Our Kind of Traitor. It was fine. Fairly standard spy intrigue stuff. I’m on board with that, but just ran out of steam somehow.

Miami Vice. I love this movie. The pathos was stronger this time around, the resignation. On each watch I also become a little more resentful that Foxx doesn’t have a bigger role. His relationship with Crockett has something to offer the story, but we don’t see it much. I’d be up for another 12 minutes with the two of them on screen. Filed under: Michael Mann.

Moonlight. Loved it. Broke my heart many times over. One of my 2016 favorites.

Spectre. Nope. I admit that I’m not a huge fan of the franchise, in general, but this seemed especially flavorless.

Skyfall. Uhhh… I fell asleep. There’s some good location porn though. Word on the street is Quantum of Solace is the worst one? Haven’t seen it, but I’m skeptical. I guess Bond in general just isn’t my thing. Casino Royale was pretty good, though.
