What I Watched – July 30-August 9

On its new day, here are the films I watched over the last week and a half (most of which were watched during my trip to the cottage).  As always, you can see me log films as I watch them over at Letterboxd.

Here is what I watched:

• Donnie Darko – Rewatch (Blu-Ray) – The tenth anniversary of my first viewing, which resulted in perhaps my longest post of the year.
• Attack the Block – Rewatch (Blu-Ray) – I thought of this film while watching The Watch.
• Cottage Rewatches (All on DVD):
• My Cousin Vinny – Hard to believe this film is now 20 years old.  Makes you miss seeing Joe Pesci on screen.
• Drive – Still very much like this film
• Meet the Parents – A cottage viewing tradition
• Paul – This also popped into my mind in reference to The Watch
• Meet the Fockers – Continuing the cottage mini-marathon
• In Bruges – This film gets better each time I see it.
• Little Fockers – Watching this in conjunction with the other two makes you fully realize how underwhelming and unnecessary this film really is.
• Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark – An underrated horror film.
• The Artist – Looks great on an older (4:3) TV.
• Rushmore – Rewatch (Blu-Ray) – Finally got the Criterion disc I ordered about four weeks ago.
