I’m only featuring one title I watched this last week as I am still working on a Blu-ray piece for the Lionsgate Studio Canal Collection and am almost ready for a review article for the recent Hayao Miyazaki movies that just hit DVD. I just watched Kiki’s Delivery Service and Castle in the Sky for the first time and am going to give the excellent My Neighbor Totoro a watch before starting that piece. Hopefully both will be completed before the week is up.
However, on top of the film reviewed below, I did (sort of) watch David Cronenberg’s Scanners, but I got so bored with it I just started doing work and periodically looking up to reassure myself that it was just doing the same thing over and over again. Sure, a head explodes and people can deliver intense stares over and over, but I’ll be damned if that film didn’t bore the hell out of me and fast. So since I didn’t give it 100% of my attention I didn’t include it below, but I don’t intend to ever give it a second chance.
