    ★★½

    The concept of a guy pitching his last game and it’s perfect and reminiscing on life is pretty good. But the execution doesn’t feel good.

    Anyway it’s fine. Probably won’t watch again.

    John Carpenter’s The Thing is a horror film steeped in paranoia, isolation, and body horror.

    ★★★★½

    This movie rules. It’s got Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, and Samantha Morton. It’s directed by Stephen Spielberg. It’s filled with wonder and a fully realized futuristic world. It’s a tight script with a couple of twists. What more could you ask for? It’s gritty and bright, beautiful and weird, it’s a movie with themes of free will vs determinism and morality and all kinds of other stuff. It’s a good movie folks.
