A good week of movie watching at home despite not a very good week watching movies in theaters. My two screenings this past week were A Million Ways to Die in the West and Maleficent and neither impressed, but at home I watched The Sword of Doom on Hulu (then added it to my Best Movies collection) as well as Kihachi Okamoto‘s Kill!. Then it was Criterion’s new Blu-ray edition of Howard Hawks‘ Red River, which I’ll have a review of this week.
Last night I also started watching Men in Black 3 and it just got too late to finish it so I’ll be finishing that later today. What I did see wasn’t too bad, but not sure it’s worth seeing or any extended commentary beyond acknowledging it exists. We’ll see how it all ends before making that judgment though.
Beyond that I did watch the second episode from “Hannibal‘s” second season, which is just as gruesome as I remember it, and a lot of NBA and NHL playoffs. Oh, and I caught the last 30 minutes or so of The Lincoln Lawyer and Iron Man 3 and I had one question about Iron Man 3… At the end, when Pepper puts on Iron Man’s gloved hand, how come she’s able to fire off a beam of light at Guy Pearce? Only a few minutes earlier Stark told Rhodes they were all “coded” to him, not to mention it’s just the hand, wouldn’t you need the whole suit to actually operate the weapons? At least the helmet. I don’t know, just struck me as curious.
Anyway, your turn, what did you watch this week?
