  • Yossi 2013

    ★★½ Watched 07 Feb, 2013

    Happy to see sequels of this ilk but Yossi is a maddeningly dull protagonist, so much so that it's difficult to buy into the final, thankfully reviving act when a young soldier takes an interest.

  • Pitch Perfect 2012

    ★★★ Rewatched 02 Feb, 2013

    Impromptu Anna Kendrick double feature. über derivative but still hilarious second time around.

  • Camp 2003

    ★★½ Rewatched 02 Feb, 2013 2

    One of the most influential indies ever as it obviously spawned "Glee". Charming but a lot rough around the edges in acting, pacing, and... uh... everything

  • Cabaret 1972

    ★★★★★ Rewatched 31 Jan, 2013

    Attended the 40th anniversary TCM screening at the Zeigfeld. Still a bonafide masterpiece. The cast spoke before the movie. Wonderful night.

  • Yossi & Jagger 2002

    ★★★★ Rewatched 23 Jan, 2013

    Wanted a refresher before hitting "Yossi" (the 10 year later sequel) - still charming, perfectly sized as filmmaker calling card.

  • The Hours 2002

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 18 Jan, 2013

    For the 10th Anniversary Celebration at The Film Experience
