It’s another week over and podcasts are up (back dated) and I don’t really think I have much to say. Looking over this week of film watching it was a lot of aged American, French and Asian films as I watched the first film that John Woo did with Chow Yun-Fat and many other interesting things… I also spent an evening of remembering how I used to obsess over music videos and why I think they’re possibly the worst thing to ever happen to filmmaking (possible ideas for a post there).

Anyways, here’s what I watched this week by:

THE TALE OF ZATOICHI CONTINUES (1962) – loved the continuation…
HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971) – LOVE THIS MOVIE… this will blow young people’s minds
MOOD INDIGO (2013) – UGHHHHH…. I may be done with Gondry
HANNIBAL BURESS: LIVE IN CHICAGO (2014) – uneven hour of stand-up
A BETTER TOMORROW (1986) – Not enough doves Woo…
SNOWPIERCER (2014) – Too long, too easy preachy, too much… but a few gems
RIDE ALONG (2014) – no gems… not even one… ughhh
NYMPHOMANIAC: VOL. I (2014) – hold judgement till I watch the 2nd half of this film

REWATCH

BLOW OUT – “So you got your choice. You can be crazy or dead.”

My count for the year of 2014 is updated to 88 First time watches (17 from 2014); 48 Rewatches; 136 Total Films
