I watch a lot of films. I write about, teach and study them too as a day job. Also a night job.

The Spectacular Now 2013
Some nice touches and good character acting but I find it hard to have sympathy for the characters. Being privileged is always such a burden for these people and their angsty mawkish moodiness about doesn't endear me too much. But a good film if you like that kind of thing.

Queen Margot 1994
Like game of thrones but with hotter people and less dragons. Also quite brilliant.

Saving Private Ryan 1998
Another Hollywood Wargasm. A band of the clear cross-section of salt-of-the-earth America get progressively killed to save the Saltest-of-the-Earthest Mid-Westerner there is. Spielberg's D-Day sequence is impressive but the golden hues of patriotism and gingham homely hokey make this pretty risible.
