Mediocre Rankin/Bass stop-motion, with a good voice turn by José Ferrer.
Month: January 2015
The Lion King (1994) 80%
Superb voice acting and story.
Erin Brockovich (2000) 80%
Smart, thoughtful, and funny.
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004) 90%
Nearly perfect. Funny to see this described as a “romantic comedy” – thinking of all the other junk that would sit behind it in the same category.
Exploring Space: The Quest for Life (2006) 70%
Straightforward documentary about space and life. I learned a couple things.
Family Weekend (2013) 30%
Elevator pitch for this was probably along the lines of “like The Breakfast Club, but with more better everything.” Yeah, not quite.
Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) 50%
Repetitive and a bit tedious, though there are some things worth the price of admission.
Fargo (1996) 90%
Beautiful.
American Hustle (2013) 70%
Fun characterization, though it feels at times like watching people play dress-up.
Cheap Thrills (2014) 70%
Clever and sick. Only works on the first viewing.
