I wanted to mention that on top of movie watching this week I also finally join the ranks of most of you out there as I read J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” for the first time. My literary upbringing was not that impressive and to think of the endless number of classic books I have not read all while having a college degree in print and broadcast journalism is embarrassing. Oh well, you can only try to play catch up in some aspects of life…
As for movies, I also watched several titles I will be reviewing this coming week including the Studio Canal Collection Blu-ray editions of Jean-Luc Godard’s Contempt (excellent film) and Akira Kurosawa’s Ran as well as upcoming Warner Home Video Blu-ray releases of the original Clash of the Titans and The Neverending Story. That said, I also have a trio of titles to talk about beyond those. So let’s dig in and as always share your list of movies in the comment section below with a couple of brief sentences for each one.
| Le Corbeau (The Raven) (1943) |
| Serpico (1973) |
| The Earrings of Madame de… (Madame de…) (1953) |
There you have it. Now share your weekly recaps and weigh in with any thoughts you may have on the films I saw. And remember to connect with my Netflix queue by clicking here, I have already added several titles from those that have already linked up.
