A Simple Favor

A Simple Favor. Pretty fun mix of thriller and comedy and keeps a light touch. Blake Lively has a great role. I dig it.

End of Watch

End of Watch. A+, four stars. Blown away with how unexpectedly great this was, and how much I loved it. Start with something like Miami Vice, but dial back the moody cool and swap in more humor and camaraderie. Loved, loved, loved this movie.

Pitch Perfect

Pitch Perfect. A perfectly average and enjoyable modern musical comedy. So much of the humor is non sequitur. Anna Kendrick is a delight, as always. I won’t go out of my way to watch the sequel, though.

50/50

50/50. No major flaws, no major features. Brick is still my favorite movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, though I haven’t seen all that many.

Up in the Air

Up in the Air. One of the best movies I saw this year. Left the theater feeling quite satisfied.
