We've been pretty big on movie nights, being poor students, so I'll throw down a handful of the ones we've made it through recently.
Pulp Fiction: I find Tarrantino pretty hit or miss. It's strange, because I love so many of the qualities of his work, but I rarely find that they all come together at once for me. In the case of Pulp Fiction, I was honestly left wanting.
500 Days of Summer: Aw heck, this is just about the indie-pop-est film ever, but I really enjoyed it.
Fracture: Saw this quite some time ago, and for some reason remember it being much longer and more complicated. Ah, growing up.
The Ides of March: Probably need to have a good grasp of American politics to really enjoy this. Spent most of the film predicting an elaborate blackmail conspiracy that never came to fruition. Hmh.
Lars and the Real Girl: Thought this incredibly boring when I was 17, but gave it another go and got a great deal more out of it as an adult. Cute film.
Crazy Stupid Love: I could be gay for Emma Stone. Awkward, funny film.
Drive: While I'm not sure it lived up to the amount of hype it has received, there's still something highly intriguing about this one. I think I liked it.
Stay: Great premise, nice surprise, but some aspects of how they accomplished the conclusion are confusing and pissed me off.
You might be sensing a theme here.
