My Week in Movies: March 1 - 7

Movies I've seen before are in italics

The Hunger (1983)
Fargo (1996)
No Country for Old Men (2007)
Burn After Reading (2008)
The Angry Red Planet (1959) w/sol_se 
Young Sherlock Holmes (1985)

I liked The Hunger a lot. It's hard to go wrong with Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie. The ending didn't make a ton of sense to me, but it was stylish!

As you can see, I had a little run of Coen Brothers movies. Of the three, Fargo is probably the best one, but I liked No Country more. Both Fargo and Burn After Reading leaned on some cringey elements and I find that kind of stuff deeply difficult to watch. Lots of pausing. My favorite Coen Brothers film is probably still The Big Lebowski, followed by Blood Simple. I have three more Coen movies I might get to this week.

Angry Red Planet is a fairly unremarkable B picture with lots of sexism in space, bad effects, and a meandering plot. There's also only two women in the whole movie and they're both red-heads. Thematic? Probably not.

Young Sherlock Holmes probably seemed like a good idea at the time. I didn't dislike it, but I did find myself checking the remaining runtime a lot.
