And with that I’ve passed 100 films on the year, which begs the question – who had 84 Days in the pool?

I submitted my wishlist for dvd screeners to Hot Docs this week, so expect this feature to start getting dotted with a lot of non-fiction over the next six weeks or so. This week though, there was a heavy emphasis on an old favorite.

As for my new release screening this week, you might want to check in tomorrow to get my reaction in both written and audio form.

Here’s what was on tap…

Screenings
GREMLINS – Pure joy, and a gorgeous print to boot!
SUCKER PUNCH – Less than pure joy.

Blu-Rays/DVD’s I’ve Never Seen
NETWORK – Why I’d never seen this until now is beyond me.
STARSHIP TROOPERS – It helped that I knew what to expect going into this.
THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS – Decided to dig into one of the few remaining Spielbergs I’d never seen…

Blu-Rays/DVD’s I’ve Watched Before
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN – …That set off…
E.T. – …a bit of a bender…
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK – …which doesn’t seem to want to end anytime soon.
