Week One

I have already gotten a jump start on the week. Last night I watched the original Manchurian Candidate for the first time. First impressions: Janet Leigh could do better than an old Frank Sinatra in his Mr. Rogers sweater vest. I know he sang Fly Me to the Moon but come one. More on the film later.

For now I would like to map out the week's mission statement:

Manchurian Candidate (1962) - Check
The Lives of Others (2006) - Check
Strike (1925) - Check
Magnolia (1999) - Check
