Despite a lifetime of compulsive movie-going and movie-viewing, Video Watchdog editor Tim Lucas had never kept a list of those he had seen, much less annual ones. After a number of his Internet friends shared their lists of all the movies they had watched at the end of 2011, he was inspired to follow their example... and to take it one step further. On the first day of 2012, he launched a new blog where he would not only keep track of every movie he saw that year, but review them in depth as well. He called this blog Pause. Rewind. Obsess. This book collects all 226 reviews written for Pause. Rewind. Obsess. which encompass silent movies like Louis Feuillade's Les Vampires (1915-1916) as well as the latest releases from Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, the James Bond franchise, and the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse. In between, you'll find coverage of horror, science fiction and fantasy, as well as film noir, westerns, actioners, Beatles musicals, blaxploitation, and art house titles from a variety of countries. These reviews are presented here for the first time in newly polished, definitive form. This book is the second release in a comprehensive new series from BearManor Media collecting the best of Tim Lucas's 50+ years of film-related writings.
