Another busy week of movie watching although this week it was all at home. I finished watching Inequality for All and Cutie and the Boxer as I’m expecting the Academy to announce the documentary shortlist this week and I’ll finally be able to open up the category for predictions.
I also watched Rush for a second time and about an hour’s worth of Fast & Furious 6 as well as Saving Mr. Banks and Out of the Furnace, both of which I’ll be reviewing very soon. I won’t tell you my reaction to either of them, but I will say my wife loved Mr. Banks.
Finally, I watched Criterion’s new Blu-ray for Robert Altman‘s Nashville, but I still have all the features to watch and listen to. It was my first time seeing it and, like a lot of classic films from the ’70s, it’s a film you have to do everything you can to put do whatever you can to try and interpret it as an informed audience member of the era. Hopefully the supplemental features help me enter that headspace.
Otherwise, lots of football and basketball for me over the holidays and I’m loving it, but enough about me, what did you watch over the last seven days?
