721) A Time to Die. You know, not many directors have the courage, the talent, the skill, hell, the balls to tackle a subject like the haunting eroticism inherent in taking a former porn star to a shooting range. Thankfully Charles T. Kanganis is such a man.

722) The Wrong Man. Two more Hitchcock's and I'm done. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a copy of Torn Curtain in Birmingham and it isn't on DVD so Netflix doesn't have it either. This is troubling. Anyway, the more I see of Henry Fonda the more I think it's wrong for him to be in anything other than westerns. The first movie I ever saw him in was The Cheyenne Social Club and it seems like, until this year at least, westerns are the only moveis I've seen him in. Aside: Watch Firecreek NOW if you want to see Henry Fonda play a scary ass sumbitch. I have no idea why this isn't on DVD yet, it's one of Fonda's and Stewart's best performances and one of the best westerns I've ever seen. I'm just saying. So yeah, unless he's a tough guy gunslinger then he just seems wrong to me and I can't get into it. Still, it's a solid Hithcock outing.

722 down, 278 to go.
