| Young Tiger / Fist of Fear Touch of Death | |||||||||
| Amazon | |||||||||
| Comments | Young Tiger is an early film starring Jackie Chan. Fist of Fear, Touch of Death is a faux “documentary” (that is passed off as a documentary), featuring interview footage of Bruce Lee that is badly redubbed by someone else to present a false version of Bruce Lee’s death, which keeps getting re-released because it’s in the public domain. | ||||||||
Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “For people with UHD Blu-Ray players, the Hitchcock Collection is an easy pick. For people with nostalgia for the Rankin/Bass animated films, I’d give that a pick. On the anime front, I’m going with the new release of Mazinger Z.” Blaine says, “I agree with Alex about both the Hitchcock and Rankin/Bass collections.”
I open these, but rather than read a long list of things I am mildly interested in. I skip to the “Picks of the week”. Could that part be moved to the top, maybe even above the fold?
I also feel like I suggested that before, and if so, I am sorry, I don’t mean to pester, I just forgot I said it before.
Schindler’s List is one of those movies that everyone should see at least once.
I’m not a huge fan of R&H musicals, but South Pacific is excellent with a message that is (sadly) still prescient.
