Good, but I'm a sucker for Woody's movies, so what'd you expect?

Tell No One
Runs a little long, but I really enjoyed this. For the first half, I thought I was watching a masterpiece. Good times.

The Wackness
Maintains a steady level of eh for pretty much its entire running time. I like Olivia Thirlby and Ben Kingsley (an ugly bastard I realized) is occasionally funny (even while his character seemed wholly artificial). The lead guy should've been recast. It's always nice to see Method Man....

[Friend's movie]
We went to see one of my friends's first feature. Saying anything about it here (pseudo-anonymously on the Internets) feels inappropriate so I won't - aside from this place-holder.

Hancock
Will Smith was miscast here, but I did enjoy a fair amount of it. Once again, Jason Bateman excels.

Rashōmon
Kinda terrific. When I have time I'll get back to this and its commentary/ies and extras and whatnot(s).

Lethal Weapon 2
The best of the genre. Everything that came before it was inferior, everything that followed derivative. It was a load of fun to watch this again - it's been ages.

Sunshine
Really interesting and beautiful and then suddenly maddeningly stupid. Truly terrible final act; one of the worst endings I can remember.
2 stars (entirely because of the start - or the ending, depending how you look at it); iTunes rental; June 23rd

Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner
I remember thinking the ending was disappointing, and the movie was not at all what I expected, but appreciating something about it, but not caring a tremendous amount generally.

12 Angry Men
I rented this because I had jury duty coming up and I wanted to learn how to be vindictive, censorious, and punishing.

Be Kind Rewind
Kinda sweet, fun to watch, entertaining atmosphere and ideas, but minor.
