![[Blind Spot 2019] June: Network (1976)](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/blind-spot-challenge-june-network-poster-review.jpg)
My June’s Blind Spot challenge pick was “Network”, a movie I only knew of because of Faye Dunaway’s Oscar win. Actually because of this photo. I chose it because I really wasn’t in the mood for a heavier movie (the likes of Apocalypse Now and Seven Samurai were waiting for me), and I’m glad I did,…

My very delayed May viewing in the Blind Spot challenge was “Trainspotting”. It’s been on my radar for a long time, but I was somehow put off by the idea of seeing a movie about junkies. I’m kind of sad I did it now, because I really enjoyed it. Trainspotting is a 1996 movie directed…

I went into “2001: Space Odyssey” knowing almost nothing; just that it’s a cult movie and that it was directed by Stanley Kubrick, one of the best directors of all time. Overall, I thought “2001: Space Odyssey” was a great movie. Watching it, I kept thinking “this is probably taught in Film School”. Everything is…

The March Blind Spot challenge pick was “Cat on a hot tin roof”. I’ve wanted to see this movie for a long time, mostly because of the two main actors, Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, and I am glad I did. I absolutely loved it. It was well acted, with an interesting storyline and a…
![[Blind Spot 2019] February: The Royal Tenenbaums](https://geekteller.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/The-Royal-Tenenbaums-poster-review-809x286.jpg)
My February pick for the Blind Spot challenge was “The Royal Tenenbaums“. A Wes Anderson classic and a cult movie, the film tells the story of the Tenenbaums and the estranged father’s quest to reunite and reconcile with the family. It was a fun, sweet movie, that kind of bored me in the beginning, but…

My first Blindspot entry for 2019 is LA Confidential, a movie I’ve heard everyone rave about and that I know won Oscars. Before watching it, I only associated this movie with an image of a sultry Kim Bassinger, and nothing else. One of the most notable things about it is that “LA confidential” is a…
Since my return to movie blogging last year, I kept seeing Blind Spot challenges popping up every once in a while and I was always curious to see what is about, mostly because it always featured old movies I haven’t seen myself. After a bit of research (and some Twitter questions) I found out what…
