The films I share in my 31 Days of Oscar posts tend to get lost in the shuffle, so I’ll be featuring them on Short Film Saturday to give them their due.

Free Movie Friday: Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
It’s not just the answer to a trivia question (What was the first film awarded Best Picture?), Sunrise is now in the public domain, freely available to watch, and quite good. If you’re familiar with Murnau, it’s likely not your favorite of his films, but as one of the emblematic directors of German Expressionism to come to Hollywood and debut with this is a legendary feat of its own.
Birthday Movie 2026
I’ve tried to go to the movies on my birthday. More often than not I’ve succeeded. This year warranted a post of its own. Once I hear that Coyote vs. Acme was opening on 8/28 I was hopeful that I’d be able to catch an early Thursday screening on my birthday proper. It’s a film that has had a long road to finally hitting screens and that already earned its (human) star a BAM Award for his fight to see it released.
Having finally gotten to see it, I am so, so thankful that Will Forte fought so hard and that Ketchup Entertainment stepped in to salvage something else Warner Bros. was ready to toss into the trash and set ablaze. I highly recommend it. It’s not just nostalgia or Easter Eggs that make it work, it’s a brilliant concept, cleverly executed and genuinely funny. Go out and see it.

Free Movie Friday: The Circus (1928)
This was a film I first discussed in a 31 Days of Oscar post. While I often think of other Chaplin works first. This is one I still rate as a 9/10. Enjoy.
