This Week In Rankings


I watched a lot of movies over the last week, but have had no opportunity as yet to write more than a few lines on letterboxd about them as a very small grumpy old man takes up most of my free time. I hope to coordinate things better in the next week so I can write something about Paul WS Anderson's Resident Evil movies at least, and maybe some other things as well. In the meantime I've been tweeting out some links to older content: this week saw a review of The Poor Little Rich Girl for Mary Pickford's birthday and a They Shot Pictures episode for Hou Hsiao-hsien's birthday. Also one of my favorite movies from last year is now available on Instant Netflix: Hong Sangsoo's In Another Country. You can check out more in my Review Index or my Essay & Podcast Index.

These are the movies I've watched and rewatched over the past week, along with where they place on my year-by-year rankings. I've linked to my letterboxd comments where applicable.
