It’s time to enter full countdown mode. It’s two weeks till I return to Jamaica after two years in Trinidad, then a couple days following I’m off to Toronto for TIFF. I can’t think of anything else worth mentioning about things going on… so… here’s this week’s films…

ELYSIUM (2013) – a relatively boring science-fiction film with bad action scenes
AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS (2013) – voice-over narration couldn’t fix this bad crime tale

REWATCHED

DISTRICT 9 – “It’s like popcorn”
HARD BOILED – “I’d just like to ask your teach how he managed to produce such a stubborn cop.”
THE DEEP BLUE SEA – “Beware of passion, Hester. It always leads to something ugly.”
REDBELT – “You know the escape”
WATCHMEN – “I will look up, and say no”
HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH – “my little bishop in a turtle neck”
KEY OF LIFE – “that indescribable feeling in your chest”

My count for the year of 2013 is updated to 148 First time watches (61 from 2013); 124 Rewatches; 272 Total Films
