January Movies

The weather was unseasonably nice in Ohio this January, so I ended up playing outside with my friends more than expected. Hence, less movies watched, but as always, with two-word reviews:

Happythankyoumoreplease - illogical choices
The Eagle - slow scenery
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows - slower successor
In the Loop - foul brilliance
The Rules of Attraction - train wreck
The Kid Stays in the Picture - ego unchecked
Winter’s Bone - effective starkness
The Greatest Movie Ever Sold - lacks revelations
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol - franchise best
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - methodically unnerving
Bad Teacher - bad movie
Life as We Know It - forced selfishness
Priest - oppressively dour
