So we are officially halfway through the year, which means mid year movie awards and let me tell you saints, your boy struggled to pull this together. Due to a combination of life struggles, work, and unappealing movies, I have only seen *gulp* 34 movies this year. But never fear things are starting to look up this month as I’ve got some screeners and screenings set up and the movies do look like they’re more interesting in the latter part of the year. So here are my choices for the best in movies for the first half of 2019.
