Adaptation. I dig it. Weird and lively. Nicolas Cage is genius again. My Spike Jonze rankings:
- Her
- Adaptation
- Being John Malkovich
- “Flashing Lights”
- “Sabotage”
- “Get Back”
- Where the Wild Things Are

The Town
The Town. This movie is so great. (Previously.) Follows that wonderful formula that Heat, uses: criminals + leader + wildcard teammate + romantic complication + the pressure to do just one more job = everything falling apart. Hall and Hamm’s characters seemed stronger on second viewing. Renner’s character? I can’t enough.
Doug MacRay: You can’t be up there killing people.
James Coughlin: Hey, you brought me.
The Town
The Town. I would have preferred less gunfire and more of everything else, but geez. Affleck. Dude can direct! I’m excited to see what else he comes up with. Gotta check out Gone Baby Gone and Argo soon. Also, I love Renner in this. What a nut.
