I am pretty sure that I have seen more than 25 first-run films at this point of the year but for whatever reason, that is the number that sticks in my head. Many of the films I have listed you may not have even heard of; I hope some of these titles are illuminating. In addition, some movies presented have been reviewed in this space, while others did not receive the full ILC treatment.
For the purposes of my recap, I grouping these 25 films according to how strongly I liked/disliked it. Pay no attention to the order; the movies are listed and categorized as I recalled them.

MEH
Can go either way for me; in the end, not too hot or cold about these films. Although I clearly liked some of the films more than others.
YIKES! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
I can’t even to be honest, I just can’t even.
Stay tuned tomorrow for my fall picks.
