Martin Scorsese Teaches Filmmaking

Doing some catch-up this week, since I missed last week’s post. I should also probably start noting that you can keep track of everything I watch over on Letterboxd.

Here’s what I watched:

• Caddyshack – Rewatch (DVD) – You’ll never see comedies with animatronic gophers these days.
• Beasts of the Southern Wild – First Viewing (Cinema) – I quite enjoyed this one.
• Batman Begins – Rewatch (DVD) – Dark Knight Rises catch-up
• The Dark Knight – Rewatch (DVD) – Ditto
• The Dark Knight Rises – First Viewing (Cinema) – Here’s the film itself.
• Silent House – Rewatch (Blu-Ray) – Still good though not the same effect when you can pause.
• Neil Young Journeys – First Viewing (Cinema) – Concert decent, could have used more documentary
• Rubber – First Viewing (Netflix) – A one-note pony with many non-sequiturs
• The Silence of the Lambs – First Viewing (Blu-Ray) – I liked it, but wasn’t blown away.
• The Watch – First Viewing (Cinema) – Somewhat uneven, though it picks up towards the end.
• Conan the Barbarian – First Viewing (Cinema) – He punches a camel!
