Hopefully you have all been enjoying my recent exploration of the Western genre; I know I have. Some brief notes before we move on to greener pastures (and homework):
Today is John Wayne's 103rd birthday! I will celebrate with one more Western review, of Hondo (1953), before transitioning into a war movie marathon in preparation for Memorial Day. Um, in between classes and work, of course.
I have Sands of Iwo Jima, Battle of Algiers and A Bridge Too Far on loan from the Carnegie Library. TCM is being accomodating, too: They're airing They Were Expendable tonight, and over the weekend, two favorites I would like to review, Battleground and The Best Years of Our Lives. Expect reviews on at least some of these soon.
For those of you bored with Western reviews, I will try and get back to more diverse fare in June. Before summer term wraps up, I hope to see Black Narcissus, rewatch Rent for review purposes, Persepolis if the Carnegie ever gets it back, additional Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Ford and more! Don't touch that dial!
