Ponderous Personal Projects

Never have I seen so many things come flying towards the camera.

Title:	A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
Director:	Todd Strauss-Schulson
Score:	3/6
Watched in:	2D

Maybe I’m just desensitized, but I thought this was really boring, and the characters were completely unbelievable.  I thought Terrence was supposed to be good!

Title:	Badlands
Director:	Terrence Malick
Score:	2/6
Finished:	at 1.5x

Again with the lazy writing, Hollywood! I won’t bother with retyping my argument yet again! 

Title:	The Wolverine
Director:	James Mangold
Score:	3/7
Crush:	Yes, a little bit.

Noisey uploaded it to youtube, so I couldn’t help clicking, and then I couldn’t turn it off, even though it sits on the shelf behind me. 

Title:	loudQUIETloud
Director:	Matthew Galkin / Steven Cantor
Score:	5/6
Peeve:	Foley artist? Why does a documentary about the Pixies need a foley artist!?!!!!1ELEVEN!!11!

Saturday is family movie day, even when postponed. 

Title:	Home Alone

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.
