THE LONE RANGER (US'13): Should one complain about narrative clunkiness or rejoice about the occasional visual wit? I'm in the latter camp.

LETTER NEVER SENT (SU'59): I don't entirely understand some structural and acting choices, but talk about goddamn production values.

BEFORE SUNRISE (US/AT'95): Look at all that overeager flirting/acting. Very Linklater-y discursions into life, the universe & everything.

BEFORE SUNSET (US'04): The characters are the same, only with "if + past perfect". Some narrative shoehorning needed. Actors excellent.

BEFORE MIDNIGHT (US'13): Doesn't flow as freely. The narrative is about them as a couple, not them as individuals. Verisimilitude FTW.

TWO LOVERS (US'08): Indeed. Maybe not quite as devastating as I had led myself to believe, but then again I have the emotional life of a cod

THE GREAT GATSBY (US'13): A cold mess even in 2D.

WHAT MAISIE KNEW (US'12): Coogan's sleazebag charm, Moore's rock mom outfits, Skarsgard's puppy look. But that's all.

BREAKDOWN (US'97): Solid middle-of-nowhere thriller. Now I finally have to see Duel.

DRUG WAR (CH'12): Out-Heats Heat.

BEHIND THE CANDELABRA (US'13): A film of many delights: pouting Damon, saucer-eyed Douglas, rigid Lowe, sequins & bulges.

PACIFIC RIM (US'13): Pretty much a live-action Neon Genesis Evangelion: gorgeous and dumb. (I liked it quite a lot.)

THE WOLVERINE (US'13): I'd say there's about 3/4 of a good superhero movie in there. Relatively little exposition & action.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY (US'13): My second least favorite Pixar film / Every time I see stylized credits, I wish they do a whole movie like that

SEXY BEAST (UK'00): Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! – Rewatch after 10 years. Not too keen on the crime bits, but it does make me laugh. A lot.

BLUE JASMINE (US'13): Allen paints a post-Madoff psychodrama not with a wide brush, but a paint roller. Lovely cast feat. puffy Dice Clay.

KEKKONEN TULEE (FI'13): Tyylilaji asettaa riman korkealle, liian korkealle.
