Woweeeee! This was indeed The May. Far more than 23 movies were watched!

My main focus in May, as you can see, was Star Wars. I had seen all of the Star Wars live-action movies before, some more than once, but this time I re-watched and reviewed all of them. In the list below, organized by date watched, I linked them to the posts where I reviewed them. Some are listed twice...because I watched them twice this May. :-) I really wanted to get a full understanding of them and I believe I accomplished that, though I'll probably give the sequel trilogy another chance next year.

I couldn't make May all about Star Wars, though. I did watch other movies. Most others are Hallmark. Some are romcoms and others are cozy mysteries. One series of movies I watched were Hallmark's Flower Shop Mysteries, starring Brooke Shields as the amateur sleuth. I was not entirely impressed with this series and I'm not upset that they no longer make them. Those are my least favorite Hallmark mysteries that I've seen so far.

I also watched two Miss Marple and one Hercule Poirot movies on DVDs that are part of a set which was a birthday gift. These are two of the most famous amateur sleuths in the history of cozy mysteries, created by Agatha Christie. Overall, I prefer the more modern cozy mysteries, but these are not too bad either.

In addition to these, I've also been watching "Murder, She Wrote" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". These are old t.v. series that I'll review after watching each season. I am almost done watching the first season of "Murder, She Wrote", but it may be a while before I review them because I only watch those once a week or once every couple of weeks.

My favorite movie this month was by far "Rip In Time". It's a new Hallmark movie and while it is a romcom, it's very different than any others I've seen. I came to really love Niall Matter in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries and he did an exceptional job starring in "Rip In Time". It's a fresh take with a unique twist on the classic tale, "Rip Van Winkle". "Rip in Time is both heart-warming and hilarious. I laughed out loud throughout the movie.  I will definitely watch that one again soon and maybe post a review of it.

This month I used stars to represent Star Wars to rate the movies, plus the sparkling heart if there was something extra special about them. The total number of stars possible is five.

June will be filled with wedding-themed Hallmark romcoms. A photographer friend of mine told me we're in the midst of wedding season, so this is the perfect time of year to watch those (most of which have been recorded over the past few months).

I'll also continue watching "Murder, She Wrote", "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", and the Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot movies. I've already started watching "Obi-Wan Kenobi", the Star Wars series on Disney+, and I'll also be watching the upcoming "Ms. Marvel" series.

If you want to see what I've been reading, don't forget to check out my list of books read on the right sidebar of my blog. The most current book I read will always be on top. Sometime soon I am planning to start posting reviews of books. I've been reading so many good ones and I want to share them with you!

Cheers to all of you and Happy June!
