What's this? The last Tuesday of the year? That means a top 10 films of 2011 is coming soon. Although there's a slight chance a weekend movie viewing of some well reviewed action blockbusters might be in order which will increase the field of eligible films.
For now though, a couple of movies, including the first watched using my new system for deciding which 'Criterion' releases to see. Now that Hulu has some (but not all) criterion films I'm selecting 5 random titles from their selections, choosing what I want to see, and then seeking the best format to watch it. Meaning if a hard copy Blu-Ray or HD version is available I'd prefer that to Hulu streaming, so I can see the best version of one of their highly regarded movies.
So...
CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS (1966)
Criterion #131 - Watched via Hulu Plus
Selected because of my vague memories of Time's 100 Best Films of All Time List. Deceptively simple and narrow-minded... it sort of requires reading some film critics praise in order to understand and appreciate its context.
and
EASIER WITH PRACTICE (2009)
WIFF 2010 selection
Pretty engaging indie with a real patience to it, and a good twist that is given time to breathe.
