For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is 25th Hour (2002), a crime drama from renowned auteur Spike Lee, whose work, surprisingly, we have never watched on Hextube. Edward Norton stars as a convicted drug dealer living out his last day before starting his prison sentence, making preparations with his friends and family and walking the post-9/11 urban hellscape known as New York City. Actually, it was the first theatrical feature film to mention 9/11 at all. Highly critically-acclaimed; let’s watch.

After that is Lone Wolf & Cub: Baby Cart to Hades (1972), the third installment in the grindhousey Japanese samurai action series starring a rogue swordsman and his increasingly-sickofied child protege. They kill a whole lot of bad guys in creatively gory fashion. We watched the first two films some time ago, but not this one, which is about as well-regarded. As with the others, this one contains some sleazy sex stuff too, which is pretty much par for the course for this sort of film, but be forewarned.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
