Not quite as busy a week as last, but I still managed to see five movies, which begins with the two I saw in theaters — Melissa McCarthy‘s Tammy and Scott Derrickson‘s Deliver Us from Evil. At home I continued my Zatoichi journey with Zatoichi at Large, which was quite good, Werner Herzog‘s Land of Silence and Darkness, which might end up being the hardest review for one of his movies I’ve ever had to write, and then, last night, I watched all of This is the End after having previously only watched the beginning for the Michael Cera scenes. I’d forgotten how good the scene in Heaven at the end of that movie was, but I had remembered how the middle section tends to drag, especially on repeat viewings.
Otherwise, I did finish reading Chris Pavone‘s “The Expats“, which is a solid little thriller and very quick read and now I’m reading “The Weight of Blood” by Laura McHugh, which is a curious one so far… little slow, but hopefully it picks up.
Next on my Herzog journey is Heart of Glass, but today I think I’ll be working mostly on my Richard Linklater interview for Boyhood, which finally starts hitting theaters this coming Friday.
Now, what did you watch?
