Year One

2009

★½ Watched

Film 7 of the October 2019 Scavenger Hunt
Task 10: Watch a film with the themes of one of the seven virtues or one of the seven vices

I watched this movie for Bill Hader and he's fully in face makeup in it, I will see myself out.

Batman Forever

1995

★½ Watched

Film 2 of the June 2019 Scavenger Hunt
Task 16: Watch a movie that has an animal in the title but does not actually feature that animal in any significant way.

I miss Michael Keaton 😔

Assassination Nation

2018

★★ Watched

Sam Levinson is so style over substance lol

Batman & Robin

1997

★★ Watched

Film 3 of the June 2019 Scavenger Hunt
Task 1: Watch a movie that stars someone who began their career as a model.

At least this one leaned more into the campiness than Batman Forever did (I'm not even sure if they realized what a campy movie they were making with the latter?) This could have benefited greatly from a shorter run time. Also I just didn't see George Clooney as Bruce Wayne (just as... George Clooney...)

Life Itself

2018

★★ 2

I liked it for a little while and then I didn't like it much and then it got predictable and I liked it even less (this will sound crazy but I knew that Rigo was going to NYU before the scene in the lecture hall with the torch that says NYU underneath it was even on screen but that was by far the least important plot element that I predicted). Also I don't know anyone at NYU who did more…

The Pleasure of Being Robbed

2008

★★½ Watched

Before Tide Pods could be eaten.... Tide had to be licked off a hand!

While We're Young

2014

★★½ Watched

Gosh this film felt patronizing. I just... didn't enjoy it. Best part was the use of "Nineteen Hundred Eighty-Five" and the corresponding subway scene.

The Holiday

2006

★★★ Watched

Truly like Cameron Diaz didn't actually want to switch houses for the holidays in the beginning at all...

John's Gone

2010

★★★ Watched

Just New York City things

Multiplicity

1996

★★★ Watched

I relate most to the dumb Michael Keaton who loves pizza and Coca-Cola.

Royal Wedding

1951

★★★ Watched

I mean... that ceiling dancing scene 😍

The Front Runner

2018

★★★ Watched

I have a degree in history and politics but did not know this man existed until I saw this movie. It's funny because even with the affairs there's a possibility that this would have turned out differently if he had just been honest about sleeping around and cheating on his wife (also who is stupid enough to start an affair while campaigning for president, it would be easier to cover up if he just waited until he was elected)
