    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    ★★★

    A pretty good film adaptation of a pretty good book. The material definitely works better in its literary form: the best parts of the movie are all directly from book, with the added bits feeling a bit perfunctory. But the casting is quite good and there are some cinematic flourishes that I enjoyed.

    ★★★

    A lot of elements in this that I loved: it’s very beautifully shot, the two leads are unsurprisingly captivating, and that fishing boat is my dream. But it just didn’t fully hang together for me. I can’t complain too much though because this is exactly the type of movie I want ten of every year.

    Just a super generic, manipulative documentary on a subject I don’t care that much about. Sorry Dr. Chang.

    One of the best ever. A movie that perfectly understands what it’s like to be a man. An absolute diamond of a screenplay.
