A Viewing Marathon

I have recently added the following reviews:

Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom

Grade: C+

47 Ronin

Grade: D-

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

Grade: C+

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Grade: C

The Wolf of Wall Street

Grade: A-

Obviously, the last is the highlight. It is also one of the best films of 2013, and will almost certainly factor into my final Top Ten, whenever I publish it. I highly recommend The Wolf of Wall Street.

In With the Old . . . And the New

I have recently added the following reviews:

Trance

Grade: F

C.O.G.

Grade: C

Additionally, I have decided to view some past movies that have escaped my attention too long. You can find my deliberately short reviews in the Yesteryear section, if you’re curious. So far it only includes three movies (The Birds, Anchorman and Night of the Living Dead), but I’ll keep adding to it.

On The Big Screen

I have added the following reviews:

Saving Mr. Banks

Grade: C+

Nebraska

Grade: B

American Hustle

Grade: B+

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Grade: D+

I don’t hate any of them, but The Desolation of Smaug is certainly my least favorite. American Hustle doesn’t quite make my top ten, but it is the one I most recommend. Nebraska is very good, and Saving Mr. Banks is above average.

Why Don’t I Speak More Languages?

I have added the following reviews:

Museum Hours

Grade: C-

Therese

Grade: D+

The Hunt

Grade: A-

The Hunt is the only one I recommend. And I recommend it quite forcefully; it is fantastic.

It’s Cold Out

I’ve added the following review:

Frozen

Grade: A-

Why only one this time? I’m about to endeavor seeing a handful of foreign films, most notably The Hunt, and Frozen doesn’t fit their category. Besides, I really like this movie, so highlighting it can’t be bad.

On Life and Death

I have recently added the following reviews:

About Time

Grade: D-

The Book Thief

Grade: B

Surprisingly, they have some thematic similarities. The latter is certainly much better than the former, though.

Matthew McConaughey Might Be My New Favorite Actor. How Did that Happen?

I have added the following reviews:

Out of the Furnace

Grade: C-

Dallas Buyer’s Club

Grade: A-

Both feature tremendous performances from amazing casts, but Out of the Furnace lacks a good screenplay. Dallas Buyer’s Club is high quality, and McConaughey is fantastic.
