I've been to Vancouver and back since the last update. Here's an index of my coverage of VIFF 2014. Since I've been back, I've been watching some Hong Kong movies, naturally enough, with reviews of Blind Detective, A Better Tomorrow III and Flying Swords of Dragon Gate (I also reviewed Accident before I left). We've also had three episodes of The George Sanders Show, on Wavelength and Videodrome, on How to Marry a Millionaire and Down with Love and on Gone Girl and The Vanishing.
All of my various lists are up-to-date over on letterboxd, including my Running Out of Karma list, which is now up to 157 films. I've also got short reviews over there for most of the films I don't cover here.
These are the movies I've watched and rewatched over the last few weeks, and where they place on my year-by-year rankings.
