I’m afraid I’ll need to keep this a bit shorter than normal, but here’s how the week’s viewing went-
39. Shock Waves (1977) – Amazon Prime
40. Cry of the City (1948)
Rocky III (1982) – 4K UHD
41. The Narrow Margin (1952)
Star Trek Picard Season Three : Episode 5 – Amazon Prime
While the worst of the week is an easy one this time around- clearly its Shock Waves, albeit with the caveat that it was not a total stinker and that I still rather enjoyed it. However, picking a best of the week was actually a bit tricky, as I saw some really good films this week – by chance more than by design, to be sure, but hey that’s the magic of films, always a surprise around the corner. Both Cry of the City and The Narrow Margin were very good noir.
Can get a bit expensive though- The Naked Spur was so good it galvanised me into ordering a Blu-ray copy from the Warner Bros online store (a store discount made it cheaper than waiting for Amazon to get it next month). Film collecting is a terrible thing for one’s wallet; you see a good film and its hard to resist the need to physically own a copy. Damn, its a hard habit to break.
But anyway, The Naked Spur it is. When the Blu-ray disc arrives it’ll give me a good excuse to watch it again. Meanwhile, there’s a few more Blu-rays of Westerns on the way too…
Ah! I have a hunch some of the responsibility for the spending there may rest with me. Under the circumstances, I do hope you enjoy those movies when you get to see them, although I feel fairly confident that you will.
