I’ve been on vacation for the last seven days, but before I left I did watch John Boorman‘s 1967 film Point Blank starring Lee Marvin as a man double-crossed by his partners and left for dead in an Alcatraz jail cell who returns to claim what is his, which may or may not include his wife. I’d never seen the film and was tipped off to it by the CinephilArchive and the video I included at the bottom of today’s post titled “The 160 Angriest Steps in Cinema History”, which just so happens to be a clip from the film and easily the film’s best scene… montage… however you’d like to describe it.
Other than that, this week I saw The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and we all know how that turned out by now, and at home I watched Ernest & Celestine and O Apostolo. Oh, I also watched Lone Survivor for a second time, my review of that one is coming on Monday.
I also started watching Howard Hughes‘ Hell’s Angels, but still have about an hour left before finishing it. One thing is for certain, Hughes loved to just fade to black once he thought a scene had served its purpose.
That said, I’m heading off to enjoy my vacation, but please share what you watched this week in the comments below.
