My Week in Movies: May 31 - June 6

Life with [personal profile] sol_se is good! We're getting adjusted to living in each others' space, but we fit very well, so it works out.

I'm going to stop noting when I watch something with her because it would just get extremely repetitive.

Movies I've seen before are in italics.

Swordsman II (1992)
Swordsman III: The East is Red (1993)
The Birds (1963)

Rear Window (1954)
Little Monsters (2019)

For some reason I wanted to show sol_se Swordsman II, which is a lot more incoherent than I remember it being. There has to be a good gender studies paper on Invincible Asia somewhere...

We followed that with the sequel, which was all about Invincible Asia (here named Invincible Dawn). Really wacky stuff. Somebody rides a swordfish at one point.

We had a double feature of Hitchcock for reasons I don't quite recall, but which I enjoyed thoroughly.

Little Monsters is a lot of fun, even though the male lead is super cringey to start. I love Lupita Nyong'o. They could've turned Josh Gad's character down a notch or three, though.
