Letterboxd Dump

I'm really far behind.

But, there's not all that much catching up to do because I haven't watched a movie in two weeks now, though I did watch half an hour of Distant Trumpet on Monday morning.

Abby and I finished Parks & Recreation Season 3. I'm afraid that S3 is when the show peaked and that it's all downhill from here. I hope not. Season 3 is really good.

I still haven't made up my mind about Tyrannosaur. I watched it again with the director's commentary on. I don't think it's a great film, but it's a very good one and I'll be following Paddy Considine from now on. That guy's got a lot of heart.

I should write about The Comedy but I won't. I think that it's at least as good as Spring Breakers, if not much better.

I also owe Ben a longer Wise Kids post. I don't care enough about it to put in the effort.

So, one big bleh and some repubbing of crappy Letterboxd content catches me up to the present.

I'm still digesting this one. The half-star (that i always try to avoid) marks my indecision as to whether I all-out love this one or if I'm going to let a few tics keep me from fully embracing it. I'm planning on watching it again soon.

I forgot to log this one from last week. I liked it more than Brandon did.

Alverson achieves his purpose. It's too bad that this success means a movie that is painfully unfunny in its funny.

The Wise Kids 2011

I guess I was expecting more. Everything about this film is shallow and right-on-the-nose. There are no characters to care about in this film, only preordained types used to represent ideas.

Fun to watch. This would be a Hollywood blockbuster if a great English dub and a bold marketing campaign existed for it.
