Well, another April has come and gone and hundreds of folks have furiously written a blog post for each letter of the alphabet while visiting other blogs to offer feedback and support. For the 4th, and probably final, time I watched and reviewed documentary movies. This was the first time I scheduled all my posts before April began and thus had a lot of time to visit other blogs, although I tapered off in the final third of the month, alas. I meant to use my “free time” to watch more bonus docs but I found myself not really wanting to watch anything more, and besides baseball season and the NBA playoffs started! The movies I watched this year were uniformly good and I saw a lot of themes running through several of them, including civil rights and social justice issues, LGBTQ concerns and the AIDS crisis, behind the scenes with creators in entertainment, and music.
