Not a single trip to the theater this week. I was going to see Before I Go To Sleep on Wednesday night, but they cancelled the screening only a few hours before it was to take place. However, at home I was able to see a few things.
First off there was Samurai Assassin (1965) from director Kihachi Okamoto who also directed The Sword of Doom, which I’ve already professed my love for, Kill! and Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo. Samurai Assassin, in this case, is second to Sword of Doom and boy is it dark and rather disturbing by the end with yet another great performance from Toshiro Mifune.
I also watched the new Blu-ray for A Most Wanted Man, which I ended up reviewing right here, and I also watched the Blu-ray for George A. Romero‘s The Dark Half, which I reviewed here.
Other than that, I watched the opening sequence of Skyfall and the first 30 minutes of Henry Hathaway‘s Kiss of Death (1947), which just arrived from Netflix and I’ll probably finish tonight because I know tomorrow is going to be all about seeing Interstellar in IMAX.
Now, what did you watch?
