This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:27:33), we talk about the influential 2002 heroic bloodshed Hong Kong crime film Infernal Affairs, directed by Alan Mak and Andrew Lau, in addition to the sixth and seventh episodes of Gravity Falls. In part two (1:27:33-2:33:26) we talk in shorter form about 7ish additional features: John Glen's 1983 Roger Moore James Bond entry Octopussy, Pierfrancesco Campanelli's 1994 giallo Bugie Rosse (The Final Scoop), Antoine Pellisier's 1985 short L'elue des enfers (The Chosen One of Hell), the Dekanalog 'An Evening With Rodney Ascher' anthology disc, the underappreciated 1986 Peter Weir coming-of-age drama The Mosquito Coast, the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot movie directed by Simon McQuoid, the horrible 1998 Brad Silberling angel romance weepie City of Angels, and the 2005 Cameron Crowe romcom fiasco Elizabethtown. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
