This week involved a lot of movies at home, including the new Blu-ray for Double Indemnity, the new Blu-ray for William Friedkin‘s Sorcerer (read my review here) and, last night, I watched Werner Herzog‘s Aguirre, the Wrath of God on Fandor.com as I’ll be reviewing 16 of Herzog’s upcoming movies leading up to Shout Factory’s release of Herzog: The Collection [Limited Edition] on July 29.
The set includes Even Dwarfs Started Small, Nosferatu The Vampyre, Land Of Silence And Darkness, Fitzcarraldo, Fata Morgana, Ballad Of Little Soldier, Aguirre, The Wrath Of God, Where The Green Ants Dream, The Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser, Cobra Verde, Heart Of Glass, Lessons Of Darkness, Stroszek, Little Dieter Needs To Fly, Woyzeck and My Best Fiend and Fandor will be releasing one new title each week leading up to the release, each in HD. Of that lot, I’ve only seen Aguirre and Fitzcarraldo before, which just so happen to be Herzog’s two most popular films and the first two released on Fandor. If you’re interested, get over there and check it out, but I’ll have more on this soon enough.
Otherwise, all I saw was Transcendence, which didn’t exactly light the box office on first this weekend so I wouldn’t be surprised to hear none of you saw it either. Though, if you did, let’s hear about it below (s well as in the comments on my review) along with anything else you watched this week. Anyone watching the Stanley Cup Playoffs?
