2018: Lots of Movies
Here at the Profound Bartender, we know the value of the arts in our lives. Having a good movie partner, my sister, is the key to returning again. We arrive early and visit and then chat through the credits about what we just saw.
In the spirit of dedication, here is a list of the movies that we’ve seen in 2018.

We spent some of January playing catch-up to the Oscars with films like The Shape of Water.
And, you might ask, “why not 52?”. Well, we also went to the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit at the museum and to some arts and crafts fairs.
Clearly we are not always choosing artsy flicks, we like to have some slap-stick fun too. While no movies were real stand-outs, I’d guess that the Oscar nominations for Best Actress will go to Keira Knightly, Glenn Close, Melissa McCarthy, Lady Gaga and the cast of The Favourite.
Happy New Year!
The Profound Bartender 
Great minds think alike-I just made this list a couple of days ago but forgot The Big Lebowski! My standouts were Greatest Showman, Mary Poppins, Black Panther, The Post, The Wife, Can You Ever Forgive Me and Eighth Grade. I’d definitely go see all of those again. I think the Favourite might win all. Many strong women parts in several great movies. While still a good movie, AWrinkle in Time was not “great” partially because of the hype and mostly because I love the book so much it would take a miracle to make a movie that even just meets the bar.
