Erin Brockovich. Roberts is great, but it’s hamstrung by its repetition. Manages to make paperwork interesting for a couple hours, though.
The Devil Wears Prada
The Devil Wears Prada. It does a good job of playing both sides. I wish it would move a little more quickly.
The Social Network
The Social Network. I didn’t like the Zuckerberg characterization as much this time around (previously), but somehow I felt more sympathetic. Great movie. Filed under: David Fincher.
The Spiritual Shape of Political Ideas

I feel at ease with whatever will come
I feel at ease with whatever will come, not because I am strong but because this is a part of life.
Angelina Jolie Pitt, Stoic philosopher. Filed under: acceptance.
Run All Night
Run All Night. Well there’s nothing new here, but some good stuff, and also a groaner of a villainous re-appearance. I was surprise at how many nice photographs there are in this one, in particular some really lovely nighttime city scenes. Makes me more curious about Unknown and Non-Stop.
Mean Girls
Mean Girls. Brilliant. Another screen-on-the-green viewing. This might be the movie I quote the most? (Previously.)
Blade Runner
Blade Runner. Had the good fortune to see this on a big screen, in a big park. So rad. Filed under: Blade Runner.
The Equalizer
The Equalizer. Second viewing (the first). I wish there were a prequel about Marton Csokas’ character.
Wild
Wild. Meh.
