November Wrap: a very delayed look at a pretty good month!

This post is SO LATE, but January is right around the corner (sorta) and I knew I wouldn’t be able to justify posting my December wrap without posting my November wrap, so I finally did the thing. ?

Watched this Month:

Lots of re-watches in November, as usual.

• The Devil’s Rejects (2005) | ? | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Probably my favorite Rob Zombie film. I never get tired of the banter between Otis and Baby in this one. “Tutti fuckin’ frutti!”
• Nightmare Cinema (2018) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • This one’s on Shudder, I think? It was really weird and good.
• 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) | ? | ⭐⭐⭐⭐?
• While You Were Sleeping (1995) | ? | ?????
  • This was my favorite Christmas movie and my favorite rom-com as a kid. I hadn’t seen it in years, but it was just as good as I remembered!
• Wreck-It Ralph (2012) | ? | ⭐⭐⭐?
  • This, on the other hand, was sadly NOT as good as I remembered.
• Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019) | ⭐⭐?
  • I don’t even wanna talk about it. What a disappointment.
• Frozen (2013) | ? | ⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • We introduced the kiddo to this one, finally, and he loved it.
• 3 from Hell (2019) | ⭐⭐⭐?
  • Not as good as the first two, but still really enjoyable. Sigh… I dunno, man, put Sheri Moon and/or Bill Moseley on a screen and I’ll watch it. ???

Listened to this Month:

• Matthew and the Atlas — I shuffled through this guy’s discography a lot this month. It was pretty perfect “November vibes” music.

Played this Month:

• Stardew Valley
  • I finally chilled out a little on SDV and only played this one maybe 20-30 hours in November. “Only”. ?
• Delicious – Emily’s Taste of Fame
  • I finished my re-play of my least favorite Delicious game so I could move on to the Holiday Seasons one!
• Two-Point Hospital
  • I bought this right at the end of November and really loved it right off the bat.
