This Week In Rankings

It's been a a couple weeks since I updated these, so it's more like this three weeks in rankings, but whatever. Since the last update, I've posted three episodes of The George Sanders Show (on Duel of Fists and Tears of the Black Tiger, Sneakers and Whirlpool, and Two Lovers and Two English Girls) and started preparing for my next episode of They Shot Pictures, on the Westerns of John Ford.

I've also posted a number of reviews of films by Chang Cheh (Heroes Two, Five Shaolin Masters and Shaolin Temple, Return of the One-Armed Swordsman, Vengeance!, and The Heroic Ones), Chor Yuen (The Sentimental Swordsman and Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre Parts I & II) and John Ford (Fort Apache and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance).

Over at letterboxd, I've got lists for Woody Allen, Gene Tierney, Otto Preminger and my trips to the Vancouver International Film Festival in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012, as well as updates to previously-created director lists.
