  Poor Things 2023

  Watched 03 Feb 2024

  Left me feeling bad and I yet have to determine what that is even saying, about me or the movie. And wow, what a non-review..

  Cold Comes the Night 2013

  ★★½ Watched 19 Jan 2014

  It's not really bad, but it's not good either. The biggest problem is that it just isn't that thrilling, I guess. For the most part it was moving quite slowly although it picked up a towards the end. Bryan Cranston's character was fun to watch, while Alice Eve's had some flaws (writing- and performance-wise).
  I liked the small Breaking Bad references though, there were three (a line of dialogue, a certain camera angle and the music before the credits), if I'm correct. :D

  127 Hours 2010

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Jan 2014

  Great acting by Franco, great cinematography and sounddesign. Although I feel as if this would've worked better as a shortfilm.

  Drinking Buddies 2013

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2014

  Beautiful people drinking and talking a lot, even if about nothing. It's all in the title. The interesting bits are the unspoken ones. It's probably not easy to get them across with improvisation, but the cast does a good job with it.
  There are no big surprises, but one shouldn't expect those in mumblecore-/slice-of-life-movies like this one. It serves its purpose and entertains in spite of its perceived triviality.
