My second half of 2013 movie watching, with arbitrary grades and short comments.

  • How to Cheat in the Leaving Exam — A
  • The Bourne Legacy — A-
  • A Cat in Paris — A
    Erica and I accidentally watched this French film without subtitles and it was just fine (there was one plot point that we figured out late in the movie, but we felt clever at that point).
  • Before Sunrise — A
  • Before Sunset — A
  • Die Hard 4 — B+
  • Before Midnight — A
  • Slacker — B+
  • Playing by Heart — B++
    The second plus is because Erica loves this movie. The B is because I think it’s bit dated.
  • Chronicle — A
  • Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows — B+
  • Kiss Kiss Bang Bang — A
  • Prometheus — C
  • American Psycho — A
    Creeepy. I also found it fascinating that the recurring detailed food descriptions that at the time were, I think, supposed to indicate something askew with the Wall Street culture felt very normal and familiar to me.
  • Dredd — A
  • Safety Not Guaranteed — A-
    This is billed as a time travel movie, but SPOILER it’s not really at all.
  • Upstream Color — A
  • Cabin Fever — Huh. A? I mean, as a bad horror movie it’s good. But as a movie, it’s weird and stupid.
  • Resident Evil: Apocalypse — C
  • Run for Your Life — A
  • Running on the Sun — A-
  • Beavis and Butt-head Do America — A
  • Distance of Truth — C+
  • Without Limits — A-
  • 2 Guns — B++
  • Oblivion — A
  • Ball of Fire — A-
  • Hunger Games: Catching Fire — B
  • Just Like Being There — A-
  • Prefontaine — B
  • The World’s End — A
  • A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas — A-
  • The Heat — A-
  • When Harry Met Sally — A-
