Behold, her heart.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 7/10. Snow White is beautiful. Everything looks like puppies. The best is the twenty minutes in to it, before Sleepy shows up and slows it down. What the fuck happened at the end?

If you wanna know who I am, watch the game.
Magic And Bird - 9/10. Fuuuuuuucking compelling. Two people who just sort of like each other because they see themselves in each other just enough to want to be them and to beat them.
Ain't found a way to kill me.
Terminator: Salvation - 6/10. Starring Moon Bloodgood, Jadagrace, and Common. Directed by McG. Sam Worthington has yet to show himself to be a good actor. Decent action. It's almost interesting, besides. It raises an interesting idea, of whether a crazy, extremist mother will raise a crazy, extremist son, and whether his potentially schizophrenic paranoia about his past being erased could endanger the rest of the humanity because 'this isn't how it's supposed to happen.'
That's probably reading in to it. It did not mean to say these things.

Better lives have been lived in the margins.
Hunger - 8/10. Are you still a martyr if no one cares or acknowledges you. Kind of the anti-Braveheart. A revolution surrounded more by piss and shit than speech and bluster. A very controlled movie. There's nothing there not meant to be seen, I guess to say. How the camera moves, but also in the emotions conveyed. So while fascinating to watch, when it comes time to hunger and die, I'm not sure I care.

The growth of knowledge about society,
which includes the understanding of history as the heart of culture, derives from itself an irreversible knowledge, which is expressed by the destruction of God.
Consequently, social life moves further,
leaving a state of 'having' and proceeding into a state of 'appearing;' namely the appearance of the image.

Oh, child.
Kick-Ass - 6.5/10. While it is a fun note, it is really just the one note. Attempts towards gravitas near the end head somewhere, but too late. Hit Girl.

Indistinguishable from magic.
Sherlock Holmes - 8/10. A TBS New Classic. Rachel McAdams ruins any scene she's in and poor and unnecessary CGI dampens the rest, but a otherwise a really fun movie that I will probably watch again on certain weekend afternoons of the year.

The Secret of Kells - 6.5/10. One of the prettiest movies I've seen, somewhere between Genndy Tartakovsky, The Emperor's New Groove, and Peanuts. One of the more disappointing movies I've seen. It does a great job of building towards a Looming Threat and the Last Hope, but they come and go with no answers, and treats them as if it didn't know there would be any questions. It was talking to itself, bros. This is not a movie for Outsiders.

Clash of the Titans - 4/10. Everything looks stupid, the humans included and Ralph Fiennes especially. He's either the only one who realizes he's starring in trash or he's a dumb fuck. Doesn't follow its own logic, of magical flying horses being rode on a beach in service of our god-king. Uh. Sam Worthington is appropriately handsome. I think Hollywood likes him because Christian Bale's Batman voice is his normal speaking voice.
Reviews
An American Tail - 6/10. Feivel is a sparkplug and the only one with any real weight to him. Everyone else seems like an introduction of character traits. Good songs, though.
17 Again - 7.5/10. Hey, guys, I really enjoyed this. Between 'Hairspray' and the pictures of him I take to my hairdresser, I really do think Zac Efron's got a great deal of charm, and he absolutely throws himself into doing this thing when most everyone around him seems to have given up on it. According to my scoring system, this was better than 'The Hurt Locker.'
