It’s been a pretty heavy work for me with films that I saw and work on hand. Well here’s the count for the week:
You can also follow me on LetterBoxd where I keep a log of all the films I watch and such (feel free to to ask for an invite I still have a few)
FIRST TIME VIEWINGS
THE IRON LADY (2011) – A film which decided to tell two stories poorly instead of one very well.
MARGIN CALL (2011) – the acting… the ACTING!!! It’s brilliant. I just wish it said a lot more about what really caused it, or at least referred people to INSIDE JOB which gives them that information.
THE INTERRUPTERS (2011) – a documentary with something to say, but presented in a way that I believe isn’t conducive to non-believers of it’s message
TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY (2011) – everything I could’ve ever wanted from a tomas alfredson follow up. Sherlock FTW
SAFE HOUSE (2012) – wow how lazy an action movie can you make
YOUNG ADULT (2011) – a darkly awesome brand of writing. Nominations all around were necessarry.
REWATCHED
¡THREE AMIGOS! (1986) – “Excuse us, we’re not Mexicans. We’re from out of town”
DO THE RIGHT THING (1989) – “Too long! Too long. Now for the life of me, I haven’t been able to figger this out. Either dem Koreans are geniuses or we Blacks are dumb.”
SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD (2010) – “Kick her in the balls!”
THE COUNT
30 First time watches (2 from 2012); 19 Rewatches; 49 Total Films
Take THE IRON LADY out of that tally and you have one badass week of watching. Certainly glad to see the love for YOUNG ADULT.
it was one of the better weeks that I've had recently…. need to have one of those weeks where I indulge in some horrendous films…
