More ‘like a crazy person’ movie marathon. I think I’m done (since I’m not going to watch 12 Years a Slave until I can fast forward on my computer) and these are my top three: Nebraska, Dallas Buyers Club, and Frances Ha. I’m happy, it was a good season.
The new ones…Philomena (totally charming); August: Osage County (Meryl Streep is in it).
From before: The Book Thief (don’t bother); Gravity (+=technology, -=everything else); Nebraska (slow, quiet, b&w, it gets you); Francis Ha (indie goodness); Inside Llewyn Davis (good on the cat); Her (slow, uninvolving, but I liked the ending); American Hustle (fun, entertaining, surprisingly light); Captain Phillips (exciting and well done even though you already know what happens); Blue Jasmine (funky and not great); Dallas Buyers Club (WHoo, So Good!); Wolf of Wall Street (mostly boring).
