LAYER CAKE - I enjoyed this one a lot but have little to no idea what happened or who any of those people are. Also still don’t really understand Daniel Craig’s appeal but he’s fun. #movies

THE BOURNE IDENTITY - I think I’ve seen this but I didn’t remember hardly any of it. It’s fun! This is apparently the year of Matt Damon for me. #movies

THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART - The funny stuff didn’t work as well as in the first one but the sweet stuff was right on point. I really liked Whatevra’s character design! #movies

THE DEPARTED - Leo’s performance was particularly great, what a thrilling plot, I hated everyone #movies

QUANTUM OF SOLACE - Oh I see, James Bond movies are Mission: Impossible movies but less fun. #movies

CASINO ROYALE - I believe this is the first James Bond movie I’ve seen. It was fine? A lot of details were confusing until I realized this movie is older than iPhone. #movies

ADVENTURELAND - I think I’m too old for this one? But I appreciated the copious amusement park scenes! #movies

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT - The first movie knew it wasn’t really about driving cars; the sequels haven’t figured that out so far. Still, Chekhov would have loved the third act and John loved the last 90 seconds. #movies

2 FAST 2 FURIOUS - Haha oh no every part of this movie was terrible except Tyrese #movies

REBECCA - Came for the Sleep No More references; stayed for the weird quickly-delivered sass #movies

GAME NIGHT - Whoa this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Everybody is so fun and smart and good!! #movies

THE INFORMANT! - Thought this was going a particular direction a few different times and it curved me every time. I love how schlubby every detail of this movie is. #movies

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS - I was thrilled for the last 30 minutes but what a painful time capsule of the early 2000s! I probably would have thought everyone in this movie was so cool if I had seen it then. #movies

SOLO - Seems like they got lost on the way to a compelling story while trying to string together every single little canonical detail of Han’s character. I liked Donald Glover though! #movies

LA CONFIDENTIAL - Guy Pearce is so good. #movies

THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY - Such a delightful first half! Such a stressful remainder! This movie wouldn’t work at all today but I appreciate it as a crime capsule. #movies

Ahh! I can post to my microblog from the micro.blog iOS app now! This is so cool.
