Moneyball rules.

The Descendants is solid.

There’s a good movie somewhere in Tinker, but it’s too dense for its own good.

Hugo is fine but forgettable.

Never saw The Lincoln Lawyer.
TTSS is pretty dense, but I still kinda love it. I loved Moneyball and was a big fan of The Descendants. I enjoyed Hugo, but feel like I would have really loved it as a child. Haven't seen The Lincoln Lawyer either.

Historical revisionists will tell you that 3 is good. Those people are liars and frauds.

Saw Hugo today. My favorite part, is the one about early movie history, and the sense of wonder around it.

Now Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and plan to see Moneyball afterwards.

moneyball is remarkably rewatchable, unlike say, foxcatcher or capote, which i think are better movies

It’s incredibly rewatchable. I like it way better than Foxcatcher though regardless
