January 2010

By: House of Leaves

Everything I watched in January, excepting Dear Zachary: A Letter from a Father to his Son, which isn’t in the database yet.

As you can see, this was the month I started Haneke Panky (he’s now one of my favorite directors), was first introduced to Wang Bing (a singular artist), and saw one of the worst films I’ve ever paid to see (thank you, Peter Jackson).

Also, all of these were first-time watches except Hurt Locker and Hidden.
