Kick-Ass 3.5/5: We wanted to watch some superhero shit and my friend had missed this. It’s the right mix of grounded and cartoony. Could use less of late 2000s “gotta get the nerd laid” energy but it’s hardly the worst offender
Lawrence of Arabia 5/5: Incredible. 3 hours and 48 minutes and the only thing I’d cut is 5 minute orchestral opening. Absolutely worth seeing in a theater if you can. What unbelievably compelling man, I understand following him across the desert. It’s shocking that Alec Guinness gets away with his role but fuck does he nail it
E.T. 3/5: Hit shuffle on plex and this is what I got. Spielberg is really good at nailing heart in his movies. Which is impressive because that’s a sort of nebulous thing that’s hard to define. The movie lays the groundwork to justify a child’s love saving E.T.'s life but it’s still an overdone narrative
