Saturday is family movie day, even when postponed. 

Title:	Home Alone
Director:	Chris Columbus
Score:	2099/2099
Dad thinks:	Slapstick never gets old.

Well made, but pointless.. 

Title:	Countdown
Director:	Robert Altman
Score:	3/6
CGI:	No CGI!

Could’ve been a lot better. Good plot, bad acting, horrible fake accents, Eddie Izzard. 

Title:	Blueberry
Director:	Jan Kounen
Score:	4/6
Bonus/Malus:	Minuses for Izzard and the accents, plusses for trippy CGI and some fine noise.

X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter is still the bee’s knees! A bit of trainin, one mission, and then: impossibly difficult! 

Title:	Looper
Director:	Rian Johnson
Score:	4/6
The young Bruce Willis:	Is it just me, or does he look more like the young Robert Mitchum?

Boring. 

Title:	One Hour Photo
Director:	Mark Romanek
Score:	3/8
Regrets:	Should’ve played X-Wing vs TIE-Fighter instead.

wtf…. 

Title:	The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia
Director:	Julien Nitzberg
Score:	3/7
Thoughts:	Better stay here in civilization.

LOL. 

Title:	Murder Party
Director:	Jeremy Saulnier
Score:	4/6
Ginger-beer-out-the-nose-moment:	The closet escape.

Wow! Awesome! An absolutely awesome demonstration of the power of the documentary format, and a nervewracking thriller to boot. 

Title:	The Conspiracy
Director:	Christopher MacBride
Score:	6/6
Fingernails:	None left!

An excruciatingly boring scifi comedy that seems to exist only to flash items like the Nintendo Powerglove or the Viewmaster, so we can go “Hey! I had one of those!”

On the plus side: lots of Todd Rundgren songs. 

Title:	Space Station ’76
Director:	Jack Plotcnick
Score:	3/6
Bonus points for:	Todd!

A sweet little documentary about the philosophy factory of USA. 

Title:	The Parking Lot Movie
Director:	Meghan Eckman
Score:	6/7
Subtlety:	8/7
