September 2015 - MDP Film Journal

Nightmare Alley (Edmund Goulding, 1947)

September was focused on trying to squeeze in as many noir and 2000s movies as I can before the end of the month, because October is all set for Hoop-tober! 2.0. I did make it to the theater and caught the new Mission: Impossible. Thoughts McQuarrie's entry in the franchise can be read here.
