Since the last update we actually managed to put out a couple episode of They Shot Pictures. One on Preston Sturges and another on John Woo. I had reviews of Woo's Princess Chang Ping at Seattle Screen Scene and Jackie Chan's Project A films here at The End. We've also had episodes of The George Sanders Show on The Look of Silence and The Sound of Music and Man of Aran and Neo Tokyo.
These are the movies I've watched and rewatched over the last few weeks and where they place on my year-by-year rankings. Short comments or capsule reviews for them can be found over at letterboxd.

You might be the first person I've encountered who thinks highly of Windtalkers. Unless you consider 2002 a really bad year...
ReplyDeleteI think it's his best American films and one of the best war movies of the last couple decades. We talk about it on the Woo podcast linked above.
