  • Paddington 2

    Paddington 2 2017

    ★★★★½ Watched 14 Jan, 2018

    Absolutely delightful. I could see this making my top 10 list of 2018, and it will make my list of best film moments/endings.

    Funny and sweet, but with some great bits that would've gone over the heads of my young nephews if I'd taken them. A very fine cast, including Brendan Gleeson as a guy named Knuckles. Then there's Hugh Grant, I now get the BAFTA nomination. He's hysterical as the vain (really vain), has-been actor and villain, playing the has-been part so over the top and clearly poking fun at himself.

    Steve Jobs 2015

    ★★★★½ Watched 15 Oct, 2015

    4 stars for now, but it may creep up.

    A stunning action film with mind blowing stunts and effects. A story I was completely invested in, and one with consequences. Characters I cared about (and teared up over). Unabashedly feminist. Tom Hardy was fine as Max, but the film absolutely belongs to Charlize Theron.

  • Edge of Tomorrow

    Edge of Tomorrow 2014

    ★★★★ Watched 07 Jun, 2014

    Edge of Tomorrow is an entertaining scifi/action film with a lot of humor. Think The Longest Day + Groundhog Day + Independence Day/other alien invasion films. Kudos to Liman and the screenwriters (and editor) for crafting an entertaining story while also trusting the audience enough to follow along. Even the "alien explanation" information dump wasn't overly clunky. However, the film has some third act issues, including an abrupt ending that could've been more satisfying.

    Cruise did a fine job with…
