    Simply does not exist on a spectrum of one to five stars

    Cool as fuck. Score whipped. So well shot (hated the halation though, particularly in the psych office). Fassbender and Blanchett were perfect. Supporting cast was perfect. Soderberg is just showing off at this point. It's so economical.

    Black Baaaaaag!

    The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie

    ★★★½

    In this movie, there's a fight sequence set to an R.E.M. needle drop and a Fantasia-esque montage featuring art deco visuals. In other words, I was guaranteed to love it.

    The script isn't special, and the voice acting is more good than great. But! It avoids a ton of cliché beats, and it has heart and visual gags to spare.

    Long live 2D animation.

    Finally filled in this gap, and no surprise, a perfect version of what it is.

    + Elliott Gould
    + Carl Reiner
    + Bernie Mac
    + Topher Grace as himself

    - whatever Don Cheadle's accent was
    - fewer A-frames than Lou Wilson led me to believe
