What I'll be watching

I still have a few more NetFlix to watch:
  • His Girl Friday, the classic Howard Hawks / Cary Grant / Rosalind Russell movie.
  • Nine Queens, an Argentinian entry into the heist oevre.
Some recent purchases include:
  • Two from the book Cult Movies, a cool hardcover I picked up on the cheap a while ago that lists neat movies. These are two movies that were filmed at the same time: The Shooting and Ride in the Whirlwind. It was the former that had an entry in the Cult Movies book. I was puzzled to find that the Ride in the Whirlwind DVD is actually X-Men! It is even labeled as Whirlwind, but nope, upon playing it is X-Men. Weird.
  • Heavy Metal, in a doublepack with Heavy Metal 2000. The former is an old high school favorite. Wonder how it ages? Great soundtrack.
I also need to move over the rest of the reviews from my old site (30 more to go). While I was doing it yesterday, I added Decalogue I and it reminded me that I really want to watch more of them. I watched Decalogue 2, but never did a review of it, so I'll probably just start with that one again. It is an amazing piece of cinema history and just incredibly emotionally involving. I note that it is now available again from all the usualy sorces. I bought mine on eBay, as it wasn't available at the time.

Hope you have time to stop by again. Don't forget, you can get my site via an RSS feed as well. As for utilities to read RSS feeds, I highly recommend Bloglines. It is an entirely web based effort and works really really well.
